An Oakland County girl is in critical condition after authorities say an Illinois man stabbed her for not having sex with him. The 18-year-old suspect traveled to Michigan after meeting the victim online.According to the Oakland County Sheriff's Office, the victim met the 18-year-old from Monmouth, Ill. on a social media website. The pair discussed meeting up, and the man went to her home in the 6000 block of N.
When the girl wouldn't have sex with the man, authorities say he stabbed her multiple times with an 8-inch knife he had purchased the day before in White Lake Township. A sibling was sleeping at the home when the attack happened, but the victim's parents were not home. The victim was able to call her parents, who rushed home and called 911. She was listed as critical but stable.The suspect fled after the stabbing but was arrested shortly after when he called 911 in Waterford Township.
Detectives said the man admitted that he was angry the girl would not have sex with him, and therefore he assaulted her with a knife. "Meeting in person with people you have met online can be extremely dangerous," Bouchard said. "You have no idea of who that person really is or their motivation. Anytime you meet someone via the internet, it is always a very good idea to do so in a public setting and preferably have someone else with you. Do not share personal information like where you live or other items that will allow a person to locate or track you.
