Bite Mark Case Number Five
|
This victim was sexually assaulted in a violent abduction rape from an urban city street. These injuries were photographed about 72 hours after the assault. There was only one opportunity to photograph these injuries, so visible and non-visible light photographs were taken. All bites were done by the same biter during the same attack. |
