Man Breaks Into 78-Year-Old Woman’s House, Pulls Her Pants Down With The Intention Of Raping Her

A Detroit man was charged this weekend for sexually assaulting an elderly woman after he broke into her house.

Dazaun Leonard-Davaugh, 30, allegedly broke into a 78-year old woman’s house around 10:40 A.M on June 20 in Detroit.

Investigators say he knocked the woman down and pulled down her pants, putting his body on top of hers. Before anymore damage could be done, she fought him off and he fled the scene, which was caught on security cameras.

“The defendant’s alleged actions in this case once again show a continuing disregard for our elders and our most vulnerable,” Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy said.

Johnson turned himself in on June 30 and is charged with first-degree home invasion and assault with intent to commit sexual penetration.

If convicted, Johnson faces up to 20 years in prison for the home invasion charge and up to ten years for the assault charge.

“This is a cowardly act on a vulnerable citizen in our community,” Detroit police Chief James White said.
