GRAPHIC PHOTOS: Man bites off girlfriend's lip after accusing her of cheating on him

A man has been charged after he bit off his girlfriend's lip because he suspected her of "cheating" on him after she revealed she wanted to end their relationship. 

The abusive boyfriend Seth Aaron Fleury, 23, is alleged to have abused his girlfriend almost every single day for the period they've been together - nearly a year.

The domestic violence continued, but the last straw that made Kayla Hayes, 19, get help was when he bit off her lower lip because he suspected her of cheating on him.

Hayes, 19, is still healing from the physical and mental injuries inflicted on her that horrific night on October 21, 2017.

For nearly a year, Kayla Hayes has been haunted by the abuse she suffered at the hands of her ex-boyfriend but has bravely opened up about what she went through in the hope she can inspire others to seek help if they are victims of domestic violence.

Hayes wrote on Facebook:

This was the day that a piece of me died.

Sitting in a puddle of my own blood with the majority of my lip laying on my leg, my whole mouth on fire, confused and terrified, I didn’t know how I could ever show my face again. At that point, wishing that those very seconds would just be my last— I wanted to give up for good.

Last week, Seth was sentenced to 12 years in prison after pleading guilty to assault and battery of a high and aggravated nature.

Seth admitted in court to biting off Kayla's lip when she refused to kiss him after telling him she did not want to continue with the relationship.
