Daniel Bothell
An Iowa City man with prior assault charges is accused of assaulting and attempting to sexually abuse a woman in her home.
Daniel R. Bothell, 32, of 424 Dakota Trail, allegedly dragged a woman down the hallway of her Iowa City residence around 11 p.m. Monday while repeatedly hitting her, causing injury, police said. He then allegedly ripped her clothes off and forced her into her bedroom while saying he was going to sexually abuse her, according to criminal complaints.
Police said Bothell also bit the woman in the neck, puncturing her skin.
Bothell pleaded guilty to a previous domestic abuse assault charge in June 2007, and faces another domestic abuse assault charge from an incident in October in which he allegedly struck a woman in the face, causing bleeding and a black eye.
Bothell is charged with assault with intent to commit sexual abuse. A bond hearing is set for this morning.
A real man buys his special someone flowers or tells them how good they look. We never act like what is described here.
The only person who should ever have to endure this kind of treatment, is maybe the kind of person who inflicts it. I sure hope these women are now free from this abuse.
this guy looks like a grown up charlie brown.
