ah ha! I found a pic of him! here he is....http://www.witn.com/home/headlines/Ayden-Man-Accused-Of-Kidnapping-And-Assaulting-Teen-188180751.html

Not that 16 vs 40 is any better, but here is what the Daily Reflector is posting....UPDATE:

Sgt. Joe Friday with the Greenville Police Department said the victim of a kidnapping and assault was a 40-year-old woman, not a 16-year-old girl as originally stated in a press release.

Friday also said the two know each other, though the relationship is not yet clear.

Why is he not charged with attempted murder? He cut the girl's throat...

How many times is this guy going to be allowed on the streets before he finally kills someone? Our judicial system is a joke!!! If it were up to me he would receive the death penalty...eye for an eye

Prayers for her. Life in prison for that monster.

He does not need a bond!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Police said Smith has previously been arrested for attempted murder"

But yet he was out walking the streets to do it again!! Score 9 million for the bad guys - 12 for our justice system-- its a shame

Guys like this need to be quickly sent to meet their one true judge.

why no photo which is punishment by shaming to small degree?

I guess he thought his action will make him a big man in prison where he should spend the remainder of his life. Sorry but a real man does not beat up on any person or animal for any reason except to defend your self or another person
