I am Charah Tabetha Watson a 23 year old 5 feet 5 inches of slim build
>female. On the night of Friday September 28, 2007, on arriving home on
>shortwood road I was brutally attacked by my sister's boy friend who also
>is the father of my nephew.
>
>I got home at approximately 7:30 pm I put my keys into the door but soon
>realized that the door was bolted from the inside. I knocked on the door
>and my eight 8 year old niece Taiye came to the window and then said " oh,
>its auntie charah" she then unbolted the door and I enter the house. On
>entering the house I saw my attacker =, Neto Meeks son of a prominent media
>personality Amina Blackwood Meeks and Professor Brian Meeks, who had
>treaten to kill me on Wednesday September 26 in front of my mother and my
>niece. On seeing me enter Neto Meeks (son of Amina Blackwood Meeks and
>Professor Brian Meeks) eased up out the chair which he was sitting in. I
>proceed to walk pass him to enter my room, however I didn't make it that
>far. As soon as I was about a foot/step infront of Neto Meeks (son of Amina
>Blackwood Meeks and Professor Brian Meeks) I felt a body pounced on me.
>Neto Meeks (son of Amina Blackwood Meeks and Professor Brian Meeks) jumped
>me from behind engulfing the entire left side of my body ( my school bag
>was still on my shoulder). I immediately reached into the side of my bag
>for a knife which I was advised by my sister Italee Watson to carry because
>she had reason to believe that I might be in danger.
>
>Neto Meeks (son of Amina Blackwood Meeks and Professor Brian Meeks) then
>put his arm around my neck and accosted my right hand which had my only
>source of defence with his right hand (he was still behind me). Neto Meeks
>(son of Amina Blackwood Meeks and Professor Brian Meeks) proceeded to push
>me into a room at the back of the living room. Neto Meeks (son of Amina
>Blackwood Meeks and Professor Brian Meeks)
>Who is a BLACK BELT KARATE EXPERT who trains religiously every morning and
>evening and practice at least 3 different form of Karate and is either a
>3RD OR 4TH DEGREE BLACK BELT HOLDER, started kneeing me in my back and my
>lower body while he was chocking me with his arm. My school back is still
>over my shoulder, and my right hand is still in the custody of Neto Meeks
>(son of Amina Blackwood Meeks and Professor Brian Meeks). I started bitting
>Neto Meeks (son of Amina Blackwood Meeks and Professor Brian Meeks) on his
>left arm trying to get break free from his grip around my neck ( all this
>time my two nieces were screaming and crying). I manage to get my head free
>from his strong manly hold. However he still had my right hand. I started
>pushing him against the wall trying to excape is now punching left hand and
>his powerful knee kicks to my chest and stomach area. I manage to push
>Neto Meeks (son of Amina Blackwood Meeks and Professor Brian Meeks) up
>against the computer desk the 6 +feet muscular man then grab at my left ear
>with his mouth. He managed to grip it and proceeded to dig into the flesh
>of my ear. I some how managed to free my ear from his mouth but not without
>sustaining a wicked bite emcopassing the entire bottom half of my left ear.
>Neto Meeks (son of Amina Blackwood Meeks and Professor Brian Meeks)
>Still had my right hand which held my only defence against this LETHAL
>BLACK BELT KARATE EXPERT. Neto Meeks (son of Amina Blackwood Meeks and
>Professor Brian Meeks) then started bitting me all over my body leaving
>behind life long scars on my right arm and my right shoulder.

>I again started pushing him with all my strength, with my school bag still
>over my left shoulder, this was all I could do to fend off my attacker. We

>Professor Brian Meeks) on top of me, he then made several attempts to stab
>me with the knife that was in my right hand which he was using all his
>MANLY STRENGH TO CONTROL. I then started biting him on his right arm trying
>to release my right hand from his grip. Neto Meeks (son of Amina Blackwood
