CLAYTON COUNTY, Ga. — A Clayton County woman said she was asleep in her bed early Friday when a man broke into her apartment and sexually assaulted her around 2 a.m. Now, she is determined to find the attacker.
The victim, who does not want to be identified, told Channel 2 Action News she feared for her life when the man entered through a window in her unit at Tara Bridge Apartments.
The woman said a male suspect wearing a blue T-shirt and black shorts started to choke and punch her.
"I was just screaming, 'Help me! Help me! Help me God! Just help! I don't want to die!'" the woman said.
She said the man kept telling her he was "going to put her to sleep." The woman told Channel 2 Action News she thought she was going to die. She detailed the attack as the most horrible moment of her life.
"I don't want this to be it. I haven't had kids. I never been married. I don't want to die and not have kids," the woman said.

“He was saying, 'You're frustrating me. You're frustrating me. Just let me have what I want,'” the woman said.
