CORDELE — Local police responded to a bizarre call over the weekend in which the suspect assaulted a woman by among other things, licking her feet.
Shortly before 4 a.m. Sunday, Pvt. Christina Martinez and SSgt. Cecil Rogers of the Cordele Police Department responded to a local hotel in reference to a possible sexual assault involving an employee there.
While speaking with the victim, she told the officers that a black man came into the hotel while she was in the back and asked her to “do him a favor” and let him lick her feet. The victim said she thought the man was joking and shrugged it off.
The man then instructed her to come out from behind the counter, all the while keeping his hands in his pockets, making the victim think he possibly had a weapon.
He then took her to an area of the business where security cameras weren’t located and made her walk on his back and stomach several times with her shoes on and then in her bare feet. The suspect then made the woman put on a pair of black high heels that he brought in and had her stand on the palms of his hands with the heels.
He proceeded to lick her feet, counting each time he did so, and all the while video-taping the event. The man then added a chair and had the victim place the front legs on his palms while she sat in the chair.
The victim described the man as “nerdy” and “feminine-acting” with a light complexion. He is approximately 5 feet 5 inches tall, weighing approximately 200 pounds. He was last seen wearing a pair of faded green pants. The man left the hotel in a dark blue car, but the victim was not sure which way he went.
Similar incidents involving a “foot-licker” have occurred in nearby Americus and Albany and within the last several weeks, a foot-licker plagued a town in Michigan.
