A Detroit woman bit off a man's tongue after she asked him not to use it while kissing, but he did anyway.

A Detroit man is recovering after a woman he was kissing bit off his tongue, according to the Macomb County Prosecutor's Office.

Youlette Wedgeworth, 52, and the man were engaged in a consensual kiss on January 28 when the incident occurred, police and prosecutors allege. She had asked him to not put his tongue in her mouth. When he did anyway, she bit it off, Prosecutor Eric J. Smith told CNN affiliate WXYZ.

Police responded to the incident and found the man bleeding from his mouth and missing about 1 inch of his tongue, the prosecutor's office said in a statement.

"I believe this is the first case of this nature in my 27 years in the prosecutor's office," Smith said in the statement.

Police were able to recover the man's tongue in his apartment bedroom. He was transported to an area hospital and Wedgeworth was taken into custody without further incident, the prosecutors office said.

There was no immediate word of the man's condition.

Wedgeworth was charged with aggravated assault, a misdemeanor punishable by up to a year in jail and a $1,000 fine.

A pre-trial conference is scheduled for February 19.

Omar Safdar, 30, of Oldham was part of a gang of sexual predators who raped the girl, aged between 14 and 16, in the Keighley area of West Yorkshire over a period between 2008 and 2009.

The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) said a total of eight men were found guilty of 23 counts of rape and two of conspiracy to rape in two separate trials at Bradford Crown Court last year.

The CPS said two were sentenced last year and four more were jailed on Friday.

The CPS said the six sentences so far were: Omar Safdar, 30, of Oldham – 12 years, Nazir Khan, 30, of Keighley – 12 years and an extended eight-year licence period, Kamran Hussain, 29, of Keighley – five years, Imran Sabir, 42, of Keighley – 12 years, Hasan Basharat, 32, of Keighley – 12 years and Baber Hussain, 36, of Bradford – 13 years.

Two others are yet to be sentenced

The woman – who was raped by multiple men– said she hoped the convictions and sentences would help other survivors of child sexual exploitation to come forward.

Prosecutors said the girl was driven to parks, flats, and isolated places where she was raped by the men.

In a statement issued through West Yorkshire Police on Friday, the woman said: “The driving force for me to keep going through all of this was so that it prevents it from happening to other people, and also it might help other people come forward.”
Ed Hulbert, from the CPS, said: “These eight men cynically manipulated and ruthlessly exploited a young and vulnerable girl. “They plied her with drugs and alcohol and abused her systematically and repeatedly. They raped her when she was alone and unprotected. “They are now facing lengthy prison sentences. “The victim has displayed immense courage and resilience in reporting these crimes and helping us to build a robust case to put before a jury. Our thoughts remain with her
