(WWJ) An 18-year-old Illinois man has been charged in the alleged stabbing of a young Oakland County girl after she refused to have sex with him.
Julian Antonio Pinedo was arraigned on one count of assault with intent to murder, appearing before a judge in 52-2nd District Court Friday morning.
According to the Oakland County Sheriff's Office, deputies responded to a home in Springfield Township early Wednesday morning where they found a 14-year-old girl who had been stabbed multiple times in her back and midsection.
The girl explained that when Pinedo, whom she'd met social media, arrived at her Springfield Township home he got angry when she wouldn't have sex with him.
He then stabbed her multiple times with an 8-inch knife it's alleged that he bought in White Lake Township on the way to her house.
The victim's parents were not home at the time of the stabbing, and the victim's younger sibling was sleeping, investigators said. After the attack, the teen called her parents who rushed home and called 911.
Pinedo fled the scene, but later called 911 in Waterford Township and was taken into custody without incident.
Officials said the victim remained hospitalized on Friday, listed in critical but stable condition.
According to sheriff's office investigator's, Pinedo confessed to stabbing the girl when questioned about what had happened.
He remains behind bars on a $2 million bond.
