Kansas City police are investigating an attack on a 22-year-old woman at a motel over the weekend that left her with the word “Hoe” cut into her chest.

The woman told police she met a man on a phone chat line Saturday and he took her to the Crown Lodge motel at 8500 Blue Parkway. They drank alcohol and she performed oral sex on the man but he wanted intercourse, according to police reports. She refused, they argued and the man left about 7 p.m. with the room key.

The woman continued to drink the rest of the bottle and passed out about 3 a.m. Sunday. She told police she remembered seeing a box cutter in the room.

Sometime after 4 a.m., she woke up, groggy, and saw a man in the room, pacing and calling her a “hoe,” a slang term for whore. She said she didn’t recognize the man and didn’t think it was the man who had brought her to the motel.

She fell back asleep and awoke at 9 a.m., feeling pain to her face and chest. She had a large bump on her forehead and cheek and a large scratch on the other side of her face. The word “hoe” had been etched into her chest near her sternum. The box cutter was gone, she told police.

The victim’s leggings and shirt were also torn. The victim was not sure if she had been raped. Police were waiting for lab results.
