(WSB Radio)  An Austell woman is thanking Jesus for saving her from an attacker.

Francesca Cowan tells Channel 2 Action News, 37-year-old Anthony Pruitt came to her home on Winternest Drive and when he tried to kiss her and she refused, he attacked her.

"He put my head in the toilet and flushed the toilet about three times; and then I just said to him, 'In the name of Jesus, stop and he stopped.  He was startled; and I said in the name of Jesus, stop.  I just kept saying it and he finally stopped,'" said Cowan.

Cowan's 16-year-old daughter, who was at home at the time, called police.

Pruitt has been charged with kidnapping, battery, two counts of aggravated assault, and other charges.

  • Jesus
    This is NOT news....many people receive
    the benefits of calling on Jesus for help daily! He told us we can believe this and many of us do! The question
    that begs to be answered is: Did she believe Jesus would help her.. wish the reporter would have asked and printed her answer to that one.

    I'm sorry. I'm sure this was frightening to her, but countless high school freshman endure the same event on a daily basis. I'm glad the teenage daughter was finally able to realize she needed to take some sort of action and call for help after her mother had already handled things herself. Good to know she's around.
