Jealous man bites off ex-girlfriend's nose after she got a job a strip club
A man in Texas has been accused of disfiguring his ex-girlfriend in a horrific attack, allegedly biting off part of her nose after discovering she had been working at a local strip club.
David Morin Jr., 34, was arrested and charged with one count of aggravated assault resulting in serious bodily injury over the alleged attack, which reportedly took place last summer.
Court documents reveal that Morin and his girlfriend had been dating for about seven months but separated two weeks before the domestic violence incident.
After trying to call the victim several times without response, an angry Morin allegedly broke into the victim's apartment by smashing a window and climbing inside.

Domestic abuse incidents happen daily all over the world - this one ended up with a woman being disfigured (Getty Images)It was there he found employment documents indicating that the victim had been working or had applied to work at a local strip club.
The shocking discovery of the documents led to a heated argument between Morin and the victim, which quickly turned violent.
Morin is accused of choking the woman for about 10 seconds before releasing his grip, according to San Antonio NBC affiliate WOAI. The victim tried to escape to the front door, but Morin allegedly grabbed her again and bit her face, tearing off a piece of her nose.
After the attack, Morin reportedly ran away from the scene. The victim was taken to a hospital where she was referred to a plastic surgeon, WOAI reported.
Morin was arrested on Friday and taken to Bexar County Jail where he is being held on a $75,000 bond. His lawyer, Sharon Thorne, has not yet responded to requests for comment on the case.
This isn't Morin's first brush with the law. He was arrested in 2013 and charged with murder, but the case was dismissed when a key witness failed to appear in court, according to San Antonio CBS affiliate KENS.
In 2019, Morin was also arrested for allegedly attacking his pregnant girlfriend, slamming her head against a wall, kicking her, and telling her that he didn't want to have the child with her, WOAI reported.
The victim reportedly told police that the alleged attack came after about a year of dating, during which time Morin would not allow the victim to work or see her friends. He was charged with assault of a pregnant person. Court records show that that case was dismissed over a missing witness.
Unfortunately, at least three women are killed per day in domestic violence situations, according to .
