The young girlfriend of a Filipino energy honcho told jurors he had a biting fetish — and wouldn’t stop chomping on her even after she told him it hurt.
“He asked me whether I didn’t like his biting, so I told him I didn’t,” said the 25-year-old woman, who spoke through a Korean interpreter, at her ex-beau Terence Tang’s sex abuse trial in Manhattan Supreme Court.
Tang, 37, didn’t take no for an answer and on Oct. 26, 2017, he bit her thigh after she had performed oral sex on him.
She told him to stop and showed him a nasty bruise on her right arm, where he had done some prior gnawing.
“You do this, I get bruises like this. If you know this, why are you doing this again?” she asked.
His callous response was to munch the same region yet again, she said.
“It hurt so much that I cried,” she recalled. “I screamed out while I was crying, ‘Don’t do it!”
He then greedily chomped on her hip, leaving an angry red circle with teeth imprints, a photo of which was shown to jurors.
He previously told her that if he didn’t bite her, it would mean he didn’t love her, she said.
During defense lawyer Todd Spodek’s lengthy cross, the victim admitted that from the beginning of the relationship Tang repeatedly sent her messages on WhatsApp fantasizing about biting her. In one reply, she responded with the Korean equivalent of LOL.
The couple, who met in Vancouver just three months prior to the alleged attack, had flown to New York for vacation.
They went out drinking with friends on the Upper East Side and had returned to their Airbnb on W. 46th St, where they argued over the non-consensual bite.
The evening rapidly deteriorated from there. Tang allegedly held her down and inserted his fingers inside her.
“I tried to push him away,” she recalled, her eyes welling up. “Then he climbed on top of me and started strangling me.”
She shoved him off of her, fled to the bathroom and messaged a friend, “Save me, please save me!”
Cops showed up and slapped Tang in cuffs.
Tang, the CEO of Tang International Enterprises, is charged with sex abuse, assault and obstruction of breathing. If convicted, he faces up to seven years in prison.
