In the city of Mascotte, police say that a young boy helped his pregnant mother fight off a sexual predator.  She allegedly used the broom to hit the man who had straddled his mother and who tried to rip open her shirt.

After being hit with the broom, the sexual assailant left the family's home and police were able to track him down near his residence.  He was arrested and now faces charges of aggravated battery, attempted rape, burglary and child abuse for pushing the boy.

55-year-old Michael Minchey called the victim a "crack whore" and a liar when questioned by police.  He is currently being held on $60,000 bond.

Officers say that Minchey walked into the home uninvited, grabbed a mother from behind and declared "I want some."  The boy had heard his mother struggling and found her fighting the predator on the floor.  The mother managed to knee Minchey in the groin before the son struck him with the broom.
