A pregnant mother is thankful her baby was not hurt when a stranger brutally attacked her in her Lee’s Summit neighborhood.
She said she did everything she could to protect her unborn child as the man punched and kicked her. She is due to give birth to the child this week.
The mother, Cheryl Christensen, agreed to tell her story if KCTV5 focused on the good that came after the vicious attack. She says her neighbors, church community and police did everything they could to help her family after she was violently assaulted.
“I hunched over so that he wouldn’t be able to aim at my belly,” Christensen said as she described the attack. “The first hit. He knocked out my eyesight. From the first blow it was really, really violent. Very painful.”
Christensen says the attack happened on Dec. 13 when she went to check her mail. She saw a man urinating in public near her duplex where kids play and families park their cars.
“I told him to use a bathroom because that is what they are for,” Christensen said.
Police say Winzell E. Starr didn’t like Christensen’s scolding and rushed toward her. She told him she was seven months pregnant and tried to push him away from her belly. Police say that’s when Starr began punching and kicking her. Christensen screamed for help. As she took blow after blow, she made sure to protect her unborn baby.
“As soon as the ambulance guys showed up I said, ‘make sure my baby is OK,'” Christensen said.
Less than two days after the assault police say Starr posted photos to Instagram and Facebook showing scratches on his hands, face and dried blood on his jeans. Those photos could be used as evidence in the case.
Prosecutors say Starr broke Christensen’s nose in two places. Swelling from the beating caused temporary hearing loss and severe bruising.
“My children were terrified. The first time they saw me they ran from the room crying because I looked so horrible,” Christensen said.
She had to get several stitches in her forehead.
Lee’s Summit police not only investigated the case, they also offered to help Christensen’s family.
“They spoiled our family for Christmas which was very, very sweet,” she said. “We got a lot of things we needed for the baby from them.”
She says she and her family want to thank the men and women of the Lee’s Summit Police Department who worked tirelessly to make an arrest in the case. Christensen says they went above and beyond the call of duty for her family.
Starr was on probation for felony drug possession, unlawful use of a weapon and felony DWI. His probation is now revoked. He is charged with first-degree felony assault. He’s being held without bond.
