‘I was in extreme pain, and when I tried to get up I couldn’t stand’

October 17, 2007

Bond hearing set for KU student charged in brutal attack

A bond hearing is set for a KU student charged in connection with a brutal attack on a 22-year-old Lawrence woman. The charges stem from what prosecutors have called a 'horrific attack' during the early morning hours last Tuesday at the Northwinds Apartments. Enlarge video

Lying in a hospital bed, recovering from one surgery and awaiting another, a 22-year-old victim of a brutal attack filled out paperwork seeking a restraining order against her ex-boyfriend.

In that application, she described the attack. "I was in extreme pain, and when I tried to get up I couldn't stand," the Lawrence woman wrote in the application for a protection from abuse order filed in Douglas County District Court.

The woman's narrative of an Oct. 9 attack led a judge to order Matthew Jaeger, 22, a Kansas University senior from suburban Chicago, to have no contact with the woman. Jaeger, who is being held in the Douglas County Jail, faces charges of aggravated kidnapping, aggravated battery and aggravated burglary in connection with the attack. He also is charged with making criminal threats against another man. Prosecutors have refused to provide details about the criminal threat charges.

On Friday, Jaeger's attorney, Carl Cornwell, will seek a reduction in his client's $850,000 bond.

The case centers on what prosecutors have called "a horrific attack" on Jaeger's ex-girlfriend during the early-morning hours of Oct. 9.

Lawrence police have declined to release any information about the incident, but the victim described the attack in detail in her application for the restraining order.

According to that document, the victim and Jaeger were involved in a one-year relationship that ended in May 2007. During at least part of that time, the two lived together.

She offered this description of what happened Oct. 9:

She said Jaeger broke out a window of her second-floor apartment about 1 a.m. Once inside, she said, Jaeger punched her in the head, knocking her out. She awoke, covered in blood with injuries to her vaginal area.

She said she was forced into a car that Jaeger's friend was driving, and at that point she thought her life was in danger.

"I started screaming as loud as I could in the hopes that someone would save me," she wrote in the application.

She said Jaeger pushed her into the backseat of his car, and he got in with her. A friend of his was driving.

"I begged the driver to take me to the hospital, but he ignored me," she wrote.

Police eventually pulled the vehicle over, and the woman was taken by ambulance to Lawrence Memorial Hospital, where she remained on Tuesday. She has had at least two surgeries in the past week.

During his first court appearance, Jaeger told the judge: "I think a lot of this could just be a big misunderstanding."

And his father, Jerry Jaeger, said the case against his son was an exaggeration.

"It's almost mind-boggling to me," Jerry Jaeger said in a telephone conversation from his Chicago real estate office. He said he could not elaborate.

He did tell reporters in Chicago that his son found the victim in the condition she was in - after she had been with another man. Jerry Jaeger said his son was taking her to the hospital when police pulled him over.

Jerry Jaeger referred all further questions to his son's attorney, who has not returned repeated calls.

He says he found her in this terrible condition and but didn't immediately call 911? This brutal attack is so “exaggerated” that she is still awaiting a second surgery? It's hard to believe that he isn't being charged with attempted murder.

wow. in her complaint for an order for protection, the victim describes Matt Jaeger as coming into her room and knocking her unconscious then, waking up, with vaginal trauma and being shoved into a car, driven around and not taken to a hospital until the police eventually pulled the vehicle over. Now, given that we don't know all the facts based upon that document, here is what we do know:
1. even if he did find her, he did NOT call 911, but, somehow, called (or had) a friend along with him?
2. the police felt it necessary to pull him over, thus, it does not appear that he drove her straight to the hospital.
3. Dad hired Carl Cornwell. He's not playing around.
And, for this dad to say that the girl was with another guy before his son found her is just totally classless and just plain gross. IF that is the case, then let that come out in the investigation and trial and not in the media. It makes you, Dad, look like an idiot (would use stronger word, but . .) and it is completely obvious where your son gets his *respect* (cough, cough) for women.

The whole “they were driving her to the hospital” defense is so full of holes it's ridiculous. The emergency room is MAYBE two minutes away from this apartment complex. It's hard to believe that they cops were called, and were able to pull them over before they got to the emergency room. It just doesn't add up.

It's hard to post something constructive at a time like this. All I can think is how easy it is to hate this guy and wish some genital trauma would happen to him. Either this girl is part of some twisted form of “Fight Club”, or this guy committed an extreme atrocity. First offense or not, he's going to go to JAIL.

I'm also quite tempted to blame the dad. A kid doesn't just wake up one day with that much rage. Someone's gotta help you get it.

I feel sorry for the guy. There is no way you can do something so heinous without some profound pain in your life. And, his pain is just about to get worse.

Obviously, the entire story has not yet come out, however, its becoming apparent that this is a case of a rich kid that's been given everything his whole life. Including an attitude that “I can do anything I want regardles of the law”. Daddy isn't going to believe his little boy could be guilty of anything; rich folks are never guilt.

Here's hoping that a jury of 12 men/women from the midwest can give him what he deserves. Let Bubba in the big house teach him a thing or two or twenty.

From Northwinds, he could have picked her up and carried her to the emergency room in about 2 minutes.

But, you know, with all the horror stories that come out of LMH, maybe they were going to drive her to Overland Park!

It would be interesting to know where exactly the vehicle was pulled over. Earlier reporting indicated it was the area of “north sixth street.” That reporting also indicated “several” weapons were found inside the vehicle, including an axe and a knife.

Finally, the reporting indicated police were responding to a disturbance in the area of the apartment complex at approximately 1:25 am.

Mr. Jaeger(Daddy) You are not considered as being a human being. The only difference between a human being and a non human is compassion. That sets us apart> You and your non-human violent disgrace of a son should both go to prison for life and be tortured until your dying day! You are both far from being human beings. You are making yourselves look ridiculous and you are only trying to safe face to protect your business. Which by the way just got millions of dollars worth of advertisement. Not good advertisement but BAD advertisement. I am a real estate advertising agent from the Chicago area. I am definitely going to give you Millions, upon Millions of advertisement since you can't see this violent act of crime for what it really is, and I don't even have to lie or exaggerate because I could never make anything up that is a horrific as what the son you raised did. Let this be a lesson Daddy, you obviously were raised innappropriately yourself. If I were your wife I would leave you and clean out your bank account so you can't bail out little Hitler!The only exaggeration here Daddy is your insane stupidity, along with your attorney Mr. Cornwell. He will loose a lot of business, just like you for representing a wild, violent animal–- your son! Nobody has any respect for any of you, and Daddy do you really want your son to be a free man? How long do you think he will last on the streets? Use better judgment and save some face, your businesses and $850,000.00. quit slithering on the ground and face the truth. Be a man for once. Well I need to get started on all that free advertisement i promise you are going to be geting. Lets see how many houses you are going to sell now. But I guess there is always Brazile!!!!!! LOL

The sad thing is that they will make him out to be the victim, not her. They're already trying to discredit her by saying that she had slept with another guy before, as if he was the rescuer and she was just the sl*t. Her injuries are only the beginning of this nightmare because his lawyer is going to rake her over the coals, even though he is the one with the history of violence.

If he's truly innocent, then I certainly hope the one-armed man is found soon to vindicate him. I have a really hard time believing this isn't what it looks like, though.

I'm appalled by his actions, and almost as appalled by his belief that he can get away with this crap. It sickens me that someone could decide that another person 'belonged' to him to the extent of assault.

If you read the subtext there, it sure looks like he beat her because he found out she had been with another man. In his eyes, how dare she share what's rightfully his without his consent? The 'misunderstanding' probably relates to his belief that he had any say in her life or right to be upset at anything she chose to do.

If he 'found her like that', what was he doing coming into his ex-girlfriend's apartment at 1am? If she was in that bad a shape, she couldn't have let him in; did he have a key? If she's filling out a restraining order, it suggests she didn't invite him over and leave the door open when she went to bed, so did he just come over, get a feel from his spidey-sense that something was wrong, and enter uninvited to effect a miraculous rescue she now 'misunderstands'? That doesn't add up for me. I'm not certain which size unit she was in, but all the bedroom windows for the 2-bedroom places in Northwinds are on the back and the side of the building. In most of the units, the window you can see from the door goes into the living room or the kitchen/dining area. It's not like he could have come over, knocked, and been able to see her through a window to realize she needed help. I'd be interested to hear his explanation for that, as well as why he didn't call an ambulance for her.

OldEnuf, regrettably I have to disagree with your assertion that brutality like this requires a trauma. Unfortunately, some people just grow up thinking that the people they love 'belong' to them, that they have a right to ruin someone for leaving, to “keep what's theirs” and hold on to what they want whether it wants to be held or not. It doesn't require any upsetting event for someone to decide, “I love that person, so she has no right to refuse my love and slut around with someone else (even if it's been months or years since she acknowledged my existence) because if I love her, it's only right that she loves me back. She OWES it to me.” It's a certain sort of brokenness in the head that comes from never getting firmly and soundly told that what other people want is just as important as what you want.

I've been stalked (almost to the point of restraining orders), and one of my parents has been stalked (well past the point of restraining orders and into assault charges), and quite a few of my friends (male and female both) have had trouble with obsessive boyfriends or girlfriends who insisted that a relationship somehow conveyed ownership of one another. It's a lot more common than it should be.

Marypoppins (9:39 post), you should be ashamed. Of all the boneheaded things for a woman to say, what makes you think that letting women know there is a Protection from Harm order is a bad thing! Good God, woman, you should be ecstatic that more women now know about this order rather than debunking a reporter for reporting the horror that occurred because the order was not in place. Even if the order had been in place and the attack occurred, the charges leveled against this man (?) could have been even morre harsh. Get it together, lady: she is one of your own and you should apologize to all women for your thoughtless comments.

Then by the time they graduate High School. They should be a Black Belt. This should be a requirement everywhere for everyone. The Government is so interested in keeping our kids safe, Well they fail to recognize there are kids out there in abusive homes, watching their mothers get abused by their fathers/boyfriends etc. And to me that seems like way more damaging than anything on tv.

If the public wants an education, of what it is like to be abused, then go to seek shelter. I would advise all the women out there who think that this is not a big problem,or their problem. To go volunteer or work in a shelter for at least a month. I guarantee either you will wake up and learn something. Or you will be an outcast. Because it is a reality check. I was an abuse victim for years. I put my ex in Jail 11 times in 2 counties. Then finally left him for good. Then I Went to shelter in another state. Moved on and became a volunteer then a worker in a KC shelter. I have been on both sides of the fence. And have seen a lot of cases. Yes their is a point where a women denies anything that has happend. Or wants to sweep it under the rug and forget it ever happend. It is time for this country to get rid of that 1950's thinking pattern, take action now. Remove the person who is abusing their partner. Put them in jail and let them become a outcast to society as this case is being tried. Put a “I'm a Batterer” Tag on their car. Whatever it takes to let everyone know exactly what kind of person they live next to etc. It is time for everyone to wake up and realize that not everyone in the neighborhood is a “Nice Person.” And if they come off as “too nice.” Have them checked out in the system.” Remember the movies on Life Time Network, where the woman would bring home a new guy and he would charm the pants off of her family. And treat her and the kids like a slaves. Wake up and realize that some people are good, and some people are not so good. Look for the red flags as soon as they arise. Then do not proceed with the friendship/relationship any further. get out!!! If they can't take the hint. It is stalking. They need to be reported/arrested/convicted etc. Restraining orders do no good. My mother when I was going into shelter told me to come to her house and stay. Yeah that would worked out in a fantasy land considering that my ex knew where she lived and how to get there. Thank gosh I was smart enough to see right through her 1950's thought process and seek shelter. The problem with her I see is that she treats my dad like dirt, and she is the “Head Honcho.” of the house. My dad has always been good to her. And so now I let her know that I do not like how she is to him. I grew up with loving grandparents who were married for 50 years and I never heard them fight. Then I have my parents who are still married for over 40 years. And I always told myself that I wanted an equal partner. Thank gosh after what I went through for years of abuse. Negative Mixed messages from my mother, I was smart enough to move on an find a great partner.

This has nothing to do with foreigners and I sincerely hope this doesn't turn into some sort of rant against immigration. To do so would be total nonsense.

As for Dad, lets see what he says when it is his son's semen in her vagina, when it is his son's blood on her, his son's hair and skin on her and his son's fingerprints on the window.

This is not an misunderstanding.

I hope he gets convicted. The only bad part of this is that the victim is going to have to testify. However, I hope that, given the extreme circumstances, that the judge allows her to testify via t.v. so that she doesn't have to see the bum.

I agree that having a handgun would likely have escalated the violence. The suspect might have taken the gun from her and fired it.

I don't see any reason to believe there was a third party at the scene. Threats against a new boyfriend could have occurred before the assault.

The paper is respecting privacy by not naming the victim.

The commenter who tried to rationalize the attack by saying being young and 'in love' is grounds for abuse sounds like another domestic abuser to me.

'Spyglass's attempts to change the topic to immigrants and crime doesn't surprise me. Some people have a hard time acknowledging most crimes involve people of the same race and class who know each other. Immigrants actually commit fewer crimes than homegrown Americans.

A restraining order is not difficult to obtain if indeed there is cause. Those who cannot get an order signed are usually exagerating the situation or trying to bait the other person into contact. To many times the domestic court is used to harass the other party. Enforcement of the restraining orders is the problem because of this. To often they are only as good as the paper they are written on. Some who like drama will file for restraint on another and waste the time of the police for minor situations. While those who are in consistent distress often cannot get the offender caught. Stalking statutes are ridiculous when applied to serial minded stalkers. There are so many ways to harrass another without meeting the staute. There is a five year limit for protection from abuse in the worst of cases; renewable every year until exhausted. At each renewal the victim must face her/his tormentor in court. After that the victim is fair game with little to no recourse. Police do not like domestic enforcement either. Why would they with emotions being so high in such matters. Too often those who request the orders do not adhere to them anyway. A true waste of the court's time. Tormentors like the one in this article will be back no matter what penalty is given. It is only a matter of time in most cases. Tormentors such as in this case have a keen eye for those they can do harm to and find them quite easily. There are just sick people in the world who choose to and enjoy disrupting the flow of peace. They are serial earth disturbers. I know a few like this. They lack the ability to stop and let sleeping dogs lie, but they will fight with villigence to defend their stand and blame those they lash out at everytime for the acts they themselves have commited. They are convincing liars and manipulators. It is amazing the people who will fall into their web of deceit.

Enforcement of domestic abuse laws has decreased the number of women maimed and killed substantially. Restraining orders at least serve as a warning and allow police to arrest the alleged abuser on sight.

spywell- Are you freaking kidding me!!!!! Do you have any morals or self control????? No I despise what you said because I think you have abused a few females yourself. First of all this maniac is from Chicago, IL. Last time I looked at the globe of the world Chicago was in America! My husband cheated on me when I was younger than this guy. I was devastated and it felt like my whole world had ended. Did I want to cut off his balls???? Sure!!!! Did I want him to go on and have a happy life with someone else after he had abandoned me and our new baby that was on the way? Not at all! But if I had physically mutalated him would that have changed what happend? No. People are always going to hurt other people. Did I physically attack him? NO way! This Jeager freak is a POS! He is emotionally immature and unstable and a harm to anyone around him. Have you done any research on this creap? Obviously not because he beat up another man and went to jail shortly before this horrific incident over something totally unrelated to a love affair gone bad. So your uneducated and ignorant statement of ” I think I know what happened” is all WRONG!!!!! This POS acts on emotions. We all get upset with people all the time, but we can't just go kill them or cut out a body part to get even. How stupid is that! It is all about emotional maturity and being responsible for our actions. There are repercussions for all we do in life— good or bad. He will reap what he sows. What goes around comes around– With or without Daddy's cash flow!!!!!

Etc123435:

My utmost apologies for having an opinion and voicing it. I'm so incredibly sorry that you are offended by what someone else might have to say. If you actually had half a brain, you might have noticed that I said I wasn't defending the guy, rather, holding off screaming like a lunatic that he is guilty. Do all ten fingers point at the suspect? Yes. Does that mean that he is guilty? No.

Wait for the verdict. If he is guilty, then, and only then will I accuse him.

This is one sick individual with a lot of problems, who has no respect for women. I wonder where he gets it from, obviously DADDY. This sick kid and his dad should be in jail for life.

dear Reader or my fellow LJW poster,
If you were wishing to express support for Jaeger's victim, or send something for her comfort and assistance, I now have a way for us to do that.

Send to:

Gadugi Faith Center/Rape victim Survivor service
2518 Ridge ct.
Lawrence, KS 66046

Make your check out to the Gadugi Center, and either in the memo field of the check, or on the envelope, write “Jaeger case” and I am assured every cent
will go to the victim's assistance.

I want to add that this is an appeal organized just by LJW posters, 'theeleventhstephanie' and me. Jaeger's victim represents many unreported victims of
sexual violence who are also assisted by this very good organization. Gadugi Center is looking for additional support. This organization would also benefit
from an unrestricted gift, too if you choose. Mrs. Gnome and I will be enclosing two checks in our envelope, one marked “Jaeger case” and the other unrestricted.

Jaeger's victim certainly deserves all the support we can muster after the things which she has suffered.

I agree with smitty. Where is the follow up? Is this guy still in jail? Is this woman alright and will she be physically all right in the long run. Lets not forget here people we are in Douglas Co. The same County that lets men who are drunk run over and kill people and charges them with misdemeanors and the same county that lets pedophiles and predators go with just a slap on the wrists and some counseling. Although I hope that this woman gets the justice I dont hold my hopes up in this county. We have wonderful officers but the court system here sucks.
