SAN CLEMENTE (CBS) — Authorities Monday announced the arrest of an 18-year-old man accused of attacking a San Clemente woman in her home over the weekend.

The attack occurred about 9:45 p.m. Sunday in the 300 block of Cazador Lane, Jim Amormino of the Orange County Sheriff’s Department said.

Jonathan Aikin was booked on suspicion of sexual battery, being under the influence of a controlled substance, burglary and child endangering, Amormino said. His bail was set at $100,000.

Amormino said 18-year-old Aikin allegedly entered the woman’s home — where she was sleeping with her two young children — and attempted to strangle her.

The woman screamed and her 5-year-old son jumped on the suspect’s back, Amormino said. She tried to call 911 but the man pulled the phone from her, Amormino added.

Meanwhile, neighbors called 911 and a neighbor, a Marine stationed at Camp Pendleton, “came to her rescue,” Amormino said.

The Marine was struggling with the suspect when deputies arrived. They zapped the intruder with a Taser and took him into custody.

Amormino said the victim and her son were treated for cuts and bruises.

    way to go little man!

  • Abs

    WH Jones – are you pendejo? It says his last name is Aikin – that DOES NOT sound Mexican to me.

  • Ramalamma

    Really? Last I checked a name like Jonathan Ashton Aikin wasn’t really a common name in the Mexico Yellow Pages…..stupid thing to say…

    Glad no one was seriously hurt, but man did my mouth drop open when I heard that little 5 yr old boy jumped on the attacker’s back! That’s amazing! How protective!

  • Regg

    Getting your ass whooped by a 5 year old and a Marine…..priceless!!!!

  • omar

    It just brings tears to my eyes,and thank the neighbors too.

  • CAB

    The 5 year old must have just finished drinking a can of WHOOP ASS!!!

  • Riffer

    Aikin is traditionally a Scottish or Irish name…Moron!

  • WorkingWithKnives

    From the mugshot, looks like the 5 year old kid kicked his ass.

  • Jeezus

    Love that pic of a criminal beat up. doesn’t beat those russian or middle eastern and asian country street justice videos, he’s lucky he’s in america’s justice system or that marine woulda raped him a new beginning. but it’s great to see the perp in this case caught in the act, and at the hands of the son and neighbor, and to see his face nicely beaten is a good feeling for the good team. i saw that pic and couldn’t wait to hear what beat his face in. Great read. thanks for filtering this story to my computer. keep em comin.

  • J@IL hOuSe rOcK

    Maybe someone in prison can sexually assault him…LOL!

  • ROY

    Look at the guy and consider his crime. Since he doesn’t have a Mexican last name, his mom must be Mexican.

    • Roys moms gardener

      Roy, you mom liked it too

    • LuvLeeRita

      Roy is a lonely person who needs attention negative or positive. Looks like we’re providing it for him.

  • Gladiwasntbeatupbya5yearold

    He looks like he has some pretty lips, he’ll be liked in prison, as if the beating of the 5 year old wasn’t enough.

  • anonymous

    Crazy story. You couldn’t write this stuff. The 5 year old kid is a stud for trying to protect his mom. You either have it in you or you don’t. Luckily for the woman, both her son and her neighbor have it in them.
