INDIANAPOLIS -- When Carleigh Hager's live-in boyfriend finally stopped beating her, police say she was covered in blood, her face was fractured and her scalp was cut open down to the skull.

Witnesses told police the argument began at a wedding and turned violent once the couple returned home.
Hager told police she attempted to distance herself from Cameron by going into the back bedroom of the home. But, she said, he followed her and began strangling her.

Hager said she then locked herself in the bathroom – however, she says, Cameron returned and knocked the door open. Then he began beating her repeatedly and attempted to pull her tongue out of her mouth.

Doctors detailed a litany of injuries to Hager, including multiple bite marks on her chest, back, arms and face and a laceration of her forehead that exposed the skull. Her tongue appeared to have been partially ripped, and part of one ear had been bitten off.
Hager's family has created a GoFundMe page to help offset the costs of the medical and therapy bills she faces. As of Wednesday afternoon, the page had already raised more than $10,000.
A Marion County, Indiana judge issued a no-contact order Wednesday between Cameron and Hager.
