A man in Wisconsin faces charges after he reportedly raped his ex-girlfriend and subsequently attacked her with a hatchet, stating, “I’m going to prison anyway.”

According to a criminal complaint, 34-year-old Hayden Daffinson visited the woman’s residence on Sunday to collect his belongings after their breakup, as reported by WLUK.

The Fond du Lac Police reported that the 38-year-old victim called them shortly before 3 p.m., stating she had been attacked with an axe. Officers provided assistance until Fire Rescue transported her to St. Agnes Hospital, from which she was air-lifted to Theda Medical Center in Neenah and underwent extensive surgery.

By Sunday evening, she was listed in stable condition.

The complaint said Daffinson struck the victim at least 25 times with the hatchet, causing significant injuries on her back, hands, arms, and head. She suffered two broken arms and skull fractures and will likely have a finger amputated, the document says.

“Victim 1 advised that Daffinson was mad at her because she broke the relationship off but did not think he would do something like this to her,” according to the complaint.

After the rape, the document says, Daffinson told the woman, “F*** it, I’m just going to kill you, because I’m going to prison anyway.”

Duffinson was eventually located at about 7 p.m. near Germantown and was arrested after leading police on a chase at speeds up to 110 mph, the criminal complaint said.

Daffinson has been charged with attempted murder and seven other counts, including sexual assault and mayhem.

He appeared in court on Wednesday and was given a $5 million bond, with a preliminary hearing set for July 31. Officials said additional charges are anticipated.
