A man is behind bars accused of cutting his pregnant ex--girlfriend's nipples off with scissors in a horrific revenge attack .
Tony Ledbetter faces multiple counts of aggravated assault after allegedly beating and mutilating his former partner at her home in South Dakota.
The 39--year--old victim, who has not been named for legal reasons, was at the property in Sioux Falls when Ledbetter came over to talk, which led to an argument, police said.
Sioux Falls Police Public Information Officer Sam Clemens told local news station Keloland: "He ended up punching her in the face. Slamming her in the ground."
As she pleaded with him, it is claimed the 45--year--old put his forearm against her neck and a blanket in her mouth.
"The really disturbing part is he went and grabbed some scissors and sat on top of her and used those scissors to cut off her nipples," Clemens told the station.
It is suggested Ledbetter himself called 911.The woman was taken to the hospital.
Ledbetter appeared in court in Lincoln County facing several counts of aggravated assault. His bail was set at $250,000 in cash.
A GoFundMe account has been set up for the victim, who is believed to be pregnant with his child, a post on the site claims.
The baby was not harmed but the victim will need extensive reconstructive surgery
