Ohio man accused of setting his dad’s girlfriend on fire: report

A 23-year-old man is accused of severely beating his dad’s girlfriend before setting her on fire inside their Ohio house Thursday, according to a report.

Robbi Robinson, Jr. was charged by Fairfield Township police with aggravated arson and felonious assault in connection with the heinous attack.

Disturbing police body camera footage obtained by WLWT captures the burned woman begging for help and gasping for air.

“I can’t breathe! My inhaler’s in the house … I can’t breathe, he knocked my teeth out,” the 50-year-old woman, who has not been named, can be heard desperately pleading.

The woman, who is dating Robinson’s father, told officers the young man beat her before dousing her with gasoline and throwing a flame at her.

She jumped out the second-floor window in an effort to escape.

The woman was airlifted to the hospital with second-degree burns covering half her body and was placed into a coma.

In the footage, Robinson can be heard repeatedly proclaiming his innocence and shock that his father’s girlfriend was injured so badly.

“I don’t know what happened. It just went off,” said Robinson, who was seen wearing a winter jacket despite temperatures reaching 80 degrees that day.

When arresting officers told Robinson the woman he referred to as his stepmother jumped into the backyard, he appeared stunned: “Oh, she did?”

Robinson’s neighbor, Dennis Williams, told the outlet he was the first to call 911 after his frantically barking dogs led him to the dramatically wounded woman.

“I see one of my neighbors laying in the grass, and she looked like she was covered in dust. So I come running over, and her immediate action was, ‘He set me on fire,’” Williams said.

Robinson’s motives for the gruesome attack are still unclear.

He is being held at the Butler County Jail on a $200,000 bond.
