Shelby Shubble stated that Wilbur Soot bit her without her consent and that the situation escalated to the point where she had bruises "all over" her arms. She stated:
"His biting escalated to a point where I was covered in bruises all over my arms. And they hurt, and he would poke at them for fun. And he even felt so comfortable showing off my bruises that he had caused to our friends because he would bite me so hard by accident. 'By accident.'"
