The teen knocked on the woman's door at about 6:30 a.m., and when she answered, he pushed his way in, police said.
The 33-year-old alleged victim said Miller tackled her, punched her several times, and carried her toward a bedroom. When she kicked him in the groin, the woman said, the suspect told her: "Now you have to die."
He stuck his tongue down her throat and that's when she bit down as hard as she could, until she heard a snapping noise, she told police.
Her attacker ran off, screaming, she said, and she spat his tongue onto the floor.
