US woman cuts off husband's penis

LOS ANGELES - A 48-YEAR-OLD Californian woman was arrested for drugging her estranged husband's dinner then cutting off his penis, saying he 'deserved it', police said on Tuesday.

In an incident recalling the infamous 1993 case of John Wayne Bobbitt - who had his penis reattached after a similar event - Catherine Becker was booked for poisoning and assault with a deadly weapon after she tied her husband to the bed on Monday in Garden Grove, south-east of Los Angeles.

The woman, who was in the process of divorcing her 51-year-old husband, called 911 to declare a medical emergency after throwing his severed member in the garbage disposal, said police spokesman Jeff Nightengale.

'Officers arrived and located a male victim tied to the bed and bleeding from his groin area,' he said. 'The female, identified as his wife, had used an unknown type poison and/or drug in the male's food to make him sleepy. She tied him to the bed and as he woke the female cut off his penis with a knife. The female tossed the penis in the garbage disposal and turned the disposal to the 'On' position.'

Despite that, pieces of the severed member were recovered and taken to hospital, although it was not known if surgeons would be able to re-attach them. After arriving at the scene police untied the man, and seized a rope and 24.5cm kitchen knife as evidence. 'The initial investigation determined that the two are married and going through a divorce,' said Mr Nightengale said.

'The suspect made dinner for the victim and the male told detectives that he believed something was wrong with his food. The victim went to lie down, and he woke up tied to the bed with his wife tugging his clothes off. The suspect grabbed the victim's penis and cut it off,' he said, adding that then 'The suspect called 911 and told responding officers that he 'deserved it'.' The woman, who was also booked for aggravated mayhem, false imprisonment, and spousal abuse, was being kept in custody in lieu of US$1 million (S$1.23 million) bail, he added. The man, whose named was not released, underwent emergency surgery and was listed in serious condition, Mr Nightengale said.

Tables turned on Casanova with sex addiction

A 26-YEAR-OLD Casanova is now paying the price for his activities, Metro Ahad reported.

The man, who identified himself as Hisyam, said he had bedded 17 women and even took money from them during the past 11 years.

Mr Hisyam said he had been addicted to sex after he slept with a girl while he was still at school. He claimed that he managed to seduce the women by selling them sob stories about his life, adding that he did not have to work because he received money from them.

'Nearly all of them are either naive, lonely or had been jilted,' he told the paper. Mr Hisyam said he began to have strange dreams and felt scared for no reason recently.

'I learnt later that one of my victims had engaged a bomoh to put a spell on me,' he claimed.

Mr Hisyam, who feels remorseful for his actions, said he wanted to settle down and have a family.

Man who had sex in his sleep cleared of rape

A man accused of raping a teenager was freed yesterday after a jury decided he was asleep at the time of the alleged offence. Stephen Lee Davies, 43, claimed he suffered from sexsomnia — the ability to have intercourse while asleep — and had no recollection of the encounter with the 16-year-old student.

The girl had been staying at Mr Davies’s home in Swansea when she became ill and was told to share his bed because his room was cooler.

She said she awoke in the night to find him having intercourse with her.

Mr Davies, a painter and decorator who represents Wales at sea angling, claimed he only realised something was wrong when he sent the teenager a text message the next day and she replied: “Go to hell, you dirty b------.”

During his trial at Swansea Crown Court, Mr Davies’s former wife, Angela, told the jury that he would often become aroused in the middle of the night.

“He was never violent and never forced me to have sex against my will. Sometimes his eyes were open but there was no one at home,” she said. She added: “It became a bit of a joke. I would say I must be pretty rubbish because he could not remember. Even if his eyes were open he would not remember.”

Another former partner said she could have entire conversations with him, as well as full sexual intercourse, without him waking up.

Dr Chris Idzikowski, the director of the Edinburgh Sleep Centre and founder of the British Sleep Society, told the court that Mr Davies showed all the signs of suffering from sexsomnia.

“It affects mainly men who are deep sleepers. It can involve almost any sort of sexual activity and could go on for 20 or 30 minutes,” he said.

Judge Paul Thomas thanked the jury for dealing with “a particularly difficult case”.

Martial arts instructor to get jail, caning for sex with girl, 13

A martial arts instructor, 46, who had sex with his then 13-year-old student was sentenced to 11 years' jail and 12 strokes of the cane on Monday.

In sentencing, Justice Lee Seiu Kin said he took into account that the girl was a willing party and that the accused was a much older man who was placed in a position of trust.

The married father of two, who cannot be named to protect the girl's identity, was convicted in May of three counts of statutory rape and four counts of sexual exploitation.

Although no violence was used, the man had abused his position and exploited the girl, said the judge in handing down a jail term of 10 years as well as four strokes of the cane on each of the statutory rape charges. On the four charges of sexual exploitation, Justice Lee handed down between six months to two years' jail.

He ordered the jail term for one charge of statutory rape to run consecutively with a one-year term for sexual exploitation, making a total of 11 years in jail.

The man has filed an appeal against his conviction and is out on bail pending the appeal hearing.


Background:

The man was 41 years old when he asked her to be his girlfriend; they became intimate and had sex in his car. They called each other lao gong (husband in Mandarin) and lao po (wife) in their text messages and online chats. The sexual offences, which took place between February and May 2007, came to light when the girl was questioned by school officials about their relationship. Her mother went to the police.
