As the fellow’s caddish behavior was the cause of the disturbance, the lady should have been let off with a warning. The man’s parents failed to teach him that good manners allows you to avoid being branded a bad boyfriend.

Caban enlisted new boyfriend Robert Testagrossa to help brand a four-inch-high "R" on Sara's abdomen in October 2006, the prosecutor said. She said Caban lured the former lover to a hotel room, where Testagrossa and another man grabbed him.
I hope she serves the whole five years.

“The man’s parents failed to teach him that good manners allows you to avoid being branded a bad boyfriend.”

LOL. And her parents did a fine job...raised a little slut...with a bit of a sadistic, violent streak.

Caban, a photography student, was allowed to graduate from the School of Visual Arts in Manhattan before going to prison.

Why? Did she take photos?

Anyways, is this what they mean by brand loyalty?

GUILTY.

My, doesn't she look repentent.

And, who knows, in NYC, maybe they talked about how much fun it would be if she branded him, and then he chickened out...

At least she didn't have Rocky Mountain Oysters.

From a NY POST article:

"She flocked to a- - - - - - guys," said the classmate of Caban at the School of Visual Arts in Manhattan. "She's a talented person. She's also a genuine person. For her to do this, she must have been deeply hurt."

She's a genuine sadist. A freak.

There's more.

But a woman who claimed to have been Caban's lesbian lover from 2004 to 2005 painted a different picture of the suspect, saying Caban once violently lashed out at her.

On another occasion, the woman said, a vindictive Caban posted the woman's phone number on the Web, telling "people to call me if they wanted sex."

The woman said Caban - whose Facebook.com page says she is "interested in" both women and men - cheated on her with multiple men.

A sadistic sexual deviant. She should be locked up in a mental institution.

Ok, what does the “R” stand for, anyone? It’s pretty darn clear she put some thought into it.

She planned to brand the word rapist on him.

Couple say don’t brand them guilty

{snip}
The defendants also had wire brands for five other letters for the word “RAPIST,” but fled before using them when the victim screamed.

Yeah, I bet he screamed.

So they didn’t count on someone screaming when they get so burned? In this episode, their stupidity fully equaled their sadistic perversion.

You'd think a pillow or a gag would have been used. I mean , if you're going to get medieval on someone, it should take place in a properly equipped dungeon, not a hotel room.

The woman is the daughter of a retired state correction officer. Her accomplice, Robert Testagrossa, whos father, Charles, is the executive assistant district attorney for major crimes under Queens District Attorney Richard Brown - and his mother, Maria, a lawyer in the Nassau County DA's Office. A real law and order type of guy.

Maybe she wanted him to have a big red R on his body because she was doing a new reality show called “Pimp My Ex Boyfriend.”

However, this isn’t the same as a tattoo one voluntarily gets. The man was assaulted, technically kidnapped, and mutilated. Yes, he still has his limbs and he can function with his shirt on, but he’s going to be reminded of this every day for the rest of his life.

You must prove,

Do you think he learned a lesson.

Intimate relations and crazy people are a bad combination.

Well, the guy’s name is Samir, so if he can squeeze an S A M I in front of the R, he’d look quite avant-garde.

Who's a bigger bad ass, Chuck Connors or Chuck Norris?

From Wikipedia:

Connors also achieved notoriety for an incident on NBC's prime time baseball telecast in the 1970s. The network regularly invited a guest celebrity commentator to join the regular play by play crew in the broadcast booth. Connors accidentally said the "f-word" during the live telecast, stunning both the announcers and national audience.

What the f***, Chuck?
