Girlfriend accused of mutilation

A north Harris County woman was on the run Friday, accused of cutting off her boyfriend's penis with a kitchen knife while he was sleeping, sheriff's detectives said.

The severed organ has not been found since the attack about 11 a.m. Thursday at the woman's home in the area of West Mount Houston and Airline.

The victim, 33, is in Ben Taub General Hospital and is expected to survive. Eighty percent of his penis was severed, detectives said.

The Harris County Sheriff's Department declined to release the couple's names because the woman has not been charged. Detectives expect to charge her with aggravated assault this weekend, after they are able to interview the victim. The man was heavily medicated Friday, recovering from surgery.

The woman, 45, told detectives she cut the man because he had been unfaithful in the past and had physically abused her.

Man on probation Detectives confirmed the man was on probation for assaulting the woman last year and found a court order prohibiting him from going near her.

But he was not abusing her when the attack occurred, sheriff's Lt. Ruben Diaz said.

Despite the court order, the woman invited the boyfriend to her home Thursday, claiming she wanted to borrow his truck, Diaz said. The man works a night shift, and after he arrived, went to bed.

"There was no argument," Diaz said. Later in the morning, the victim was awakened by a sharp pain.

"He sees the bed full of blood, he immediately looks down and knows what's going on," Diaz said. "She's standing in the room. She's still there, staring at him."

The woman's sister and 22-year-old daughter heard the man's screams, ran into the room and saw the blood, detectives said. They drove him to Doctors Hospital Parkway in the 200 block of West Parker Road near the North Freeway. The woman with the knife refused to help them, Diaz said.

Because that hospital did not have the facilities to treat such a severe injury, the victim was moved to Ben Taub, where his condition was then stabilized, Diaz said.

The woman later spoke with detectives after her daughter reached her on a cellular phone. She refused to come back to the house, Diaz said.

"She claims once they loaded him up, she goes out on the back porch and throws the part away, but doesn't really say what happened to it. We can't find it anywhere," Diaz said.

Deputies searched for the penis for hours after the woman's daughter and sister gave them permission to look around the house. Also missing is the knife, which the woman told investigators she dumped while walking toward Little York.

"Whether those two scenarios are factual, we're still trying to determine," Diaz said.

The couple had lived together in the United States for about four years, but are not believed to be legally married, Diaz said. Detectives say she still is married to another man in her homeland of El Salvador, where she makes frequent visits. They said she may be headed there. Authorities have found no evidence the woman has a criminal record.

Bobbitt case recalled The incident is reminiscent of the John and Lorena Bobbitt case, which captured national attention and was the subject of tabloid newspapers and late night talk show humor in 1993.

Lorena Bobbitt, an immigrant from Venezuela, cut off her husband's penis as he slept, then threw it out a car window as she fled their Manassas, Va., home. Police later found the severed part, which was surgically reattached. Lorena Bobbitt, who claimed her husband had abused her, later was found not guilty by reason of insanity.

"There's a difference between this and the Bobbitt case — the part cannot be found," Diaz said Friday.

Cringing.......

[SheLion]

OUCH!

I feel men cringing everywhere.

I know, I know - compassion, and all that...but...

Doncha just know some wandering armadillo is still smacking his lips over the fresh vienna sausage snack he just happened upon?

This is rich!

Let the fun begin!

...there are some things even more fearful than a Kerry victory....

[ImProudToBeAnAmerican]

Severed - flushed.

[GOP_Proud]

You can uncross your legs now guys.

[bandleader]

"HELL HATH NO FURY LIKE................."Now he REALLY does have a"Pocket-Rocket"!!!

[dagoofyfoot]

THIS is why I always sleep on my stomach!

[wimpycat]

What I don't understand is how a man can wake up and find his penis already gone. She must have had a really sharp knife and a quick hand to cut it off in one stroke. But she still had to, you know, take hold of it and...I dunno, prepare to make the cut somehow. How many men would sleep through somebody fiddling around down there? Was he passed out drunk or drugged? I just don't understand how a man can sleep through having his penis cut off, and the way this story is written that's what happened.

And another thing. Anyone dating or married to a woman from Central/South America ought to collectively squeeze their knees together in a protective gesture. Lorena Bobbitt was from Latin America, too. If you're currently fooling around, watch out for your boys, boys! Wear an athletic cup to bed or something.

[RGSpincich]

Please don't post these stories.

Sleepless in .....

[nomad]

I hope he gets to her and does a Jack the Ripper on her, see if she likes having her genitals cut out.

[Dallas59]

Interesting life a head of him now.....

Tis plot will definitely make CSI next season.. If it's CSI/Las Vaegas..a cocktail waitress did the deed.<{P> If it's CSI/Miami, it'll be a baby alligator

If it's CSI/NY, it'll be a female chef at a sushi bar..

[Dallas59]

He'll never be able to pass by this in store again...

[ImProudToBeAnAmerican]

Poor guy, he'll be the (b)runt of people's jokes forever...

"Here comes stumpy!"

[wimpycat]

Oooh. Taking it personally, are you?

[slouch-no-more]

I guess that's one way to "get a head".

[Tacis]

If we are talking about unauthorized visitors from our southern neighbor, I'm betting some of Edwards friends are already circling waiting to talk to him about suing some branch of the US government on the grounds that, had they done their job, Pancho would still have his gephardt.

I'm waiting for CSI/DC.....

I hope they have no mercy on her. Yeah we all cringe, ouch,ouch, but she has mutilated and changed someone for life.

She's a lying hypocrite. She cuts off some guy's penis, changing his life drastically forever for cheating on her when she's not even married to him and is cheating on her husband in El Salvador?????

So all the women out there thinking this is 'revenge' of some type think this is allowable, wink/wink/yuck/yuck/Thelma-&-Louise and yet rage that the clitoral-burning in the Islamic world doesn't stem from similar vengeful want of control?

I'm not trying to start a feud here, it's just that every time I read one of these stories, seems like it's a (boy was he a dope for gettin' involved with her...). What if we heard the roles and vengence reversed? We'd be rightfully outraged.

Why didn't she walk out the door when it first happened?

CSI is taking over the air waves. LOL! It's a CSI Take Over!

"The couple had lived together in the United States for about four years, but are not believed to be legally married, Diaz said. Detectives say she still is married to another man in her homeland of El Salvador, where she makes frequent visits."

Another case of illegals doing the jobs that Americans won't do. < /sarcasm >

[sweetliberty]

"Doncha just know some wandering armadillo is still smacking his lips over the fresh vienna sausage snack he just happened upon?"

OMG! ROTFL!

Actually, I was thinking "garbage disposal."

[No Blue States]

"The woman, 45, told detectives she cut the man because he had been unfaithful in the past and had physically abused her."

So get a divorce. This sick B deserves the DP imo.

[sweetliberty]

These weird kind of threads always make me thingk of y'all. LOL!

[Mr Ramsbotham]

It won't be long now ....

[No Blue States]

OUCH!!!!!!

[sweetliberty]

Looks like John Edwards woke up and looked in the mirror before his makeup artist/stylist prepared him.

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

And when his other girlfriends call him "Shorty" We will know why!

[sweetliberty]

"she still is married to another man in her homeland of El Salvador"

The irony is that she claimed one of the reasons she did it was because he had been unfaithful to her. Perhaps she "forgot" that she had a husband in El Salvador. < /sarcas, >

[MaryFromMichigan]

Considering the topic, that is one picture I hope doesn't get photoshopped.

[No Blue States]

lol!

I figured he slept in front of the mirror so as not to miss an opportunity to see himself.

[pyx]

Taking it personally, are you?

Its always interested me, the consistency and the hypocrisy of some women on FR who find it funny and enjoy making jokes or engage in put downs (and very often in packs, gang up on with the help of other women) any male who takes exception to their comments, when a man has his genitals mutilated. Yet these same women are the first to cry foul when such unspeakable deplorable brutality happens to a woman.

[Publius6961]

Nope. No way.
No jokes.
No one liners.
No nothing.

[MrBambaLaMamba]

On the street they calls him 'Nub'.

[visually_augmented]

Isn't is customary when there is a police search for someone/something that a police composite sketch is generated and posted to the public? At least a detailed description with identifying marks?

We must find the missing member!!

[waverna]

...'til he goes off half-cocked again....

[AD from SpringBay]

No matter what, he's just a straw man.

[COBOL2Java]

If the police find it, will there be a little chalk outline on the ground?

[Conspiracy Guy]

Why?

[Publius6961]

Pyx, lighten up. Where's your sense of humor and fair play?

I figure 10 to 1 makes it just about even. Let them pile on. We got us some world class lady teasers in this club anyway.

Dunno....must be carry over from all those ZOT threads.

[dvan]

I'm thinking that this definitely isn't the time to use a "police search dog".

[FITZ]

She's shacked up with some guy --- never bothered to marry him or divorce her husband back home --- they've never taken vows but she figures she can mutilate him for being unfaithful? It's going to take some of us a little time to understand the new culture being imposed on us.

So who is going to pay his hospital bill? Or is this another taxpayer provided freebie for illegals? Very doubtful this guy has bothered to obtain medical insurance.

[Max Combined]

"Very doubtful this guy has bothered to obtain medical insurance."

That is Bush's fault. Kerry would make sure that everyone gets free medical care. /s
