CHARLOTTE, N.C. Apr 1, 2006 (AP)— Three men have been arrested on charges
of performing castrations on apparently willing participants in a
sadomasochistic "dungeon" in a rural house, authorities said Friday.

"It's extremely bizarre," District Attorney Michael Bonfoey said in a
telephone interview. "It's incredible the amount of ways that people can
find to run afoul of the law."

Sheriff's investigators said Richard Sciara, 61, Danny Reeves, 49, and
Michael Mendez, 60, admitted performing at least eight surgeries, including
castrations and testicle replacements, on six consenting clients over the
past year. None of the three is licensed to practice medicine, officials
said.

The suspects, all residents of the house in Haywood County, in western
North Carolina, where the surgeries were allegedly performed, were arrested
Thursday. They were being held on $150,000 bond each and could make their
first court appearances Monday, Bonfoey said.

The sheriff's office had investigated reports of sadomasochistic acts at
the house in 2004, but concluded there was nothing illegal going on because
the participants appeared to be willing adults.

Renewed scrutiny, prompted by a citizen who made "strange statements" to
Bonfoey, revealed that illegal surgeries were taking place, the prosecutor
said.

Detectives who searched the home Wednesday found medical supplies that
included scalpels, sutures, bandages, anesthetic and artificial replacement
testicles, sheriff's officials said.

Also seized were videotaping equipment, and video recordings of the
surgeries, sheriff's officials said. Photos and videos made at the
"dungeon" were apparently featured on a locally produced sadomasochistic
Web site, officials said.

"This right here beats anything I have ever seen," Sheriff Tom Alexander
told the Asheville Citizen-Times, which reported that victims may have come
from as far away as South America.

Each man faces 10 felony counts five each of castration without malice and
conspiracy to commit castration without malice as well as eight misdemeanor
counts of performing medical acts without a license. Each felony carries a
maximum three years and three months in prison, Bonfoey said.

"Assuming that the victims consented to this and we don't know that for
sure yet that doesn't make it a defense," Bonfoey said. "We can't have
people who are not medical doctors lopping off limbs and other body parts."

That is one crime that I never thought I would hear of. I mean who in his right mind would allow this without malice?

After reading this my testicles are hiding up around my widom teeth.


Ouch!

"castration without malice"

I believe they wrote that law yesterday.

Can I sue my ex for "emotional castration with malice"?

I saw that story last week on CNN.

You should take a look at these characters:

The thing that always amazes me in these types of stories is how do these people get together in the first place?

Is there a support group for this sort of thing?
Do you just bring it up to the guy sitting next to you at the bar?
Do they have a website?

Uncle Wit,



you need to get out more...

Ogling latinas at your local Atlanta Walmart has to be more fun/less disturbing than the sludge CNN dredges up.
