Woman charged with malicious castration

Sat Dec 30, 6:50 AM ET

LILLINGTON, N.C. - A woman attacked a man in his genitals during a Christmas party, injuring him badly enough that he needed 50 stitches, authorities said Friday. Rebecca Arnold Dawson, 34, was charged with malicious castration in a fight early Tuesday at a party hosted by the 38-year-old man's girlfriend, police said.

All three were heavily intoxicated, police Chief Frank Powers said.

Dawson is accused of grabbing the man's genitals. Police said a weapon was not used. He declined to elaborate.

"I believe he needed more than 50 stitches to repair the damage, but he is back home at this point," police Cpl. Brad Stevens said. "All we can tell you is that the injury was done with her hands."

Dawson does not have a listed phone number.

State law describes malicious castration as cutting off, maiming or disfiguring a person's genitals with the intent to hurt or render the victim impotent.

Dawson, who was released Wednesday on $50,000 bond, also was charged with offenses including assault causing serious bodily injury.

The castration arrest was the first of its kind in Lillington, a town of about 3,000 roughly 30 miles south of Raleigh, Powers said.

Ah, but what a legacy I have left behind.

This is one to keep an eye on for the backstory. There's gotta be a novel in there somewhere.

[Dâriûsh]

I really regret having read that.

...definitely not in the Christmas spirit

Isn't that about where the mythical town of Mayberry is supposedly located?

Somebody get Andy, Barney, Aunt Bea & Opie in on this.

On the bright side, the guy can now brag that it took 50 stitches to put Humpty Dumpty back together again.

Somehow I think that is one brag you can do without

[Gregoshi]

Agreed, but I was just trying to erect a pillar of positiveness about this sad affair. One must detach oneself from the bad to see the good.

I fear the victim was detached quite enough from himself.

"The castration arrest was the first of its kind in Lillington, a town of about 3,000 roughly 30 miles south of Raleigh, Powers said."

The real story would have been if it was the second arrest.

"Now entering Lillington, with a 1 in 1500 chance of never entering anywhere else again."

Thats bad. But funny!

[Pannonian]

What puzzles me is how on earth the crime of malicious castration got into the lawbooks. Has this happened before with sufficient frequency to merit such a specific charge? Did the lawmakers thoroughly discuss the matter before passing the law?

[Patriarch of Constantinople]

It's a good bar story.

"I had the wildest night of my life last night!"

"Yeah? Well i had my package grabbed and got 15 stitches."

*laughs*

"Where did everybody go?"

[ajaxfetish]

After reading the description of 'malicious castration,' it sounds like the state needs to make a distinction between 'malicious castration' and 'attempted malicious castration.' I'm left uncertain just how bad to feel for this guy.

Oh, I don't know. If I was making a set of laws entirely from scratch, "malicious castration is absolutely out" would be one of the first.

I've paid hookers to do this to me. I don't see what the big deal is.

You've paid hookers to grab your testes and then detach your scrotal sack from your body, requiring hospitalization and many stitches?

[BigTex]

Hmmm painful.

Still though knowing the wonderful justice system. I'll bet the women gets substantially less of a punishment then the nearly castrated man does.

Bet she doesn't get any conjugal visits though.

I thought it was the victem trying to do this while in recovery

[Yun Dog]

when your GF/wife says "if you ever cheat on me I'll rip your balls off" - they mean it

hell hath no fury......

you better believe it

[Hepcat]

OW! (quite an understatement)

and is it just me or is Arnold a bit of an odd middle name for a women?
