A Florida Man Allegedly Castrated Another Florida Man He Met Online, But It All Went Wrong

[demmiblue]

A Florida man has been arrested for allegedly performing a botched castration surgery on another man he'd met online through a fetish website for eunuchs, authorities said Tuesday.

Gary Van Ryswyk, 74, has been charged with the second-degree felony of practicing medicine without a license resulting in bodily injury, according to the Highlands County Sheriff's Office.

According to an arrest report provided to BuzzFeed News, sheriff's deputies arrived at Van Ryswyk's house in Central Florida just before midnight on Sunday while responding to a 911 hang up call.

"These are pretty routine and deputies respond to many of them per shift," the Sheriff's Office said in Facebook post. "But most of them don’t make the cut when it comes to being memorable."

According to the arrest report, Van Ryswyk told the deputies he had just removed the testicles of a man he'd met on "a website for those that have a fetish for castration."

In Van Ryswyk's guest bedroom, deputies found the 53-year-old man from the Tampa area holding a bloody towel on his groin. His testicles were in a jar by the side of the bed.

4. Like a bad joke

Van Ryswyk allegedly told investigators he and the man had met one week earlier and tried to perform the procedure, but that the man had become aroused and ejaculated while Van Ryswyk tried to sanitize his penis, meaning the surgery had to be delayed.

11. "It all went wrong"

Is there a way for something like this to go right?

12. I believe the first 11 words in the title made the last 5 redundant.

Thanks for the thread demmiblue.

13. Well... no more playing pocket billiards to keep himself entertained if bored.

14. I'm honestly afraid to go to Florida ever again. I worry I'll automatically lose

gray matter the second I cross the state line. Who knew there was a eunuch cult and why do I think they freeze dry the testicles and wear them on a necklace?

[Bayard]

15. How is this a botched castration surgery?

Testicles are in a jar. What's the problem?

[Kali]

22. my thought, too

[underpants]

23. Well this part was kinda half assed

Van Ryswyk was said to have told the man he'd performed castrations on bulls and other animals while living on a farm in his youth. He was also said to have removed one of his own testicles in 2012.

Police say a Florida man threatening his neighbors with nunchucks and bug spray was arrested, sustaining a cut after he accidently hit himself in the head with his weapon. (link: http://apne.ws/h7q9wVh) apne.ws/h7q9wVh #odd”
