Boyfriend vs Girlfriend Rape??/Warning Contains Graphic Subject Matter
Despite her claims of violent rape, Delmy Ruiz is still a criminal for cutting off her boyfriend's penis with a knife, a prosecutor said this morning.

1. A nasty story
Some people are really fuct up. And sometimes, they find each other and have relationships.

I'm not sure it will be easy to figure out who is the "real" culprit. Sounds like two very violent people who had at each other, if initial reports are correct.

This is another case where we're going to have to wait for the investigation to be conducted and scrutinized.

--p!

2. This is pretty much the same scenario as
John and Lorena Bobbitt, at least on the surface (I have not yet read the article itself).

As I recall, John was later charged with raping Lorena and was acquitted, and Lorena was either convicted or pled guilty to assault.

4. Here's a link
John was acquitted and Lorena was found not guilty.

Basically, the respective juries said "John can't be convicted of assault, so we're setting him free" and "Lorena can't be convicted of malicious wounding because John assaulted her, so we're setting her free." No paradox there!

Messed up from start to finish.

3. How did she cut it off? With one quick swift slice or
did she have to saw a little? I mean how would this guy even let her do it?

5. Use your imagination.
I can picture how she did it before he could stop her.
