Woman charged with malicious castration
(gg)
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.
