Indian woman cuts off genitals of her alleged rapist

By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW DELHI — May 20, 2017, 7:10 AM ET

A 24-year-old woman in southern India cut off the genitals of a Hindu holy man who tried to rape her and who she alleged has been sexually assaulting her for the past eight years, police said Saturday.

G. Sparjan Kumar, a police officer in Thiruvananthapuram, the Kerala state capital, said the woman fled her home after the incident Friday night and called police.

The alleged attacker, 54-year-old Gangeshananda Theerthapada, who claims to be a spiritual healer, was reported to be in stable condition after reconstructive surgery.

Pinarayi Vijayan, the state's chief minister, told reporters on Saturday that it was brave of the woman to take such action. "It's a courageous and strong act by the woman," he said.

so he's still got his nuts but no dick.

It's hard to find sympathy for any rapist who has been disarmed. However, he's likely to find other ways to act out his profound hatred of women.

I hope she gets away with it. And I hope his junk never works again. The pig deserves to suffer.

After all he's been healing her bedridden father for years and he's going to be up and dancing any day now.
