Women to Stand Trial for Genital Gluing

(AP)  A man whose penis was glued to his stomach testified Tuesday that a motel tryst with a girlfriend involving a bondage fantasy turned painful and humiliating after his wife, a second girlfriend and another woman burst into the room and harassed him because of his cheating ways.

The 37-year-old Fond du Lac man told Calumet County Circuit Court Judge Timothy Van Akkeren that during the July 30 ordeal, which lasted about 30 minutes, he was punched in the face twice. The woman he had gone to the motel to meet, Therese Ziemann, super glued his penis to his stomach while at least two of the other women watched, the man said.

"I was telling them, you can't let her do it. This is assault," the man testified.

Akkeren ruled there was enough evidence for the case to go to trial.

Ziemann, 48, of Menasha, Wendy Sewell, 43, of Kaukauna, Michelle Belliveau, 43, of Neenah and the man's 30-year-old wife are each charged with being party to felony false imprisonment, a felony. Ziemann is also charged with misdemeanor fourth-degree sexual assault in the gluing incident.

Belliveau pleaded not guilty to the charge Tuesday. The others asked for time to file motions before entering pleas.

All the women except the man's wife glared at him during his nearly 90 minutes of testimony. They all declined to comment on their way out of court.

The Associated Press is not naming the man or his wife because he is the alleged victim of sexual abuse.

The man testified that he had developed sexual relationships with Ziemann and Sewall, but that Sewell had mentioned ending things in late July. He knew Belliveau because she was Ziemann's sister.

The man said he agreed to be tied to the bed because he and Ziemann had talked about bondage and he had agreed to pay for some nice fabric she would buy to tie him.

He said he was startled by a knock at the door, and worried it might be Ziemann's husband. He realized the "fun had stopped" after his wife and the other women entered the room.

"The rest came in and the hurting trip began," said the man, who testified in shackles because he is jailed in an unrelated case on theft and child abuse charges. "It got chaotic real quick, real fast. ... I was asking everybody in the room to cut me loose."

The man testified that his wife was the first to leave, and that the others left "in a panic" when he began to struggle free of his bonds. It took him another 2-3 minutes to get free and run naked outside and seek help, he said.

Sewell's attorney, Nila Robinson, said she would seek to have the charge against her client dismissed because of a lack of evidence.

"The inference that she was a participant in restraining (the man) is not justified. Just standing around is not enough," Robinson said.

She called the man dishonest, a liar and a con man. He tricked the women he called his girlfriends by telling them he loved them and wanted futures with them, Robinson said.

Attorneys for the other women said there were no plea bargain talks under way with prosecutors, and that they intend to fight the charges.

I can understand how the women felt hurt, betrayed, lied to...There is always the chance the innocent parties will get AIDs or other transmitted veneral diseases by a man like this. I do not think the women should be charged with sexual assault eventhough they may have gone overboard. This should be a lesson to womanizers like him.

He got exactly what he deserved, he's lucky they didn't pull a Lorena Bobbitt on him. I'm not saying what they did to him was right, there are other things they could have done...but HE chose to cheat and being betrayed often has the affect of making people emotionally unstable. Is that an excuse? No, but it is a reality...people often become unpredictable when betrayed and find themselves in that type of emotional pain. I wouldn't have chosen this course of action, I'd have gone after his pride in other ways, and his pocket book. If he'd have kept his dick in his pants and stayed faithful...none of this would have happened now would it?

[She called the man dishonest, a liar and a con man. He tricked the women he called his girlfriends by telling them he loved them and wanted futures with them, Robinson said. ]

so now lying is a legal foundation for allowing whatever you choose to do to that person ... and this is coming from an attorney?

and to think he used 'a trick' that's never been used before ... tell them you love them and want futures with them.

they should all be super glued together ... and left to figure it all out for themselves.

Who cares who is right or wrong. Is this really the kind of thing we should be cluttering up our justice system with? Or did we run out of murderers, theives, and REAL sexual predetors to bring to justice? OH, wah wah some guy got all butt hurt because his wife and 3 girlfriends called "bulls**t on him. Its freakin hilarious, if you ask me. In all honesty if I were a man and it happened to me, I'd be too embarrassed to tell anyone, let alone call the cops.
If anything the super glue company could turn this whole thing into a really awesome ad campaign. They could all be the spokespeople~I'd love to see those commercials!

So do you defend molesters when they assault boys just because its only boys?

How do you rationalise things so that sex assault isnt a real crime?

Put the bimbos in jail for 2-3 yrs and Im sure they will learn some better ways of revenge from thier cell *****...
