An Indonesian woman reportedly cut off her boyfriend’s penis after he threatened to release their sex tapes in an effort to blackmail her into sleeping with him again.
The 28-year-old man, who was not named, was transported to a nearby hospital after the attack, which occurred at a hotel in Sibolga in North Sumatra on Saturday, local authorities report.
He remains in intensive care, according to the New York Post.
The woman, also 28 and whose identity was not revealed, allegedly severed his penis after he attempted to have sex with her when she was “not in the mood.”
The couple had been in a relationship for around seven months, Sibolga Police Chief Taryono Rajarja said.
“So, they made an appointment to meet at a hotel; then the man asked to have sex, after which the woman refused,” Rajarja added.
“When he was denied sex, the man threatened to spread the videos of their intimate activities.”
Authorities say she used the man’s own knife to assault him.
“Then, when he was ready to take a shower, the suspect carried out the attack. She took a knife belonging to the man and cut off his penis.”
A receptionist at the hotel told police that she asked for help and that her boyfriend was bleeding, the outlet reports.
Graphic photos of the crime scene show the man lying in bed surrounded by a blood-drenched hotel room.
The woman has since been arrested but has not been charged as of this article’s publication, with police stating they’re still waiting to interview the boyfriend.
It’s unclear whether or not the man’s penis will be able to be reattached.
Instances of women severing a man’s member are few and far between, but they do occur.
Lorena Bobbitt became a tabloid star after she famously cut off her then-husband John Wayne Bobbitt’s penis in 1993.
She has always maintained that John had raped and abused her, prompting her to cut off his manhood with a kitchen knife as he slept.
In 2019, Lorena said in an interview for the Today show that she had no regrets about the infamous evening.
“How can you regret something that was not planned?” Bobbitt said. “You have to understand, I wasn’t in my right mindset.”
John’s penis was successfully reattached following a 10-hour surgery, and they even went on to have a brief career in porn.
