GREENSBURG, Pennsylvania (AP) -- A U.S. man sued his ex-girlfriend for more than $30,000 for gluing his genitals to his abdomen five years ago.
Kenneth Slaby of Pittsburgh is suing Gail O'Toole, with whom he broke up in 1999, after dating for 10 months. Slaby then began dating someone else but, according to the lawsuit, O'Toole invited him over to her home on May 7, 2000, where he fell asleep.
When he woke up, Slaby found that O'Toole had used Super Glue to stick his genitals to his abdomen, glued his buttocks together and spelled out a profanity on his back in nail polish.
O'Toole allegedly told him it was payback for their breakup, and he had to walk a mile (1.6 kilometer) to a gas station to call for help.
"This was not just some petty domestic squabble," Slaby's attorney Grey Pratt said Wednesday.
O'Toole had pleaded guilty to misdemeanor assault and served six months' probation, but her ex-boyfriend is now suing for damages.
O'Toole's attorney, Chuck Evans, said it was a consensual act and Slaby wasn't permanently damaged.
"This is a case that should have been left in the bedroom," he said.
