Drunken 17-year-old Australian girl kicks man repeatedly in groin, sending victim to hospital
A drunken Australian schoolgirl kneed and kicked a man repeatedly in the groin because he mispronounced her name, a court has been told.
Megan Jane Conroy, then 17, from Sandstone Point north of Brisbane, sobbed in the dock in the Brisbane District Court as she pleaded guilty to one count of assault occasioning bodily harm.
No one as yet has explained why she was not charged with a more serious sexual crime, as would appear appropriate due to the sexual nature of the assault.
The court was told she arrived home about 1am (AEST) on May 13, 2006, to find the complainant and a group of her mother's friends celebrating a birthday.
Conroy asked the 40-year-old complainant if he was "a Kiwi", and told him to "get fucked" when he replied in the affirmative.
She then took offence that he pronounced her name as "Maegan" instead of "Megan" and kneed him in the groin, demanding he say it correctly.
She pushed him against the wall and kicked his groin again before the complainant apologised.
Conroy finally let him go after trying to kick him a third time.
The man went to hospital and was treated for severe bruising to his testicles and excessive pain.
The court was told Conroy was intoxicated at the time and the behaviour was out of character.
She was released on a six-month good-behaviour bond and spared a criminal conviction, as if she had committed no crime at all.
* So much for my love of Australian women. And how is it that she gets off for a vicious sexual attack just because they don't have a record of her having done this before? How many rapes does a man get to commit before he's officially a rapist? The way she pinned him to the wall so she could attack him several times doesn't sound like any casual thing, something she just came up with on the spur of the moment while drunk. It sounds like the sort of thing the girl has done before, and realized she could get multiple attacks in when her victim was pinned between her and a wall so that he couldn't fall down. I guarantee, if they rounded up her friends, they'd all have more than a few stories of her attacking other guys. But hey, she's a girl and her victim was a guy, so it isn't really the same as a violent rape. It's empowerment. Rape is very empowering, you know. For the rapist.

Alex Ferguson
'Fighting drunk' pleads guilty to assault, but not sexual assault
Associated Press, Updated 3 hours ago
LONDON (AP) - A man who punched Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson in the groin outside a London train station pleaded guilty Wednesday to assault.
Kevin Reynolds, a 43-year-old from Scotland who was described as a homeless "fighting drunk" in court, also admitted to attacking and racially abusing a police support officer who was called to the scene.
Ferguson was waiting to be picked up outside the Euston train station in central London when the attack occurred Monday afternoon. Ferguson had soreness and tenderness after being punched in the testicles, officials told the City of London Magistrates Court.
The court was told that Ferguson thought the man staggering toward him was a beggar. Instead, Reynolds punched him and said: "I'm sorry Fergie, I did not know it was you."
Reynolds then allegedly chanted "Fergie, Fergie, shut your mouth" - a soccer chant common in Scotland.
The court was told that Reynolds had consumed half a bottle of vodka and several beers before the attack.
Magistrate Daphne Wickham described Reynolds as a "fighting drunk" and dismissed claims that he had been joking around.
"I do not think Sir Alex Ferguson saw this as a joke," Wickham said.
Reynolds was remanded in custody ahead of his sentencing date, which has yet to be determined. He could face up to two years in jail, but will likely get nothing if previous cases of sexual assault of males such as this one are any indication.
Ferguson had traveled from Manchester to London to attend a charity event.
Anucha
Isiah's harassment trial heats up quickly

New York Post, Updated 19 minutes ago
Knick President and coach Isiah Thomas can be a charmer with a crowd, but a former team executive suing him for alleged sexual harassment told jurors yesterday he's a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.
"He was always starting sentences with the word 'bitch,' " ex-marketing veep Anucha Browne Sanders testified in Manhattan federal court.
"Bitch, I don't give a fuck about the sponsors. Bitch, I don't give a fuck about ticket sales. That's your job," Sanders quoted Thomas as telling her whenever she tried to involve players in promotional events for the failing team.
Sanders, a senior vice president for the team from 2000 to 2006, acknowledged that in public, Thomas is "very pleasant and personable. He was the Isiah that we see."
But behind the scenes, the hotheaded coach, who joined the team in 2003, flew into frequent rages, dropping f-bombs and targeting venom toward her, the team's only female vice president, she said.
He also allegedly took aim at whites.
Sanders said that when she asked Thomas at one point to hand-sign letters to season-ticket holders, he spat, "I don't give a fuck about these white people."
She said that prompted her to remind the coach that 80 percent of the team's season-ticket holders are white.
A 6-foot-1, former college basketball star, Sanders stayed composed as she recounted the alleged verbal abuse and her repeated complaints to her bosses.
But she finally cracked when she said Thomas suddenly flipped his approach - professing his love and suggesting they go "off-site."
Thomas first pulled her aside at a Christmas party in 2004, and the two had joined in a basketball game called "horse," Sanders said.
That's when Thomas told her, "I figured out why we have problems. It's because we're so much alike. I'm in love with you. It's like the movie, 'Love and Basketball,' " Sanders said.
Anyone ever heard of this movie?
"I said, 'You're out of your mind,' " Sanders said. "I wanted to get out of there as fast as I could. I was just nervous."
Sometime later, Thomas called Sanders to a meeting in his office, purportedly to discuss staffing issues, closed the door and gave her a "big hug," she said.
Oh no, not the Big Hug!
"He said, 'You know I'm in love with you,' " Sanders recalled. "I said, 'Isiah, we just need to figure out a way to work together. Where else do you have an African-American president of the Garden, an African-American president of the team and an African-American vice president?'
"It is a tremendous message to minorities that this even exists," a teary-eyed Sanders recalled saying, clearing her throat as she repeated his response with rehearsed emotion, like a delicate flower who is easily offended, or perhaps a former Rutgers player who is even more easily offended and prone to fainting and weeping and suing.
"I want to take you off-site for some private time," she said Thomas told her, oddly not indicating the use of the word 'bitch' in any more quotes.
In opening statements yesterday, Thomas' lawyer Kathleen Bogas denied that the Knick honcho had ever acted inappropriately toward Sanders, either verbally or sexually. She called him "nothing other than a total gentleman. A pimpin' man with a stable full of hos. He don't need no lanky-assed oversized donkey-face like her."
Bogas said Sanders didn't like the changes that Thomas made when he took over the team and "decided to lash out ... played the sexual-harassment card, which always wins."
Frank Jude
Male stripper beaten almost to death by off-duty police
By Emanuella Grinberg, Court TV
(Court TV) — A male stripper who says he was stripped naked in the street and brutally beaten by a gang of off-duty police officers made himself a target when he tried to steal an officer's badge to use in his striptease, a defense attorney told jurors Wednesday in the battery trial of three officers.
"The suggestion that this case is not about a badge is insulting," said Michael Hart, lawyer for defendant Andrew Spengler, in his closing argument. "You better believe this case is about the badge."
Spengler, along with co-defendants Jon Bartlett and Daniel Masarik, faces three years in prison if convicted of substantial battery. Bartlett and Masarik face an additional 10 years on reckless endangerment charges.
While Hart condemned the viciousness of the attack, which landed alleged victim Frank Jude in the hospital near death, with a broken nose and bruises all over his body, including and especially his testicles, he denied that his client had anything to do with the major injuries Jude suffered the morning of Oct. 24, 2004.
Frank Jude suffered a concussion, a broken nose and fractured sinus cavity, cuts in both ears, cuts and swelling to his left eye, neck, head, face, legs and back, and a severely sprained left hand, his attorney said. His left eye was swollen shut and continued to bleed for 10 days, he said.
Jude said he will need surgery to breathe through his nose again, may have permanent disability in one hand and suffers diminished vision. He said he has nightmares and panics when he sees police near his home in the Fox Valley area or when he visits extended family in Milwaukee.
At 6 feet tall, Jude, who was 230 pounds and physically fit at the time of the beating, said that helped him endure the ordeal.
"I believe if I was a smaller man I never would have survived," he said.
Hart told the panel of nine women and four men that his client, a former Milwaukee police officer, used appropriate force while trying to detain Jude on suspicions that the 26-year-old stripper had stolen his badge.
In the prosecution's closing argument Tuesday, Milwaukee County District Attorney Michael McCann scoffed at the suggestion that the theft of the badge, which was never recovered, was at the heart of the trial.
"It's because of the gravity of the injuries to Jude that this case was forced into the public light," said McCann told jurors. "The kicking to the head, the kicking to the testicles and all over his body, that's the issue here, not whether he took the badge."
McCann also argued that because of a "blue wall of silence," several police witnesses denied seeing any violence against Jude.
Jude said the incident has affected his wife, 4-year-old boy and baby girl. The day he came home from the hospital, Jude said, his son thought he had dressed early for Halloween.
"He said, 'Take off your mask Daddy.' And he tried to take it off. I said, 'I'm OK. I'm OK.' I had tears in my eyes. I'll never forget that."
Woman shoots divorcing husband 4 times with shotgun
Tue Sep 11, 5:51 PM ET
VANCOUVER, Wash. - A woman is accused of shooting her husband four times with a 16-gauge double-barreled shotgun after learning he had met someone else and wanted a divorce.
Eddie Martin, 51, survived the attack, but may have to have a limb amputated. Sheryl Martin, also 51, had to go to the garage and reload after the first two shots.
Martin made her first appearance on Monday in Clark County Superior Court. Martin was released on bail and was ordered to live with her parents, as she is prohibited from returning to the home she shares with her husband/victim. She will be formally charged September 21st.
Eddie Martin, when backed into a corner by his angry wife, told her he was having an affair and wanted a divorce.
They argued and Eddie went to sleep in a camper. Sheryl found a shotgun, loaded it, went out to the camper, and shot him while he was in bed.

Sheryl Martin called 911 and told a dispatcher what she had done and was arrested on Saturday.
The pair have been married for 30 years.
Based on an endless number of previous cases in which angry women have shot or sexually mutilated sleeping men, including cases in which the women admitted they were just mad and had no specific reason, it is expected that she will be declared the "real victim" and receive no punishment whatever.
Police grab protester by testicles and try to crush them
Plainclothesed police in Kuala Lumpur are accused of grabbing protestor, Saari Sungib, by the neck, arms, legs, and testicles. They then allegedly squeezed his testicles and tried to crush them, a violent sexual attack which can cause death, especially when the victim is kept on his back, as Saari was.
“Several men in plainclothes surrounded me … I was dragged by my neck … and thrown down to the ground,” he said.
“Although my body was held hard, I managed to clamp my knees together to prevent them from crushing my testicles,” he added.
Saari alleged that the arrest was a ‘vindictive act’ on the part of Special Branch officers who are upset with his criticisms against the police.
He said that he also sustained injuries to his neck, arms and left shoulder as a result of that incident.
Saari also revealed that he will take legal action against the government, inspector-general of police and all those involved in violating his human right.
