A woman in the United States who was nicked for apparently squeezing her chap’s balls until they bled has become something of a hero to a bunch of blokes who seem to like the idea.
Katie Lee Pitchford’s mugshot was posted on Instagram by the user Mugshawtys, who uses his account to share images of arrested women he likes the look of.
He has posted that his latest find was held on suspicion of “battery (squeezed boyfriend’s balls until they bled)”.
And the comments from his followers suggest that a number of them would quite like to have been Pitchford’s victim.
One user wrote: “I’ve paid a lot of money for this and some dude calls the cops on her for getting exactly what he wanted? He doesn’t deserve her.”
Another simply said: “Some guys have to pay $$$ for that type of play.”
A third commentator said that the victim might have told the court: “Your honour, I just forgot the safe word.”
And another Instagram user forlornly told the world: “Lord, I see the things you give others. Why can you not give it to me?”
The incident actually happened a few years ago when Pitchford, then 21, got into a furious row with her boyfriend in Miami, Florida, and attacked him with a brush.
Cops nicked her for domestic battery after neighbours reported a domestic.
A police report into the incident said that Pitchford became “enraged”, and after hitting him with the brush she continued to “strike him with her fists and scratched the left side of his face”.
Pitchford then “grabbed him by his balls and squeezed them until they were bleeding” before trying to throttle him.
She was already on probation for resisting an officer with violence when she was nicked.
Mugshawtys has a habit of unearthing old mugshots and posting them online – and the people involved don’t always like it.
A few weeks ago, one of the women whose picture was shared responded to the Instagram thread.
Taylor Johnson, from Houston, Texas, was another whose looks sent social media users into a frenzy, but she replied: “Posting my mugshot two years later is crazy. Didn’t even ask me.”
According to Mugshawtys, Johnson was arrested for drink-driving and the possession of banned substance.
