HUNTINGTON, Ind.
An Indiana man was being detained on $50,000 bond for allegedly performing
``the most unkindest cut of all'' -- surgical castrations on at least five men.
Edward Bodkin, 55, faces a hearing in Huntington County Circuit
Court on charges of practicing medicine without a
license, a felony that carries a maximum fine of $10,000 and up
to 8 years in prison if he is convicted.
Huntington County prosecutor John Branham said a scalpel,
knives, needles and other medical equipment were seized along
with videotapes when he was arrested.
Branham said in an interview that the men undergoing the
procedure in the videotapes were ``not objecting ... they were
conscious and obviously not being forced.''
The videotapes indicated that surgery was performed on at least
five men, and ``there may be more,'' he said. Investigators
said they did not know why Bodkin had been performing the
procedures.
He performed the procedure because he was getting paid!, but
it just goes to show you that there are a lot of "weirdo's" out there.
Just the thought of this makes me wince
