More about the man who lost his penis to Catherine Becker-Kieu
Posted: Mon Nov 28, 2016 12:24 pm
So, most of you know the story of Catherine Becker-Kieu, which is pretty much the most drastic purposeful penectomy story by a wife/girlfriend -- she drugged him, tied him up, waited for him to wake up, made him experience having his penis entirely sliced off, then put it in the garbage disposal. And it happened in the US -- Garden Grove California.
(For anyone interested in having a crazy penis-cutting girlfriend, she'll be out of prison in four years..)
In some news articles about the case, such as http://www.straitstimes.com/world/us-wo ... ands-penis they identify the husband as "Glen" and that he was a "60-year-old man" (in 2013).
In another news article they identify him as Glen B, and since the woman has hyphenated name and is from Vietnam, it is pretty clear that his name is Glen Becker. In comments about the case on one article, someone is more specific and mentions his name is "Glen C Becker".
Anyway, a search for Glen C Becker in Garden Grove gets some hits. He still lives there and runs a fabric wholesaling company. More interestingly though there is also a Facebook hit https://www.facebook.com/glen.becker.14. Now it doesn't say his age, but says he graduated from Van Nuys High School. If you go to the school's website and search for alumni there is a hit on a Glen Becker who graduated in 1969. That would make him between 63 and 64 which matches the age.
The Facebook page has a picture of him -- he seems like a pretty handsome, healthy guy. Must be really crazy to be without a penis when he clearly could get women. He said of the injury during the sentencing phase of the case:
Recalling the moment she mutilated him, he said Kieu first pulled on his shorts.
"I didn't really understand what she was doing ..I looked down and I saw something metallic, silver, shiny. I still didn't know what was going on.
"I felt her grab hold of my penis. I was very surprised. All of a sudden I felt a very sharp pain and she had cut my penis off and then threw it on the carpet next to the bed." At first he felt "excruciating" pain.
"But I must've gone into shock because the pain subsided," he said, adding that he recalled his wife picking up his penis and leaving the room.
"The next thing I heard was the garbage disposal .. I don't know how long that went on - a long time," he said.
A short time later Kieu returned and he asked her to call for an ambulance.
She held the phone up so he could talk to the 911 dispatcher. She put a towel over his groin, which was bleeding heavily.
He spent a few days in hospital and underwent surgery but "not reconstructive surgery," in an operation "to make it usable as far as going to the bathroom.
"Of course, I will never have a sex life again," he said. "The healing process may never be completely finished. My mental state is improving, but it may never be what it was before."
Before receiving the seven years-to-life prison sentence, Kieus husband addressed her in the Orange County courtroom. He said he was victimized twice: once during his wifes criminal act and a second time by having to relive the incident through the trial.
Kieu viciously deprived me of part of my life and identity. Then, as is routine in cases of violence that involve something sexual, the victim must endure, at the hands of the defense, a second attack, the husband said Friday. This was a cruel and calculated violation of a persons body and mind. I now struggle with what is before me. She has torn off my identity as a man. She has caused doubt in my belief in good. She has betrayed my trust in people.
