Oklahoma "cutter" sentenced quitely (follow-up to "Another Cautionary Tale"
Posted: Sat Sep 18, 2021 11:44 am
This thread is a follow-up to the thread started back in October 2020, Another Cautionary Tale, (http://forums.eunuch.org/showthread.php ... t=oklahoma) about two men in Oklahoma who were arrested for performing castration on someone. The media had been paying a lot of attention to this, but for some reason, missed out reporting on the sentencing phase, which wrapped up for one on August 31, and the other on September 14. I guess it just wasn't flashy enough to report on. However, it is in the public record at the court in Oklahoma, which is how I figured it out.
The younger of the pair, Thomas Gates, is essentially getting out with time served + a few days. His sentence is to be served concurrently on the misdemeanor charges that have stuck. He will get out without a felony conviction on his record, which means he should be employable and not have to answer the dreaded, "Have you been convicted of a felony" question on job applications. This was arranged after a plea deal was made with his partner agreeing to take the heat.
As for the "cutter" himself, we have a big surprise, nobody I know of has ever been sentenced this harshly for being a "cutter."
For those of you who think being a "cutter" and practicing medicine/surgery without a license would be a good career choice, you might want to take a look at the results below, referring back to the initial charges in the Another Cautionary Tale, (http://forums.eunuch.org/showthread.php ... t=oklahoma) thread.
Total time to serve:
12 years, 1 month total as the sentence is to be served consecutively (meaning serve one, then serve the next). He will not see the light of day for about 11 years, unless released early.
Count 1 - Conspiracy to commit unlicensed surgery (Felony) - 1 year, 1 month
Count 2 - Practicing medicine without a license (Felony) - 4 years
Count 3 - Maiming (CHARGES DROPPED)
Count 4 - Attempted distribution of controlled dangerous substance (Felony) - 5 years
Count 5 - Possession of Dangerous Drugs without a prescription (Felony) - 1 year
Count 6 - Failure to bury a dead human member (Felony) - 1 year
There were other charges dropped as well.
It kind of puts this "career choice" into perspective, doesn't it? Hopefully this will let you all see why talk of "cutters" in any serious way is prohibited here. It's to keep the site from being used to solicit or offer those services to others, and helps keep our members out of trouble, at least on this topic.
