No jail for women in “glued penis” case

“Most couples seek out divorce attorneys,” judge declares

Four Wisconsin women facing 30 to 60 days in jail for gluing chronic philanderer Donessa Davis’s penis to his stomach have escaped with one-year probation. The revenge plot was hatched last summer by Davis’s wife, his two lovers and an acquaintance of theirs who was not sexually involved with the man. They lured him to a motel, tied him up, blindfolded and then assaulted him. The gluing tactic wasn’t part of the plan, the women told the court: it just evolved as the episode played out. The four were convicted of “disorderly conduct,” with one woman also charged with “battery.” In handing down the sentence, Judge Donald Poppy noted most couples seek out divorce attorneys when marital problems become too great: “They don’t set things in motion so people get all messed up with glue.”
