Your support makes all the difference.A married man who planned a rendezvous with one of his handful of lovers at a Wisconsin motel instead found himself bound, blindfolded and assaulted by a group of women out for revenge.
Four women, including his wife, showed up to humiliate the man, who ended up with his penis glued to his stomach to punish him for a lover's quadrangle gone bad, according to court documents.
Now it is the women who face punishment, perhaps six years in prison, and one said on Monday that she's now embarrassed about the incident.
"I am disturbed. I am upset. I am having a hard time handling life... an emotional wreck," Wendy Sewell, 43, of Kaukauna, said in a telephone interview from her home. "I am ashamed."
Ms Sewell, Therese Ziemann, 48, Michelle Belliveau, 43, and the man's wife are charged with being party to false imprisonment. Ms Ziemann is also charged with fourth-degree sexual assault.
The women are free on $200 (£120) cash bail each. Investigators say all the women but Ms Belliveau were romantically involved with the man. The man's wife cannot be named in order to protect his identity as an alleged victim of sexual assault.
The women's plot for revenge unfolded last Thursday at the Lakeview Motel, Stockbridge, near the scenic shores of Lake Winnebago.
Criminal complaints filed on Friday allege the man agreed to be bound with "sheer sheets" and blindfolded with a pillowcase for a "rub down" by Ms Ziemann. Instead, she cut off his underwear with scissors and summoned the others to the room.
Ms Ziemann struck the man in the face, and used Krazy Glue to attach his penis to his stomach when the other women arrived, according to the complaint. The man told investigators he was also threatened with a gun.
Ms Ziemann told police that she didn't have a gun but may have told the victim: "Do you know how much I want to shoot you?"
He started screaming and the women rushed off, fearful that he could get loose and hurt them. They allegedly took his wallet, vehicle and mobile phone.
Ms Ziemann told investigators she met the man through the Craigslist website, fell in love and paid for a room at the motel for the past two months. She claimed she had given him about $3,000 which she expected to be repaid. Then last Wednesday, she learned from the man's wife that he was married, had other girlfriends and was "using them for money".
During the confrontation with the man, Ms Ziemann claimed that Ms Sewell asked him: "Which one do you love more?" and the man's wife made a derisive remark about him being scared.
The man freed himself from the bed by chewing through one of his bindings, went outside and borrowed a telephone from the motel owner to call the police.
Ms Belliveau, who is the sister of Ms Ziemann, did not do anything wrong, Ms Sewell claimed on Monday. "She was just there for moral support. She wasn't even dating the guy. She stood at the door the whole time and didn't participate or nothing," she said.
