Four Women To Stand Trial in Penis-Gluing Incident
Posted: Thursday, September 17th, 2009 at 3:02 pm
Calumet County, Wisconsin—Four women will stand trial for participating in a plot to lure a man to a motel, hold him hostage, and glue his penis to his stomach in retaliation for having had relationships with three of them. A Calumet County Circuit Court Judge ruled earlier this week, after having heard testimony from the alleged victim.
The alleged victim, who is a 37-year-old man who is in custody on charges in an unrelated case, wore an orange jail-issued jumpsuit when he took the stand. According to a local affiliate, the man stated, “I was telling them they couldn’t do this, that it’s assault. Hello, let me leave.” His testimony lasted 90 minutes.
The criminal complaint in the matter states that the man’s wife, in conjunction with two other women, Therese Ziemann and Wendy Sewell, decided to stage a meeting with the man at a Stockbridge, WI hotel in order to confront him. They had recently learned that the man was having “sexual relations” with all three, unbeknownst to any of them. Also present was Michelle Belliveau, Ziemann’s sister.
Ziemann arrived at the hotel first, and when the alleged victim joined her, told him that she wanted to “tie him up and give him a rub down” according to the complaint. She then proceeded to tie him to the bed with sheets and use a pillowcase to blindfold him. She cut off his underwear and then sent text messages to the three other women, saying that “he’s tied up.”
The man had met Ziemann through Craigslist, and she claims that after the two fell in love, she paid for their hotel room trysts and also lent him $3,000. On the day prior to the super-gluing incident, the man’s wife contacted Ziemann to let her know that the man was married with children and seeing other women for money.
The four women interrogated the man while he was tied up, asking him about his loyalty to them and which one he would choose. Ziemann then slapped him and used Krazy Glue to adhere his penis to his stomach. The women took his wallet, cell phone and car, leaving him tied to the bed. The man freed himself by chewing on his bindings.
The man has a criminal record, dating back to 1998, and is in custody on unrelated charges of child abuse, theft and harassment.
All four women will face charges of felony false imprisonment, and could receive up to six years in prison on these charges if they are convicted. Ziemann is also accused of misdemeanor sexual assault and batter, and faces arraignment on October 5th. Belliveau pleaded not guilty earlier this week. The two remaining women have motion hearings scheduled for next month.
