You Won't Believe What This 51 Year Old Woman Did Her Boyfriend (See)

A woman has been charged with castration after biting her lover's testicles so hard that he needed stitches in an incident she describes as 'a misunderstanding'.

Police in North Carolina's Onslow County said Martinne Delavega, 51, bit down so hard on the man's scrotum during what has been described as a domestic dispute by investigators that it has caused permanent damage.

After being arrested by police, a mugshot shows Delavega with blood on her shirt and a bandage
around her head, reports WCNC.

Police said the incident happened last Wednesday and she has been now been charged with malicious castration. However, appearing in court, she told the judge that it was all a misunderstanding.

During the alleged castration, police deputies say the man assaulted Delavega, who they say is his girlfriend. She was injured by the assault and needed treatment. The suspect was photographed with what appears to be a bandage on her head shortly afterwards.

A friend of the woman said she was shocked by her actions. 'I've known her half of my life. She's a great person and mother and this is totally out of character. There has to be something else going on,' family friend Zach Walter said.

Delavega was released on a $10,000 bond. She is scheduled to appear in court again in October.
