A Spanish rapper is accused of cutting his roommate’s penis with a 12-inch kitchen knife as part of a horrible attempt to get attention on social media, according to reports.
Aaron Beltran reportedly made a deal with Andrew Breach, a British professor trained at Oxford, to amputate his manhood – with Breach agreeing to pay a fee depending on how many times the video was shared on YouTube, the Independent reported.
The payment ranged from £ 173, or about $ 240, to a maximum of £ 2,164, or about $ 3,000, according to the report.
Beltran now faces four and a half years behind bars if convicted of the crime in Zaragoza, Spain, in March 2019, the newspaper said.
“On the afternoon of March 8, just before 7:15 pm, when the two men were in the victim’s room, Andrew tied the pajama cord to the bottom of the penis to prevent bleeding,” says the prosecution, The Sun reported.
“The accused, who was sitting in a chair across from him, cut his penis with a 30 cm kitchen knife that was never found because the accused got rid of it.”
A policeman told the court in eastern Spain that he found Breach, 35, who was teaching at a local language academy, bleeding heavily after the bloody feat.
Another policeman said that Brecha wanted to sever his penis because he did not feel completely man.
“When interviewing the victim at the hospital, he told us that the accused cut his penis. Andrew said he didn’t feel 100 percent male and wanted to get rid of his penis, ”the policeman told the court.
“He made a deal with the accused to pay him € 200, which would depend on how many views the amputation video received on YouTube. It was done based on hits ”, added the policeman.
Surgeons were able to replace the penis, which is already working perfectly, according to the Independent.
Breach spent three weeks in the hospital and then returned to the UK.
Prosecutors admit the amputation was consensual, but argue that Beltran still has criminal responsibility.
Meanwhile, Breach claimed in court that he had cut his own penis, contradicting his sworn statement that Beltran was responsible.
“I cut my own penis. I was not well. I did it myself, ”he said, adding that he felt pressure from the police to blame his roommate. The police denied his complaint.
Prosecutors accepted that Breach suffers from gender dysphoria, the vehicle said.
Local reports at the time of the amputation said the two men drank four bottles of wine and took Valium to muster up the courage to continue with it, The Sun reported.
Beltran, who spent four months in prison before being released on bail, goes by the stage name Sanatorio del Atico – or Sanatorium Ático.
