No More Toilet Humor: Sheriff Recommending Charges

toilet seat toilet bowl woman stuck to toilet Above the Law blog.jpgThanks to a Kansan sheriff, this great story now has the legal twist we hoped for. A 35-year-old woman sat on her boyfriend's toilet long enough to become stuck to it.

Criminal charges against her boyfriend are now in the works, according to the Kansas City Star:

Ness County Sheriff Bryan Whipple said Thursday he asked the county attorney to file charges against Kory McFarren for mistreatment of a dependent adult. The county attorney will decide whether any charges are brought.

By our count, the girlfriend spent Valentine's Day in the bathroom. If "food and water" did not include chocolates on February 14th, this guy is definitely guilty of mistreatment.

McFarren said she moved around in the bathroom during that time, bathed and changed into clothes he brought her. He brought food and water to her. They had conversations and an otherwise normal relationship — except it all happened in the bathroom.

If we were to conduct a relationship in one room of the house, it would be the kitchen. And we would have a laptop.

The criminal charges are crap.

First

Did they do any, um, sexual stuff while she was on the pot? Just sayin, two years is a long time to go without.

(I'm not weird for asking. They're weird. Besides, you all were thinking the same thing!)

If she was moving around in there, she wouldn't have become fused to the toilet seat such that it necessitated the removal of the seat from the toilet with a pry bar in order to transport her to the hospital.

Just an observation.

If she bathed and moved around in the bathroom as he says, how'd she get stuck? Something stinks about his story.

How hasn't had a "toilet experience" with their girlfriend... my girlfriend may not be stuck to the toilet...but she seems to live in there!

REHASH OF TOILET STORIES?!

Where can I buy add space... I have a "jump the SHARK" ad for David to Run!

Two years? How did she cook her boyfriend turkey pot pies?

Wait a second, the sheriff's name is Mr. Whipple? Seriously?!?

What BS. There's no indication that she was retarded or otherwise legally incompetent, nor had he been appointed her legal guardian. Once again the criminal justice system tries to ruin an innocent person's life simply because it needs a scapegoat.

This whole story doesn't make sense. How can she move around the bathroom if she's stuck to the toilet. There is definitely more that hasn't come out in the story. Someone sounds a little crazy. I almost hope charges are brought because then we might be more likely to hear all the craziness of this.

Mr. Whipple is investigating the toilet story. What a coincidence!

I think she was in the bathroom for 2 years, but only became stuck in the last month or so.

I agree with 12:10.

And it always amazes me that for a bunch of lawyers, you never read the stories with any level of detail to actually understand the facts.

what i don't understand is how there wasn't more damage to her legs. the story i saw on cnn speculated that she might have nerve damage/end up in a wheelchair. but i would think unless she was doing some stretching exercises or something, sitting on the toilet that long would completely cut off the circulation to her legs, leading to amputation or maybe even death. and that would happen in, at maximum, a matter of days, rather than weeks/months.

That's ridiculous, 12:16. Remaining in a stationary position for extended periods of time causes no physical injury or discomfort whatsoever.

this post is a bit of a mess. please try harder.

i like the post.

happy steak and bj day

I like the post too.

11:56, if you don't like ATL, then don't read it. There are literally thousands of other legal blogs out there.

was it a TTT?

i like her much better than the blonde. didn't even notice it wasn't Lat until i scrolled down.

This is how she could (1) have moved around as she said, but (2) still have been fused to the toilet. (see below).

If she was there for approx. two years, wouldn't she have, by definition, been there for at least one Valentine's Day, and more likely 2, and even possibly 3?

"If we were to conduct a relationship in one room of the house, it would be the kitchen. And we would have a laptop."

I'm all down for sex in the kitchen. Assuming that your one room is the kitchen because you love to cook, we should get together. If you're good you can even that laptop.

But where would we go to the bathroom?

For that matter, where did he go to the bathroom?

12:27: steak and bj day? Is this D.P.?

1:15, the story said there were two bathrooms in the house. He used the other one.

12:20

um, have you ever heard of bedsores?

Or I guess in this case, seatsores?

Hasn't "jump the shark" jumped the shark?

Kashmir is way better than SEN!!!

Hmm. My my. Well ain't that a corker?

Bear Stearns failing; Citigroup and other financial companies to follow. Cadwalader and other law firms barely on life support. Yet all you morons seem to be interested in is someone having his hiney licked or whether women are being kept out of partnerships. At the rate things are going, there won't be any partnerships left. You twits deserve what's coming to you.

Sounds like an abusive relationship. Its so hard to read stories like this. I question how a person that can do anything like that to another person can live with themselves.
