Woman accused of assaulting boyfriend speaks out
MILWAUKEE (AP) —A woman accused of helping lure a boyfriend to a Wisconsin hotel room and gluing his penis to his stomach as punishment for his cheating ways said Tuesday she and the other women went to the motel to tell him “the gig was up.”
Therese Ziemann told NBC’s “Today” show that she and the other three women accused of holding the man against his will in a Stockbridge hotel room near Green Bay did not collaborate, and there was no ringleader among them.
Ziemann said the women were simply victims.
“He’s a predator and we’re the prey,” she said.
Prosecutors say the women, including the man’s wife and another girlfriend, lured the man to the motel on July 30 to punish him for cheating.
Court documents say the man agreed to be bound with sheets and blindfolded by Ziemann, and that she used Krazy Glue to attach his penis to his stomach.
Each woman is charged with being party to false imprisonment, a felony. Ziemann is also charged with fourth-degree sexual assault, a misdemeanor.
The Associated Press is not naming the Fond du Lac man to protect his identity as an alleged victim of sexual assault.
Ziemann is schedule to appear in court on Aug. 24 along with one of the other women. The two other women will appear in court on Aug. 17 and Sept. 8.

Actually truth...yes I would. If you are stupid enough to commit adultery then you deserve to get caught. Yeah the women could have just got him in the room and watched him make an ass of himself trying to explain, but they decided to sexually assault him.

Monica, you're right that they deserve what ever punishment they have coming. Imagine if a man had super glued a woman's vagina. I highly doubt that he would get an interview on the Today show, or that the media would paint him as being a victim himself. It's simply ignorance that continues this double standard for how male and female sexual predators are portrayed in the media. Someday it will stop. I only hope it is my life time.

Ok... I'm torn on this one. Not like this guy thankfully though. LOL The problem here is you can see both sides. Was this guy a sleaze and deserve to be busted, humiliated, and dumped like yesterday's trash by his wife and girlfriend? ABSOLUTELY! Was it their right get retribution in the form of a physical assault? ABSOLUTELY NOT! And for that, they deserve to get the same punishment that any man would receive for a similar attack on a woman.

Let's hope that the justice system will work in this case and if what happened is true... that they are put in prison for a long time. Justifying that their actions are warranted would be to justify that violence is acceptable. No tolerance for sexual assaults should apply to both men AND women predators. Anything else is sexist and wrong!

Gotta agree with Chuck, If it were 3 men they would up a creek with no paddles and a canoe with a million holes and a 300 lb person. What he did was wrong but this could be a real example of how women can get away easier than men. Dont want to start a whole nother situtation, but you gotta look at it from all angles....

I'm sorry but I find this slightly amusing :) Guy is cheating on his wife and his gf and they felt they needed to 'teach' him a lesson. I am in no way condoning this but I can still find it amusing. Good thing his wife wasn't Mrs. Bobbit:) LOL

4th degree sexual asault, realy?
If the sexes were revesed, 3 men would have gotten more than 4th degree just for so much as touching let alone using chemicals on a woman. Women never receice half the punishment men do even when they molest thier students.

EMMO46 - Krazy glue vs Super Glue. Which holds better the longest? This could be the start of a new reality show.

"Ziemann said the women were simply victims."
The four women and the "Super Glue" guy are all "victims" of their own stupidity.
