When John Wayne Bobbitt was a 21-year-old Marine, he fell in love with a 19-year-old Ecuadorian immigrant named Lorena Gallo. "She was pretty," he told a reporter, "and she had a cute accent. We thought we were in love."
The love lasted until October, 1991, when they separated for a year. They reconciled, and everything seemed to be fine until he came home drunk the night of June 24, 1993. Lorena claims he raped her, so later, as he slept, she took a kitchen knife and castrated him. When he charged her with malicious mutilation, she retaliated with a charge of marital rape. The two resulting trials caused a year-long media frenzy and a field day among sensation-seekers and jokesters.
By the time all that was over in 1994, the surgically repaired Bobbitt was divorced and had begun a new career in the adult film business. That same year he served 12 days in jail for battery of a former fiancee. After paying a $5,000 paternity suit claim to a New York woman in 1995, and serving as a greeter in two bordellos in Nevada, Bobbitt found God. He was ordained minister of a Las Vegas church late in December, 1996. That didnšt seem to have worked out, either, since a recent report says he has moved back to his home town in Niagara, New York to become a comedian.
