New York woman gets 5 years for branding ex-lover with hot iron
Module body
By The Associated Press
NEW YORK - A Manhattan woman who admitted she forcibly branded an "R" on a former lover's body with a hot iron has been sentenced to five years in prison.
Kristina Caban was sentenced for what state Supreme Court Justice Michael Obus called a "bizarre" crime that was "not remotely justifiable." Prosecutors say the 23-year-old hatched the plan against Samir Sara for having sex with her once in 2004 and never calling her again.
Caban enlisted new boyfriend Robert Testagrossa to help brand a 10-centimetre "R" on 23-year-old Samir's abdomen in October 2006.
Caban and Testagrossa pleaded guilty to assault in August 2007.
