Paul Catterall, a serial rapist suffering from testicular cancer has had his testicles removed while in prison custody.
The
24-year-old United Kingdom man was diagnosed with testicular cancer
after he was sentenced to eight years in prison for sexually assaulting
an 18-year-old woman July, 2014 as well as a 2009 sexual assault.
A court appointed doctor had to carry out the operation that castrated him.
The
attack that landed him in prison happened when Catterall, high on
cocaine and a significant amount of alcohol, got physical with the
teenager in an alleyway after she denied his advance to kiss her. He
reportedly threw the woman to the ground before removing her clothes and
raping her.
The woman escaped, running naked for
help as Caterrall chased her. The teenager was greatly affected by the
rape and had to be treated for depression.
She had told the court during Catterall's sentencing:
"Initially
when I arrived home, I stayed in the bath and constantly scrubbed my
body because I felt dirty. I scrubbed so hard I made myself bleed. This
person has completely destroyed my life. I feel like a prisoner in my
own home."
