You might have heard this story back in 2017 when the incident took place… the November 25 2017 attack made headlines around the world at the time. Well today, an accountant from Argentina has been jailed for 13 years for cutting off her lover’s penis with garden shears during bondage sex.

Brenda Barattini, 28, was found guilty of the attempted murder of musician Sergio Fernandez, 42, following a trial in the Argentinian city of Cordoba. The convict confessed she had planned the attack, but said she had not intended to kill her victim. The 13-year sentence, decided by the three trial judges was unanimous.

She revealed in court she hatched a plot to harm Fernandez after he shared sex tapes and X-rated pics of her with friends, claiming he treated her like a ‘trophy’ and telling a jury of four men and four women during her trial: ‘He turned me into a sex object. I was just a s**g for him. ‘He infringed my privacy, my life and my career. Everything has been ruined.’

The victim said Barattini struck after getting him to put a blindfold on, recalling: ‘After she put the blindfold on she told me I had to guess where she was touching me’.

‘She also wanted to tie me up but I didn’t let her. She began to practice oral sex on me. I suddenly felt something. She wanted to kill me in that second.’

Barattini was dubbed the Argentinian Lorena Bobbitt in some sectors of the Argentinian press when the attack happened. She initially claimed she was defending herself from a sex assault after being fooled into letting Sergio into her apartment before changing her story.

Around 90 per cent of his penis was sheared off along with a testicle. Sergio, who spent eight days in a coma after being assaulted, said his manhood is now ‘different’ and he stills suffers panic attacks and insomnia as well as a constant feeling women want to kill him if he has sex.

Barattini, who has been held in prison since the attack, is expected to appeal. Her defence lawyer said the decision was ‘unheard of’ in Argentina outside court, insisting: ‘No-one has ever been convicted in this country of attempted murder for a penis wound.’

So there you have it folks… what have we learned form all this…

Blindfolded, is just not worth it.
