NEWPORT, N.C. (WAVY) — A North Carolina woman has been charged with malicious castration after she allegedly severed her husband’s penis.
Deputies also charged Victoria Frabutt, 56, of Newport, with kidnapping.
The Carteret County Sheriff’s Office said deputies were called to the couple’s home around 4 a.m. Tuesday. James Frabutt, 61, reported that his wife tied him up, then pulled out a knife.
