Woman bites off ex-boyfriend’s testicle in alleged self defence

A woman has been convicted of biting off her ex -boyfriend ’ s testicle after he turned down her offer of a threesome .

Nunzia Del Viscio, 43 , was ordered to stay in her home between 10 pm and 6am for six months , and to pay her victim £500 in compensation for the attack ..

Police officers and paramedics rushed to the scene on the night of May 23 last year after receiving a 999 call . When they arrived , they found Del Viscio outside the flat with blood on her teeth and face.

At her trial at Edinburgh Sheriff Court, she claimed she was acting in self-defence when she ripped off 44 -year-old Marcello Palma ’ s testicle with her teeth.

She admitted having drunk a lot of vodka and taken drugs in a nightclub toilet earlier that night .

Palma told the court that they went back to his flat with two other people .
“ We were happy to be together , ” he said, adding : “ We went back to the flat to keep the night going. ”

He told the court that he and the other woman had ‘ sexual relations’ in one room, while Del Viscio and the other man went into another .

But at about 4 am , Palma said , Del Viscio came into his bedroom naked , jumped on the bed and said she wanted a threesome .

He said “ no, ” at which point she started screaming that she wanted a threesome .
Del Viscio then started ‘ destroying’ the flat , he said – at which point he told her to leave .

“ We were insulting each other, and she came against me and bit my left testicle, ” he said.
“ I threw two or three punches and had a finger in her eye to push her away .

“ She drew her head back and my testicle came out . ”.
Once the paramedics arrived , Palma was rushed to the hospital, where his testicle was re -inserted into his scrotum and he had 15 stitches put in .

Sentencing her , Sheriff McCormack called the assault “ very serious , ” and said the curfew would prevent her from taking drugs and drink.
