Penis Piercing Parents Face up to Ten
Years
In Pryor, Oklahoma, Mayes County prosecutors
have filed felony counts against a local man
and a couple for allegedly binding the couple's
8-year-old boy and piercing his genitals with
a hog ring. Authorities said 36 yr old jimmy
Elrod, his wife 38 yr old Denise Elrod, and
their house-mate 37 yr old Robert Crane, were
charged earlier this week with injury to a child
and lewd molestation. The Elrods are the adoptive
parents of the boy and his 9-year-old sister.
Following the arrest, the siblings were removed
from Crane's home and placed in protective custody.
Authorities arrested the Elrods and Crane after
the boy was examined by a doctor at Tulsa's
juvenile justice center. Denise Elrod told deputies
that the boy was tied up at night to stop him
from masturbating, and that the hog ring was
applied for the same reason. Crane and the Elrods
are each being held on $200,000 bail and are
facing a prison sentence of ten years.
