An Elmore County man has been arrested on child pornography charges and authorities said today that they confiscated from his home pornographic materials, along with devices used to perform castrations and photographs depicting human castration. (Devices used to perform castrations? Not just knives?) Edward Bodkin served a jail sentence in Indiana in the late 1990s on charges of practicing medicine without a license. At that time, he admitted in court to castrating several men and said he performed the operations because the men wanted to curb their sexual desires. That's what happens when you live in a sexually repressed society mixed with a mental disorder and you think you can "cure" homosexuality.Chester, Chester, the Child Molester... Would that be the line of castration implements endorsed by Lorena Bobbitt? Apparently, Bodkin kept testicles in jars in own apartment, his kitchen to be more specific in Indiana before he brought he medicine show to Alabama. He began advertising his services in the short-lived Ball Club Quarterly magazine, and castrated his "clients" in exchange for their permission to videotape the procedures. They were his trophies.
In a statement to the Indiana court, Bodkin said: "I felt it prudent to spare the court unnecessary time considerations and graphic details regarding this case. Such details might be repugnant to some and a source of folly for others ... My activities were conducted at the specific request of the parties ... to absolve emotional, psychological or physical needs ... not merely the spurious fancy of some alternate lifestyle." This dude is so infamous that he has his own wikipedia page...congratulations!
...and now he's been caught with kiddie porn and MORE castration equipment.
