Update: Man who was arrested for cutting off his pregnant ex-girlfriend n!pples, sentenced to 45 years in Prison
A man who was arrested for assaulting and cutting off his pregnant
ex-girlfriend n!pples in October 2016, has been sentenced to 45 years in
prison
45-year-old Tony Ledbetter of Sioux Falls who had pleaded guilty to
three counts of aggravated assault, was sentenced on Tuesday.
On the said day of the incident, Police reports indicated that
Ledbetter visited the victim at her house to address their relationship,
but turned into a violent scene when the suspect punched the victim in
the face, slammed her head onto the ground multiple times, and pinned
her down by the throat, forcing a blanket into her mouth, before cutting
off her n!pples with scissors.
As part of a plea deal, prosecutors agreed to ask for no more than
30 years at his sentencing. But the Argus Leader reports that Judge Doug
Hoffman went against the plea agreement and gave Ledbetter the maximum
45 years.
Remorseful Ledbetter publicly apologized in court, to which the victim responded, “Do you feel like a man?”According to the victim, the incident affected her physically and emotionally.
