WAUSAU, Wisconsin – A judge has ruled that there is enough evidence to warrant a trial for four Wisconsin women accused of luring a man to a motel room and tying him to a bed to get back at him for cheating.
The 37-year-old man testified Tuesday that he went to the motel room expecting a romantic interlude with a girlfriend but instead ended up being tied to a bed by the girlfriend and three other women, including his now-estranged wife, and having his penis glued to his stomach.
The women are each charged with being party to felony false imprisonment, a felony. One of them is also charged with misdemeanor sexual assault.
Those charged in the case are: Wendy Sewell, 43, of Kaukauna; Therese Ziemann, 48, of Menasha, Michelle Belliveau, 43, of Neenah, and the man's wife. The Associated Press is not naming the man to protect his identity as an alleged victim of sexual assault.
