Retired vicar admits role in 'Eunuch Maker' extreme body modification ring
A retired vicar has admitted taking part in an extreme body modification ring run by a man calling himself the Eunuch Maker.
Reverend Geoffrey Baulcomb, 79, pleaded guilty to GBH with intent after using a pair of scissors to carry out a surgical procedure on a man's penis in January 2020.
He was captured in a nine-second video performing the makeshift op, which involved the enlarging the opening of a man's urethra.
Baulcomb previously admitted to distributing an indecent photo of a child in March 2020 and three counts of making indecent images of children on or before December 2022.
He also pleaded guilty to three counts of possessing extreme pornographic images, amounting to 195 images.
The images are linked to the self-styled 'Eunuch Maker' Marius Gustavson, who mutilated paying customers and streamed it online.
Norwegian Gustavson, who had his own penis cut off, a nipple removed and his leg frozen so it had to be amputated, was jailed for life with a minimum term of 22 years.
His penis was found in a drawer in his home almost four years after it had been amputated.
Baulcomb was arrested in connection with the incident in December 2022.
He was ordained as a priest in 1970 and worked in Chichester, West Sussex, according to the Church of England website.
Judge Nigel Lickley KC granted Baulcomb conditional bail, ordering him not to attend any Church of England premises or functions and to have no contact with children under the age of 18. More Trending
Prosecutor Caroline Carberry said: 'This defendant is not deemed a flight risk by the police in this case.
'He has been on bail for a really long period of time now.'
The judge told the defendant the seriousness of the GBH offence meant he would receive 'a custodial sentence of some length'.
Baulcomb will be sentenced at the same court on September 1.

‘Vigilantes' murdered innocent dad-of-one they thought was a paedophile
Two men murdered a dad-of-one they mistakenly thought was a paedophile. Mark Roberts and David Garland killed Michael Wheeler after they found news reports about a man – also called Michael Wheeler – who sexually abused two 13-year-old girls in 2003. Prosecuting, David Elias, KC, said Mr Wheeler, 37, from Yeovil, Somerset, was not the same person and had no convictions for child sexual offences. He was also friends with both men but owed £100 to Roberts. When Mr Wheeler disappeared, his mum was suffering from a terminal illness and passed away before she found out what happened to her son. Bristol Crown Court heard Mr Wheeler was attacked at Roberts' flat in August last year, and suffered 11 skull and facial fractures. Garland and Roberts then hid his body, and three weeks after Mr Wheeler's death, police received information he had come to serious harm. They found no proof of his being alive after 24 August 2024. One of the last sightings of him was on CCTV at a petrol station just a few hours before his death. His remains were eventually found in a derelict caravan on farmland in Yarlington on Wednesday 25 September. Detective Superintendent Lorett Spierenburg said: 'Michael Wheeler was brutally murdered by people he had considered as friends. More Trending 'He was killed over a £100 debt and because they wrongly decided he had been jailed for child sex offences in 2003, when he would have been just 16 years old. 'The defendants gave Michael no opportunity to tell them they were wrong. Instead, they took the life of a man whose last words to his ex-wife were of love for her and their daughter.' Roberts, 39, of Juniper Close, and Garland, 40, of no fixed abode, were both remanded in custody pending a sentencing hearing, expected to be Friday 13 June.

Putin unleashes aerial glide bombs in 'most powerful attack of entire war'
To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Vladimir Putin has unleashed his 'most powerful attack of the entire war' on the Ukrainian city of Kharkiv. Missiles and drones pounded the northeastern city, located about 19 miles from the Russian border, killing three people and injuring as many as 21. Aerial glide bombs – which fly over long distances after being released by planes – were also deployed in the attack, the latest in near daily widescale assaults by Russia. Mayor Ihor Terekhov wrote at 2am on Telegram: 'Kharkiv is currently experiencing the most powerful attack in the entire time of the full-scale war. 'As of this moment, at least 40 explosions have been heard in the city in an hour and a half. More Trending 'The enemy is simultaneously striking with missiles, 'Shaheds' [drones] and guided aerial bombs.' Terekhov said 18 blocks of flats and 13 private homes were damaged in the attack. Citing preliminary data, he said Russia deployed 48 Shahed drones, two missiles and four aerial glide bombs. The intensity of the Russian attacks on Ukraine over the past weeks has further dampened hopes that the warring sides could reach a peace deal soon – especially after Ukraine recently embarrassed the Kremlin with a surprising drone attack on military airfields deep inside Russia.

Gynaecologist who raped dozens of patients & secretly filmed examinations for almost 20 years is jailed in Norway
A harrowing total of 94 women testified during the trial DOCTOR JAILED Gynaecologist who raped dozens of patients & secretly filmed examinations for almost 20 years is jailed in Norway Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A DOCTOR who raped dozens of patients and secretly filmed examinations for almost two decades has been jailed in Norway. A court on Friday sentenced Arne Bye, 55, to 21 years in prison in a case that has shocked the Scandinavian country. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 A court on Friday sentenced Arne Bye, 55, to 21 years in prison 3 Grim video footage was recovered in the police probe 3 Cameras had been set up in his examination room Former GP Bye was found guilty of committing 70 counts of rape and sexual assault during gynecological examinations of his patients between 2004 and 2022. He was also condemned for 80 instances of abuse of his position as a doctor. Close to all of the offences occurred during medical examinations that Bye carried out on his patients whilst working as a physician at his medical practice in the small town of Frosta in central Norway. The court in the city of Trondelag banned Bye from exercising his medical profession indefinitely and demanded he financially compensate his victims. A harrowing total of 94 women testified during the trial, describing how wicked Bye committed multiple acts of non-consensual touching and digital penetration without medical justification. The acts all constitute rape under Norwegian law. Addressing the court on Friday, Judge Espen Haug reportedly said: "The suspect's actions make this case an extremely serious one. The actions are unacceptable. "The defendant's actions happened in a place and setting where people are supposed to feel safe. "His actions have undermined public trust in the health service as well as doctors in general." The 55-year-old defendant stood up and appeared calm as the maximum sentence was handed to him. France's 'worst paedophile ever' goes on trial as surgeon accused of abusing 299 victims & declaring 'I'm a paedo & proud' The sentence matched the one requested by the prosecution. Bye's defense had argued for lesser sentence, recognising only 20 of the rapes. Bye also filmed the assaults. Cops seized over 6,000 hours of footage during their investigation, including of his gynaecological examinations. Bye was shown to have inserted a "deodorant-like", "bottle-like" and a cylindrical object into the women - with no medical reason for doing so. One woman, speaking to the court last November, said: "I thought I was going to die". Another unnamed woman said she had gone in to her GP's office for a sore throat - before being given one of the invasive examinations. She told how she ended up in her underwear on a bench, saying: "I thought that he is my doctor, so I did as he said." The indictment against Bye says the alleged assaults "happened quickly and unexpectedly" during the examinations. Concerns were raised about him as long ago as 2006 - by another doctor in the gynaecology ward at a local hospital. One of Bye's patients, who was there for further treatment, said her doctor had massaged her genitals during the exam. Bye was able to keep his job until the following year when charges were filed.
