Florida Woman Accused of Dildo Attack Wants Charges Dismissed
Winnie McCroy READ TIME: 2 MIN.
The Florida woman who was allegedly hit in the face with a dildo during an argument with her girlfriend has had second thoughts due to all of the media attention, and has asked a judge to dismiss the domestic battery charge she filed, describing the coverage of the incident as an "indescribable" humiliation.
The Smoking Gun reports that in a (very poorly written) July 29 letter to Circuit Court Judge Grissinger, Gamze Capaner-Ridley said that her partner Annette Kielhurn was a "kind, compassionate human being" who "truly doesn't deserve to suffer more than she already has."
The two partners had nearly come to blows on July 11, when Capaner-Ridley was moving out, and the women began arguing over their possessions. After fighting over a dress, the two began arguing over a dildo and who it belonged to.
EDGE reported on the original attack, which took place at the home of 57-year-old Kielhurn and her partner, 47-year-old Capaner-Ridley.
Kielhurn was reportedly arrested while Clearwater Police Department Officer Eric Blomgren watched Capaner-Ridley move her belongings from the home, having filed for civil domestic violence injunction against Kielhurn the previous day.
"Shortly afterwards the defendant intentionally shoved a 'dildo' in the victim's face and grabbed her right arm while arguing who it belonged to," Blomgren said in a police report. "Due to the defendant grabbing the victim and committing the battery in my presence, the defendant was arrested for domestic battery."
In her letter, Capaner-Ridley stated that Kielhurn was "very emotional and upset that I was leaving," but added that she "never felt in danger" during the confrontation with Kielhurn, who has Capaner-Ridley's first name tattooed on her chest.
Blomgren then arrested Kielhurn for domestic battery. Kielhurn, a former New York State corrections officer, was booked on a misdemeanor charged and was released from custody after posting $500 bond.
This is hardly Kielhurn's first brush with the law; she had been arrested in late June for trespassing after she refused to leave the vape lounge Johnny Vapors in a pending case, and also served about three years in prison for narcotic trafficking in 1996 after police found 25 kilos of cocaine in her rental car.
