Ex-girlfriend wants to cut off my penis, man tells court
Magistrate makes him swear he's telling the truth
Domestic violence order granted

A MAN has been granted a court injunction to stop a woman trying to cut off his penis.

Tony Goodchild was granted the domestic violence order against his former girlfriend.

He told Darwin Magistrates Court the woman was trying to hunt him down and threatening to "cut his penis off''. The unusual application caused laughter in the courtroom.

But Mr Goodchild - who was shaking and carrying two backpacks during the hearing - said he had been in hiding in the long grass from his ex since she had "bashed'' him up.

"I'm pretty scared,'' he said.

Mr Goodchild told the court he went out with the woman for four years.

Magistrate Greg Cavanagh made him take an oath in court on the Bible to swear he was telling the truth. "You didn't make it up?'' the magistrate asked.

"No,'' Mr Goodchild said.

Mr Cavanagh told Mr Goodchild he could only grant an interim domestic violence order - preventing his ex-girlfriend from approaching or threatening him - as she was not in court to answer to the case.

Mr Cavanagh adjourned the case for two weeks to give NT police time to serve her with the order.

Mr Goodchild thanked the magistrate and quickly left the courthouse, still clutching the order to his chest as he walked through Darwin's CBD.

My heart goes out to that man and others like him...it's so fucked up what guys go through to get what they need....to even just be believed. It makes me sick. Literally.

They laughed at him? They fucking laughed at him? That's right, threatening to chop of a guy's dick is hilarious!

apparently asking for a restraining order makes men look bad in court-so my liar told me anyways

If a female had accused a man of anything they would have already been out looking for him.

Court grants injunction to stop woman cutting off man's penis

August 15, 2008 12:00am
A MAN was yesterday granted a court injunction to stop a woman trying to cut off his penis.
Tony Goodchild was granted the domestic violence order against his former girlfriend.

He told Darwin Magistrates Court the woman was trying to hunt him down and threatening to "cut his penis off''. The unusual application caused laughter in the courtroom.

(P. LAUGHTER !)

But the Northern Territory News reported Mr Goodchild -- who was shaking and carrying two backpacks during the hearing -- said he had been in hiding in the long grass from his ex since she had "bashed'' him up.

"I'm pretty scared,'' he said. Mr Goodchild (pictured leaving the court with his DVO) told the court he went out with her for four years.

Magistrate Greg Cavanagh made him take an oath in court on the Bible to swear he was telling the truth. "You didn't make it up?'' the magistrate asked.

"No,'' Mr Goodchild said.

Mr Cavanagh told Mr Goodchild he could only grant an interim domestic violence order -- preventing his ex-girlfriend from approaching or threatening him -- as she was not in court to answer to the case.

Mr Cavanagh adjourned the case for two weeks to give NT police time to serve her with the order.

Mr Goodchild thanked the magistrate and quickly left the courthouse, still clutching the order to his chest as he walked through Darwin's CBD.

If ever AH said a truer word.....

I don't know who you are, Sir,

but I can tell you what you are worth.

If your partner were to cut your penis off tonight,

the world would laugh.

I wonder how 'funny' those who laughed would have found it if Mr. Goodchild in response, threatened to cut their balls off?

Somehow, I suspect the grins would have promptly diminished...
