Boyfriend of woman stuck to toilet gets probation

The boyfriend of a woman who became stuck to the toilet in Ness City will spend six months on probation.

Kory McFarren pleaded no contest last month to a misdemeanor count of mistreatment of a dependent adult.

The victim, Pam Babcock, had asked the court for leniency; County Attorney Craig Crosswhite said Babcock "didn't believe that her circumstances were his fault."

The Ness County district magistrate granted McFarren probation Tuesday.

Sheriff's deputies found McFarren's girlfriend stuck to the toilet. The seat had adhered to sores on her body after she refused to leave the bathroom for two years.

Relatives said they lived together for 16 years.

McFarren was also sentenced to a consecutive six-month jail term for an unrelated charge of lewd and lascivious behavior for exposing himself to a teenage neighbor in March.
