The Virginia woman found not guilty by reason of insanity after she cut off her husband’s penis has been charged with attacking her mother, the police said today.

Lorena Gallo, 28, who was married to John Wayne Bobbitt in 1993 when the incident took place, now lives with her parents. She is free on $750 bail.

Neighbors told the police that Ms. Gallo’s mother, Elvia Gallo, 49, was watching television on Friday when her daughter started punching her, Lieut. Tim Rudy said today. Ms. Gallo was arrested later at a friend’s house, he said.

Her mother suffered minor injuries, including an abrasion around the eyes and scratches, the police said.

Ms. Gallo is scheduled to be arraigned on Monday, Lieutenant Rudy said. If convicted, she would face a maximum penalty of a year in jail and a $2,500 fine. Ms. Gallo could not be reached for comment.

As far as Lorena’s marital rape accusation, before the June 1993 “beheading” incident, John & Lorena Bobbitt were separated for almost a year & he had lived in New York. The marital rape accusation was a he said she said case. John Bobbitt said that he did not harm nor did he threaten harm his wife as far as sex. John Bobbitt’s version was that he told Lorena in the days preceding the beheading incident was that if she didn’t have sex with him, then he would return to New York & Lorena not wanting him to leave had sex with him. This is not rape if his account is to be believed. Lorena Bobbitt 1st told the cops that she cut off his penis because he raped her & because of years of abuse, but she then told them that she cut off his penis because he did not give her an orgasm! Furthermore, the E.R. Dr. who examined Lorena Bobbitt on June 1993 said that her conduct was inconsistent with that of a rape victim & he found no proof of rape. John Bobbitt should not have been tried for rape in 1993 (for which he was acquitted) but he was mainly because of the publicity which surrounded his case. The jury who acquitted him of the rape charge said that there was insufficient proof.

Yes, John Bobbitt had abused Lorena Bobbitt in the past with the 1990 case of abuse&battery for which he pleaded to. John Bobbitt has also been to jail such as in 1994 for hitting a former girlfriend during a quarrel, yet most people haven’t tried to excuse John Bobbitt’s deeds based on the trauma of getting his penis cut off. As far as the June 1993 case, the jury didn’t judge it based on the series of events leading up to the beheading but rather based on what John Bobbitt had done in the past.

Also as noted, John Bobbitt had also called the cops in the past to report that Lorena Bobbitt had hit him during quarrels & Lorena Bobbitt had a bad temper. Though irrelevant, Lorena Bobbitt had also embezzled money from her employer & Lorena Bobbitt even stole money from John Bobbitt’s friends who earned less money than Lorena Bobbitt did as a hair stylist. That’s right, Lorena Bobbitt stole money from people who made less than she did. In the Bobbitt household, the domestic violence was mutual-both the husband & the wife hit eachother.

As noted, Lorena Bobbitt was arrested in December 1997 for misdemeanor abuse&battery for hitting her mom during a quarrel over money, for which she was acquitted in April 1998, mainly because her mom did not cooperate with the prosecutors during trial & did not want to testify against her daughter. Yes, reasonable doubts were raised because Lorena Bobbitt’s mom did not want her convicted & thus, she wasn’t going to help the prosecutor’s case-the prosecutor admitted that it’s hard to get a conviction when the victim won’t cooperate, but still, it proves that on some points John Bobbitt was right. John Bobbitt was right about Lorena Bobbitt having a violent temper & Lorena Bobbitt’s 1997 arrest for abuse & battery for hitting her own mom shows that he was credible on some points.

What’s sad is that even as Lorena Bobbitt was being arraigned in December 1997 on the abuse&battery charge for hitting her own mom, a girl asked Lorena Bobbitt for her autograph. I’m not here to say John Bobbitt was a nice man, but Lorena Bobbitt beats her own mom up & it’s sad that this website left that fact out.

Also it must be noted that in Dec. 1997, Lorena Bobbitt was arrested for abuse & battery for hitting her OWN MOM during a quarrel over the bills. Yes, she was acquitted in April 1998, mainly because her mom did not want to testify against her, but if Lorena Bobbitt did beat her own mom up, then why do you keep siding with her? Isn’t it evil to beat your own mom up.

John Wayne Bobbitt was right on some points & why do you side with a woman who allegedly hits her own during a quarrel over the bills?

Most women who are in abusive relationships might have had signs prior to things getting serious as to what path it was heading down, but it’s very hard to differentiate the difference between control and concern when someone appears immediately contrite and remorseful after an outburst, whether verbal or otherwise. By the time the abuse becomes physical, the woman’s self-esteem has already been torn down to such a degree that she actually feels as though she deserves it (points back to Dr. Laura), and feels guilty and ashamed, rather than angry and motivated. People who say that “she should have left” or “it’s her fault for staying” only further tear down their self-esteem, and not only hinders the success in these women from leaving their abusers, but also supports the mindset of the abusers themselves.

A woman who commits an act of violence due to the abuse she suffers isn’t doing something right, and MOST of these women recognize that fact, regret it, and will rally behind anti-violence campaigns, such as Lorena did, as opposed to the abusers, whom deny that any abuse ever took place, or, if they admit to it, place the blame solely at the feet of the victims themselves. If you fail to differentiate between the victim who feels remorse for her violent actions, and the abuser who denies any abuse ever occurred, even after more allegations of abuse surface, you’ve chosen, then to encourage more of the negative actions done by both parties.

That would have taken care of his career in “adult movies”.
