Mexico Man Puts Girlfriend in Real-Life Chastity Belt

October 11, 2013

Veracruz, Mexico - Talk about insecurity!

A 40 year old Veracruz, Mexico man, who just couldn't trust his girlfriend, put a padlock on the 25 year old woman's pants to keep her from cheating on him.

For more than a decade, the man locked his girlfriend’s pants shut every morning when he left for work for fear she would be unfaithful.

The woman finally alerted police late last month when she desperately needed to use the bathroom but couldn’t unlatch the padlock - and was too afraid to cut her pants open.

The woman had been living with her boyfriend since she was 13 years old in Zacatlame, Mexico, a rural area in the eastern state of Veracruz. Authorities say the act had been going on during their entire 12 years together, until the woman finally called the police on September 28th.

When officers tracked the boyfriend down, he admitted to locking the woman’s pants, gave cops the key, and was taken into custody. He was arrested on a misdemeanor charge but was released a few hours later when the girlfriend refused to press charges.

The following day, the suspect signed a statement promising never again to use a padlock on his girlfriend or abuse her in any other way again.

So if you thought chastity belts only existed in Medieval tales - think again.
