Man jailed for five days for assaulting wife with his penis after she refused to have sex with him

Judge: Justice Jeffrey Hjelm, pictured, was told by Thomas' lawyer: 'This was not his normal conduct.'

A man struck his estranged wife with his penis when she refused him sex.

The 62-year-old offered her £15 for intercourse and, when she refused, he took out his penis and struck her with it, according to the prosecution.



Fred Thomas, from Cushing, Maine, U.S., will spend five days in jail after pleading guilty to the assault.

He will also be on probation for a year for domestic violence assault and indecent conduct.



A third charge of unlawful sexual contact was dismissed.

The incident in July in the town of Warren happened when his wife of 39 years, who was estranged from him, stayed at his home.



Defending, Justin Andrus said Thomas was tremendously upset that his marriage of 39 years was ending.



He said his estranged wife was planning to go to Pakistan to meet a man she met online.



'This was not his normal conduct,' Andrus told Justice Jeffrey Hjelm during the sentencing hearing in Knox County Superior Court.

Assistant District Attorney Christopher Fernald asked for Thomas to serve seven days in jail while Andrus asked for just probation and no jail.



Hearing: The hearing at Knox County Superior Court, pictured, was told by the judge a jail term was appropriate in the case.

Hjelm said a jail term was appropriate in this case.

'This was sexually aggressive conduct. This couldn't be much more offensive,' Hjelm said.
