It’s arguably the only time a man, let alone a man in jail, has wanted to tell the world he has a small penis.

Much was made of Jacques “Porkchop” Rouschop’s penis — notably its size — at his rape-and-choking trial on Tuesday, where he took the stand for a second day to insist he is innocent, claiming his penis is way too small to have committed vicious sex crimes against two Vanier prostitutes.

“It’s my only defence,” Rouschop told the jury.

The accused choker-rapist said he’s been humiliated by international headlines for mounting his small-penis defence but that it’s the only way he can prove his innocence in the she-said, he-said case absent of DNA evidence, rape kits, or independent witnesses.

The jury was shown photographs of his one-inch penis, which measures two inches erect, according to the nurse who volunteered to take the delicate measurements.

Under cross-examination, assistant Crown attorney Meaghan Cunningham noted that the smaller his penis is, the stronger his defence case is. Cunningham again and again questioned the size of his penis, claiming that he “controlled the experiment” — referring to the times a nurse visited him at the Innes Road jail with a tape measure and camera. Cunningham questioned whether Rouschop’s penis was fully erect when it was measured.
