Sex bomb: Jilted lover arrested for 'making exploding sex toy to send to ex-lover for Christmas'

Accused: Terry Allen Lester has been charged after police found an explosive sex toy in his luggage

A jilted lover has been arrested after he allegedly wedged gunpowder, buck shot and BB shot into a sex toy to make it explosive.

Police claim that Terry Allen Lester planned to hand the device, found in a container labelled ‘Christmas Gifts’, to one of three ex-girlfriends over Yuletide.

The 37-year-old from Waseca, Minnesota, has been charged with felony creation, possession of an explosive or incendiary device and felony terroristic threats.

He faces a maximum penalty of 10 years imprisonment and a £13,000 fine if convicted.

On New Year’s Day police officer Kari Kalow responded to a call about a civil matter and went to a residence in Waseca.

According to the woman who made the call, Mr Lester had been residing with her and another woman at her apartment – but he was forced to leave hastily when the manager learned about him staying.

Mr Lester was evicted from the apartment on New Year’s Eve, but he left behind some bags – and he had told one of the women what was in the luggage.

The contents of the bags made the women uncomfortable so they contacted the police and took them to Mrs Kalow.

One of the bags included a container with the words ‘Christmas Gifts’ written in black marker – and in there were some sex toys.

According to the criminal complaint, Mr Lester had made some modifications to a sex toy.



He allegedly put gun powder, BB shot and buck shot from shotgun shells into one with black and red wires that connected to a trigger with a battery port. However there was no battery inside the device.

The complaint went on to say that Mr Lester planned on giving it to one of three women – in each of those cases, the relationship had ended badly.

Also left at the apartment were tools used in the construction of the explosive device, including cords, cables, a small tool kit and two other sex toys.

The Bloomington Bomb Squad was contacted by Waseca Police Sergeant Scott Girtler.



The squad arrived two hours later and X-rayed the devices after first inspecting them.

The first device, the one shown to Mrs Kalow earlier, had two wires coming out of it that were connected to what appeared to be a trigger from a cordless drill.

The other two devices appeared to be unaltered and checked out.

The bomb squad cut into the first device and removed the projectiles and gunpowder, rendering it inert.

Lester remains in police custody.
