According to KUSA, Pennington used a “scalpel and surgically disconnected and removed the victim’s 2 testicles and then sutured the opening back up.”

This had awful consequences.

The story goes that Pennington agreed to perform the illicit procedure at his “patient’s” apartment and that the transgender woman’s wife was there for the 90-minute surgery.

The wife said that Pennington said to call 911 if something went wrong and something went very wrong.

After changing the dressing post-surgery, KUSA reported, “A large amount of blood poured out of the wound.”

Police detailed in their report that “the testicles could not be re-attached due to the time delay of a procedure to 911 call,” while doctors said “permanent disfigurement” is a likely risk.

As mentioned, Pennington is not a licensed medical professional. Instead, he is a licensed pilot.
