MIAMI -- A man was arrested for cutting almost all of his girlfriend's nose off after she refused to have sex with him, Fort Lauderdale Police said.
Ricardo Salamanca, from Plantation, faces a charge of aggravated battery causing bodily harm and remained in jail in lieu of $75,000 bail on Wednesday. It wasn't immediately known if he had an attorney.
On Oct. 28, the victim was taken to North Broward Hospital for surgery to have her nose reattached.

"The victim's nose was severed down to the sinus cavity where the victim's nose was only attached by a thread," the complaint affidavit said.
The woman identified Salamanca as the person who did this to her, authorities said.
She said that she had been in a relationship with him, and they lived together, the report said. That night, she had seen him at a Plantation nightclub but went home alone, the affidavit said.
Later, he knocked on the door and she let him in, but he started yelling when she would not have sexual intercourse with him, and he threw her down, trying to place her in a chokehold, the affidavit said.
She told authorities that he couldn't place her in a chokehold and she ran to the front door, according to the affidavit. She remembered being thrown across the room, and then saw that she was bleeding from her face, authorities said.
"That's what you deserve, b****," the affidavit quoted the defendant as saying.
Salamanca left, and she drove herself to the hospital, the report said.
She told authorities that she had been a victim of domestic violence from Salamanca in the past.


Sounds like a charming man. How could anyone resist?
Cut off his nose and his d**k.
God's will, right bible thumpers? He decided to let it happen. Wonderful deity you schmucks devote your lives to.
...Nah! ...Ol' Ricardo is an Obama worshipper.
jbird, you really show how stupid some people can be.
He is a wonderful Deity. Those who truly follow Him would never harm another person. It is denying haters like you who commit these atrocious acts against other human beings. And God gives free will. How else would man have a choice whether to serve God or not?
Why in the world didn't her TWO other dogs jump in and shred the Mastif?!
According to Mr. Romney, it will either grow back, or it was God's Will in the first place. Women are just second-class citizens, in his world of the Mormon Church, the operative word is "barefoot & pregnant", and "family home evenings", but just on Mondays! The grown-ups in this country take a much more serious view of this crime. At least twenty years to life in prison, and a health system that can fix this woman's damage and self-esteme. It's kind of why we are big believers in passing the hat to everyone in this country, rather than just the 99%.
...According to King Obama, the more babies you have, the more free Obamamoney you will get. ...Ol' Ricardo was just doing his part to insist on a raise!
BTW, don't pass the hat my way.
mike has the same level of stupidity as jbird in post 56.
Mike, You make me lose hope in the human race. Seriously
Why didn't the womans two other dogs jump in and shred the Mastiff?! Poor Lady.
Wrong story dummy.
Did you know the french nuns were so afraid of the Viking warriors they would cut off their own noses to make themselves ugly when an attack was imminent.
Speaking of which, French nun porn...Now there's something we can all support!
From now on, how will she be able to tell when he's lying?
Kill him.....simple.
piece of garbage has no right to exist with humans.
Some males are just pathetic emotional weaklings who think they have the right to do anything they want to women and children. Ricardo Salamanca should never be allowed to have sex ever again for fear he'll reproduce.
We could get something done by the republician house saying NO-NO-NO-NO, if we hire him to over see the votes.
Deb, you show that stupid is not confined to the sex of the person.
It appears Deb is sitting home alone, drinking and trying to follow a discussion while wasted. Could be drugs instead of alcohol.
Not funny. But too funny.... Women loved it when Lorena Bobbit cut her husband (or was it lover's) dick off and threw it along a highway. This could be your neighbor or your lover.
Get what you can get. What goes around comes around. Be careful what you wish for...
This is wrong. But the "idea" seeds have been planted.
I really an thinking about getting a 357...
No, not every woman thought Lorena Bobbit was funny and not every woman thought she should be judged incompetent and let out shortly after this occurred.
Well, I did. Go, Lorena!
My prayers go out to Salamanca who has managed to keep a woman from smelling any more.
castrate the b*stard
WHAT IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE!!! This is just deplorable. There are just a lot of sick fu#king people out there running around. I feel so sorry for the woman. No means NO! case closed. Since there has been history of domestic violence on his part before towards her, I hope this is a wake-up call for her to do whatever she needs to do to get him out of her life permanently.
Why is this front page news?
Wait. Did he CUT her nose off, or did he throw her into something that cut her nose off? The description is very ambiguous.
He was just doing what the Asians already know- Cut off the rhino horn, grind it up and it makes a great aphrodisiac.
He was just testing this out. The rhinos do without, so can she.
All the Cuban lads say it's muy caliente!
Remove his cock all the way to the roots, remove his prostate and ejaculatory ducts, but LEAVE HIS TESTICLES INTACT! Let his sex drive be raging inside without a thing to do to help himself. That, together with his 'friends' in prison, will literally make his life, albeit a short one, a living Hell! Make sure he is awake to see his former body parts chopped in a Cuisinarts DLCX-Pro; that's the big one!
And if he had raped her and impregnated her, the Republican party would have insisted she have his baby and in most states would have to have contact with him thereafter because no matter what the "manner of conception" he has parental rights.
Anita, you show that stupid is not confined to the sex of the person.
What a STUPID comment. Since she was living with him you can intelligently assume they were having sex in the relationship. So she was WILLING to take the pregnancy risk. Anita, you are so full of bigoted hate you make yourself out to be a fool.
Can you also assume what kind of birth control they might be using during consensual sex? Was she on the pill? Did they use condoms or diaphragms? Some other barrier method that might not occur in the course of forced sex? The rhythm method? She is supposed to be grateful that he only disfigured her instead of raping her?
What I am full of is disgust with reactionaries who think rape is just another method of conception and that a bunch of fanatic old men know better what should be decided for women than the women themselves. Tell me that the Ryans, Santorums, Murdocks, Akins, Walshs, Coulters of this country would give a woman in this situation the right to make this decision for herself just because her attacker disfigured her? Go ahead - tell me they give a damn about this if the victim is impregnated! At that point, she becomes completely irrelevant compared to a zygote.
this guy's what's called a "scumbag"...
An eye for an eye a nose for a nose. They ought to slice this guys nose of so he knows how it feels. Take his balls too while you're at it. What a low life, good for nothing devil boy.
Take a good look at this man's face, and never forget it.
The Justice system fails every time. Not only did they
set his bail at less than what her bill will be, for plastic
surgery to re-attach her nose, but they never even bothered
to find out if this man is a flight risk?
Whoever the Judge is, in this case, needs to put some starch
in their spine, and sentence this perverted maniac to 75 years
behind bars, no parole!
As for the victim of this crime? She needs to take herself to
the local Sheriff's office, and sign up for a concealed carry permt.
Once she completes the background check, the classroom and
range course, hopefully she will have the means to protect herself
from his type. Next investment, is an alarm system with cameras,
and a vicious Belgian Malinoise, or German Shepherd, to "greet" this
guy, should he ever come back. She has the right to live in peace,
and feeling sorry for dirtbags like him, is when people sign their own
death warrants. She almost lost her nose, forever, she doesn't need
to lose her life in the process of feeling sorry for this scum bucket. Send
him back to wherever he came from, and deny him re-entry to this Country.
Oh ,I bet he's just as American as you or I. 40 cal to each knee.Once he gets numb,a sword through the gut,not a kill thrust though,more like a refresher
No, not the nose. When she refuses sex, you cut off the ear. You only mess with the nose when she steals your Rollex.
