MIAMI -- A Hollywood man has been arrested on charges he sexually battered his girlfriend and tormented her by killing her hamsters, police say.
Joseph Gibbons-Nix, 35, was taken into custody Wednesday on multiple counts of aggravated assault, domestic battery by strangulation, sexual assault and animal cruelty charges, records show.
Gibbons-Nix and his girlfriend have lived together as a couple for seven years, an arrest report said. Gibbons-Nix “intentionally caused bodily harm and forced [the woman] by threat to engage in sexual activities against her will,” the report said.
He kept demanding oral sex, to which she didn’t agree, said Hollywood police spokesman Sgt. Lester Cochenour.

When she gave in to his demands, he complained that she was “not doing it right,” and punched her in the head, face and arms, police said. He also bit her twice, the police report said.
The domestic strangulation charges stemmed from the woman’s near-strangulation, police said. She said that her boyfriend several times “strangled her where her airway was completely blocked and she felt she was going to lose consciousness,” the arrest report said.
Gibbons-Nix also told her that her hamsters were “ungodly creatures,” the report said.

He picked up the smaller of the two hamsters and forcefully threw the hamster on the floor, killing it instantly, the report said. He killed the second hamster by throwing it and striking it with a shoe, the report said.
The woman was abused over several days, the report said. But Wednesday, the woman had gotten so worried that her boyfriend would kill her, she told him she was leaving the apartment to get coffee, the report said. She walked to a gas station and phoned police.


What an ungodly pervert. I'm so glad she got out and made the call.
This moron would fit right into the Pakistani Taliban. What's his ethnicity?
Sick
She was abused for several days, but all she had to do to escape was lie about a coffee run? What's amiss here?
hey F head, come up to North Hollywood and I'll beat some manners out of your A.
I wonder how many times we can slam him into the ground before he dies...
Hm. I was with him until he bit her. That's just tacky. And hamsters are no fun without duct tape.
Not very comforting when the creeps like you come out of the woodwork. You should be in prison. Disgusting animals like you live among us, unfortunately.
I don't know why the asylums cannot be brought back so this outcast from life's feast and Chirs150 can be put away. They can do whatever they want to each other and leave the normal citizens alone.
Hard to feel bad for the woman. Let me guess, she knew he was a scumbag, but thought she could change him. It's not like someone that sadistic is a mystery, she knew who she was with.
I do feel bad for the hamsters though, they were just innocent bystanders in it all.
Killing hamsters? Gee, what a real man. where can i find one? *please note sarcasm* the freaking loser

I am just sitting here shaking my head. So many things wrong about this story. Not really National News....I suppose the Triple Hamicide makes it so.
Sorry..... Double Hamicide.
He wouldn't have dared go to sleep. He would've woke up in intensive care. You can ask my son's daddy about that. He finally left. He was afraid that if he kept up his bull$hit, I'd kill him. He was right.
I hope when they let this bum out of jail, they let the woman know first There's probably a good chance that she might want to pick him up and take him home.
Disgusting part is this guy now has more rights than anyone else. We are lucky the sick SOB shooter in CT killed himself, otherwise just like this scumbag, we'd be hearing all the crap that could be mustered about how it's not their fault.
Not true that he "has more rights than anyone else." We just have to have our sentences longer and tougher on the creeps of America.
Here we have an example of a total waste of skin and air.
Sure there is no mental health crisis in the US!
Please lock these psychos up! What is happening to people in America? I think the real men of America need to stand up, and teach boys to be real men.
Real men protect women, children, and animals. Real men care about people. Real men don't have to try to control people to feel like real men.
Please, those of you who are real men, help our country out. Too many men abusing and controlling women and children. Too many men leaving families because they don't want to take responsibility for their families and run off with young women. Too many men in our society just don't care about anyone except themselves. Men are supposed be the "guidance" and supporters of our society. A great many American men are failing women, children, animals, and America!
You know the difference between a gerbil & a hamster???
I am pretty sure there's more dark meat on a hamster.
It'as shame she didn't have a pet Alligator to bite his snake off or she could have too as payback.
