Woman Who Bit off Boyfriend's Testicles, back in Court for BreachingRestraining Order

Maria Topp, a mother who was jailed for biting off her partner Martin Douglas's testicles has landed back in court after the pair rekindled their romance.

Martin Douglas required emergency surgery and 19 stitches to re-attach his scrotum after the drunken assault by then-girlfriend Maria Topp.

Topp, 45, admitted unlawfully and maliciously inflicting grievous bodily harm as her trial at Newcastle Crown Court was about to start last October. The mother-of-four was handed a 12-month sentence, suspended for 18 months, plus a restraining order which banned her from contacting Douglas.
However, after a “chance” encounter in Newcastle in March this year, the pair resumed their love affair, but it had fizzled out once more, after Douglas reported Topp's breach of her restraining order.

Appearing in Newcastle Magistrate's Court yesterday, Topp pleaded guilty to breaching a restraining order.
