“And it continued again and again and again with (her) doing nothing to stop it.” “In a city not easily shocked, this is a case that stands out in unspeakable brutality,” Paul Leishman told the court. In a downtown courtroom Thursday, the man’s lumpen wife - her name can’t be published by court order to protect the identity of her husband - sat in a prisoner’s box as the Crown attorney urged the judge to sentence her to a stiff 10 years behind bars. Siscoe and the woman have pleaded guilty to numerous charges including aggravated assault, sexual assault causing bodily harm and failing to provide the necessities of life. The brutality was so horrific that Justice John McMahon noted when he revoked her bail that it was the worst case of physical abuse he had ever seen in his long career. Forced to sleep in a closet five by two feet, he lost 50 pounds and suffered a fractured skull, punctured lungs and five broken ribs. He was stomped on with steel toe boots, beaten with a hammer and sliced with razor blades, his gaping wounds either cauterized with a hot knife or sewn together crudely with needle and thread. Lighter fluid was poured on her husband’s genitals and lit aflame, straight pins were pierced through his scrotum and penis and lips, cartilage was pulled from his ears. “I just feel horrible for what really happened to my husband,” the 32-year-old told the court. For three long months, she watched as her spouse was degraded, beaten and sexually abused by her new boyfriend and said not word. She watched her husband writhing in excruciating pain in the torture chamber of their Toronto apartment and lifted not a finger.
