Mississippi Professor Gets Jail for Covering Son With Ants, Hot Sauce
Tuesday, November 21, 2006
JACKSON, Miss. — A college business professor who allegedly punished one of his children by covering the boy with ants and putting pepper juice in his eyes has been sentenced to two years in prison for child abuse.
Hinds County Circuit Judge L. Breland Hilburn sentenced Alcorn State University professor Festus Oguhebe on Monday to five years in prison with three years suspended and two to serve.
Oguhebe, a Byram resident, pleaded no contest in October to one count of child abuse. With a no contest plea, a defendant is not admitting guilt, but is not contesting the charges.
The judge allowed Oguhebe to remain free on bond until Jan. 5.
Oguhebe, a native of Nigeria, was arrested in March 2005 on five counts of felony child abuse, stemming from the bizarre punishment methods he allegedly used on his 11-year-old son.
The punishment included "placing him in a bathtub, then putting hot pepper juice in his eyes, on his penis and buttocks; and also by tying his hands behind his back and covering his body with ants," according to court records.
Oguhebe had maintained that he used punishments that were customary in his native Africa.
The children, ages 7 to 13, were allegedly punished by their father for things like not finishing school work and taking food from within the household when they were told to fast, court records reveal.
The professor also was accused of abusing his son by "whipping and striking the child in such a manner as to cause serious bodily injury," according to records filed by Hinds County Assistant District Attorney Jacqueline Purnell.
Affidavits filed in Hinds County Court had claimed the professor beat his children with extension cords, choked and sometimes made them sleep outside as punishments.

Too bad he wasn't teaching parenting classes. America's kids need tough love.

Then go back to Africa, otherwise, go to jail.

Exactly:

I think this crosses the subtle line between "tough love" and torture. Just sick.

I've had mustard in the eyes - it's horrible. I can't imagine pepper sauce, and I do think this is abuse.
Abuse is defined in North Carolina as anything which requires medical attention - and I suspect that pepper sauce in the eyes might well require prescription medicated eye drops, just based on my past experience with damaging my eyes.

And here I thought hot sauce on the penis, and ants in the bathtub were foreplay.

Maybe it was like food prep. Ants and hot sauce with baby broth isn't that like an African soup?

Regarding "cultural practices".
There was a case here in Canada where some Chinese guy (non-fatally) stabbed his wife. The judge gave him a reduced sentence because of "cultural differences".
Of course, everyone else in the country (including other judges and other Chinese) said that judge was a complete moron.

Is this a case of..."Only in Canada?"

I believe the store chain calls itself "Inbred, Bath, and Beyond" in those locales.

Please. You buncha liars.
Acting like you never boned your hot first cousin.
At least we're honest about it here in Kentucky. And in West Virginia they're downright proud of it.
