Woman admits causing man's death by injecting silicone into his penis

The death was ruled a homicide
9 September 2015

A US woman has pleaded guilty to causing a man's death by injecting silicone into his penis.

Kasia Rivera, 38, of East Orange, New Jersey, admitted to delivering the silicone injection that killed Justin Street in May 2011, according to NJ.com.

Authorities say Mr Street went to Rivera's home so that she could inject his penis with silicone, which he hoped would enlarge it.

A medical examiner determined that the 22-year-old died of a silicone embolism, and ruled the death a homicide.

Rivera acknowledged that she wasn't a trained doctor or licensed to administer the injection.

Prosecutors have agreed to recommend a sentence of five years in state prison, and a judge told Rivera she could also be deported back to Jamaica.

Her sentencing was adjourned to October 19.
