A Montreal woman who poured fondue fuel over her sleeping boyfriend and lit his penis on fire has been sentenced to four years in prison. Quebec Judge Louis Legault sentenced Andrée René, 44, to 30 more months in prison, crediting her with 18 months for the time she has already served. René must also undergo psychological counselling for alcohol abuse and aggression while she's in prison, and is prohibited from owning guns or combustible materials for 10 years after being released. The sentencing ends a six-year saga that started in April 2001 when René was dating Guillaume Pungu. The couple had spent an evening of drinking and arguing when René poured fondue fuel over Pungu's body while he was sleeping. He awoke when René set him on fire, scorching his abdomen and genitals. Pungu suffered third-degree burns and was hospitalized for a week, followed by a month of rehabilitation. Pungu, who died last year of unrelated causes, was traumatized physically and psychologically by René's attack, lawyers said. He suffered insomnia and nightmares, was scared of lighters and fire, and had problems with intimacy. "He had difficulties entering into other relationships after the incident," Crown prosecutor Steeve Larivière said Wednesday. René was arrested after the 2001 assault and eventually released on bail pending her trial. She was arrested again after she failed to appear in court in November 2006 for her sentencing arguments. During the sentencing arguments, the court heard René has a history of behavioural problems, has been a victim of abusive relationships and harbours deep anger towards men.

I dont even own one and I agree with that assessment. I think she needs to have something torched as a part of her therapy:biggrin1:
I can't believe she only got four years, let's have her twat set ablaze. I don't care what's going on in her head, she knows better than to set the fucker's dick on fire. Why can't people just leave when it's time to be over?
Great balls of fire or Ring of fire. Just some of the songs that where played at his funeral:wink: The New York Times also said they had a screening of Blazzing Saddles because it was his favorite movie
Fondue fuel indeed: http://www.strawdonkeys.com/Images/Stuff_Images/Article_Images/Doji_Images/flaming_penis.jpg
I don't care what her "issues" are, or that she has been a victim of abusive relationships for that matter...so what? So have I and so have countless others but that doesn't give her the ok to light up someone's penis! I think she should have had a much more severe sentence.
I agree. Only 1 out of 10 women ever reports sexual assault because of the shit the courts put them through with trying to ruin their credibility, essentially victimizing and violating them all over again...when I see someone use abuse as an excuse for something so heinous, it makes my blood boil because there will never be justice in this world for those that deserve it because of the defense of the actions of of those like her.
