If I was a science fiction writer, I couldn't make this up - Man gets probation for girlfriend being stuck to toilet

Scenario: A redneck family in Kansas begins arguing 2 years ago over who drank the last year. As the man threatens his girlfriend, she because reclusive and hides in the toilet.

Characters: Kory, Girlfriend

Key Props: A Toilet

Action!

NESS CITY, Kan. - A man whose girlfriend sat on a toilet for so long
that the seat adhered to her body will spend six months on probation.

Kory McFarren pleaded no contest last month to a misdemeanor count of
mistreatment of a dependent adult. A judge sentenced him Tuesday to six months
in jail but granted the probation after the victim, Pam Babcock, asked for
leniency."She didn't believe that her circumstances were his fault," Ness County
Attorney Craig Crosswhite said.

Babcock's plight became known in February when McFarren called the Ness
County sheriff, expressing concern about his live-in girlfriend. When
authorities arrived, they found Babcock physically stuck to the toilet.McFarren
told police Babcock had refused to come out of the bathroom for two years.

Medical personnel estimated she'd been sitting on the toilet for at least a
month and said the seat had adhered to sores on her body.She is now under the
protection of a guardian who was appointed through the legal department at the
hospital where she received treatment.

Also Tuesday, McFarren was sentenced to six months in jail for an unrelated
charge of lewd and lascivious behavior for exposing himself to a teenage
neighbor in March. (This part builds character.)
