We report on a case of extreme sexual self-mutilation in which the subject inflicted severe trauma to his genitalia and then falsely reported a sexual assault. The 30-year-old white male did not report the incident for 10 days and then checked into a hospital. The hospital called the Westminster Police Department after the subject reported that he was the victim of a sexual assault in our city. This case is unusual in that the subject's initial behavior and story did not indicate deception. It was not until the subject's computer was searched that investigators determined that the injuries were self-inflicted. Without this critical information the case might still remain open as a sexual assault. This case is reported to broaden our understanding of this behavior and inform investigators of the potential for this type of self-inflicted injury.
我们报告一例极端性自残案件，案中当事人对自己的生殖器造成了严重创伤，随后谎报遭受性侵犯。这位30岁的白人男性在事件发生10天后才报案，然后住进了医院。在当事人报告自己是我市一起性侵犯案的受害者后，医院联系了威斯敏斯特警察局。此案不同寻常之处在于，当事人最初的行为和说法并未显示出欺骗迹象。直到对当事人的电脑进行搜查后，调查人员才确定这些伤势是他自己造成的。如果没有这一关键信息，该案件可能仍会作为一起性侵犯案悬而未决。报告此案是为了拓宽我们对这种行为的理解，并让调查人员了解这种自我伤害行为的可能性。
