A Texas jury on Monday sentenced a woman who cut off her boyfriend's ***** to eight years in prison.
Delmy Ruiz, 49, had testified that she sliced off Rene Aramando Nunez' ***** with a kitchen knife while he slept because she feared him after he raped her.
But prosecutors charged Ruiz was a jealous woman who took revenge because she believed Aramando was cheating on her.
The jury found her guilty of aggravated assault on Friday and came back on Monday for sentencing. She could have faced a maximum of 20 years in jail.
Ruiz will not be eligible for parole until she has served half her sentence and could be deported to El Salvador, her native country, after leaving jail, prosecutors said.
