Man Pleads Guilty To Giving More Than 3,000 Lethal Butt Injections

A North Carolina man has plead guilty in federal court for giving out butt injections like it was going out of style and even causing the death of one Maryland woman reports The Washington Post:

Taylor was not a doctor and did not have a medical license. He purchased 152 gallons of silicone for his business and made about $1.59 million in revenue, federal prosecutors said.

Taylor, 44, of Wilmington, N.C., pleaded guilty to federal fraud charges for administering the illegal injections Thursday, agreeing to serve 12 to 15 years in prison as part of an agreement with prosecutors.

Taylor administered the silicone buttocks injections in hotel rooms in Maryland, Virginia, Missouri and elsewhere, charging customers from $800 to $1,000 for an initial visit and $350 to $800 for repeat business, according to court papers filed in U.S. District Court in Maryland.

“After injecting the silicone, Taylor used super glue and cotton balls to prevent the silicone from leaking and wrapped her buttocks in plastic wrap,” the plea agreement states in describing the process.

Taylor injected food-grade silicone — designed for processing and packaging — into the women seeing him, but told them it was medical-grade silicone, court documents said. He told one woman that “silicone is not harmful if it is injected into you.”

In the case of injections Taylor administered in Maryland, at a Prince George’s County hotel room in March 2014, the woman began having problems breathing after she left. She was taken to a local hospital, where she later died.
