WICHITA, Kan. - Authorities are considering charges in the bizarre case of a woman who sat on her boyfriend's toilet for two years — so long that her body was stuck to the seat by the time the boyfriend finally called police.

Ness County Sheriff Bryan Whipple said it appeared the 35-year-old Ness City woman's skin had grown around the seat. She initially refused emergency medical services but was finally convinced by responders and her boyfriend that she needed to be checked out at a hospital.

"We pried the toilet seat off with a pry bar and the seat went with her to the hospital," Whipple said. "The hospital removed it."

Whipple said investigators planned to present their report Wednesday to the county attorney, who will determine whether any charges should be filed against the woman's 36-year-old boyfriend.

"She was not glued. She was not tied. She was just physically stuck by her body," Whipple said. "It is hard to imagine. ... I still have a hard time imagining it myself."

He told investigators he brought his girlfriend food and water, and asked her every day to come out of the bathroom.

"And her reply would be, `Maybe tomorrow,'" Whipple said. "According to him, she did not want to leave the bathroom."

The boyfriend called police on Feb. 27 to report that "there was something wrong with his girlfriend," Whipple said, adding that he never explained why it took him two years to call.

Police found the clothed woman sitting on the toilet, her sweat pants down to her mid-thigh. She was "somewhat disoriented," and her legs looked like they had atrophied, Whipple said.

"She said that she didn't need any help, that she was OK and did not want to leave," he said.

She was reported in fair condition at a hospital in Wichita, about 150 miles southeast of Ness City. Whipple said she has refused to cooperate with medical providers or law enforcement investigators.

Authorities said they did not know if she was mentally or physically disabled.

Police have declined to release the couple's names, but the house where authorities say the incident happened is listed in public records as the residence of Kory McFarren. No one answered his home phone number.

The case has been the buzz of Ness City, said James Ellis, a neighbor.

"I don't think anybody can make any sense out of it," he said.

Ellis said he had known the woman since she was a child but that he had not seen her for at least six years.

He said she had a tough childhood after her mother died at a young age and apparently was usually kept inside the house as she grew up. At one time the woman worked for a long-term care facility, he said, but he did not know what kind of work she did there.

"It really doesn't surprise me," Ellis said. "What surprises me is somebody wasn't called in a bit earlier."

So he brought her meals in the toilet for 2 years?

I really wish they'd get more info from this couple because I want to know how she slept and where the guy went to take a shit.

They also neglect to mention that she probably has haemorrhoids the size of a melon too...

Ness City is a town of under 2,000 people that is typical for small midwestern towns in that most the residents families have known everyone else's families for at least two generations. If you fart in your backyard within 48 hours word has gotten out to everyone in town what it smelled like. I can not understand how someone can squat in a bathroom for two years without somebody else figuring something out of the norm was going on,

A MAN whose girlfriend sat on his toilet for so long that her body became stuck to the seat should face charges of mistreatment, according to a sheriff.
Kory McFarren, from Kansas, let Pam Babcock, 35, sit on the seat for two years because she had a phobia about leaving the bathroom.

The case drew nationwide attention in the United States after Sheriff Bryan Whipple said it appeared the Ness City woman's skin had grown around the seat in the two years she apparently was in the bathroom.

"We pried the toilet seat off and the seat went with her to the hospital," Mr Whipple said. "The hospital removed it."

The sheriff has asked the county prosecutor to file charges against Mr McFarren, 36, for mistreatment of a dependent adult. "The unfortunate thing is this truly is a case of two people, in my opinion, with diminished mental capacity," Mr Whipple said.

Mr McFarren yesterday said: "The only thing I am guilty of is I didn't get her help sooner.

"I didn't do this to her. It was her choice. She is an adult; she made her own decision. It was my fault, I should have gotten help for her sooner – I admit that. But after a while, you kind of get used to it."

Mr McFarren said he could not be certain how long Ms Babcock stayed in the bathroom because "time just went by so quick". He said she had a phobia about leaving the bathroom because of beatings she received in her childhood.

"It just kind of happened one day; she went in and had been in there a little while, and the next time it was a little longer. Then she got it in her head she was going to stay – like it was a safe place for her," he said.

But Mr McFarren said she had moved around the room during that time, bathed and changed into the clothes he brought her. He brought food and water to her. They had conversations in there and an otherwise normal relationship – except it was all in the bathroom.

Mr McFarren called police on 27 February to report that "there was something wrong with his girlfriend", Mr Whipple said.

Mr McFarren said he finally called the police after he became worried because Ms Babcock seemed groggy – he said it was as if she did not know what was going on, al
though she was awake.

Officers found Ms Babcock sitting on the toilet with her jogging bottoms down to mid-thigh.

She was "somewhat disoriented", and her legs looked as if they had atrophied, Mr Whipple said.

"She was not glued. She was not tied. She was just physically stuck by her body," the sheriff explained. "It is hard to imagine … I still have a hard time imagining it myself."

She initially refused emergency medical services, but was finally convinced that she needed to be checked out.

Mr Whipple said the prosecutor would determine whether any charges should be filed against Mr McFarren.

Mr McFarren, who works in an antique shop, said he has been taking care of Ms Babcock for the 16 years they have lived together. He insisted that he had tried to coax her out of the bathroom every day.

"And her reply would be, 'Maybe tomorrow'," Mr Whipple said.
