Man jailed for ironing girlfriend’s face

NEW YORK, USA (CMC) — A Guyanese man here who burned his girlfriend’s face with a hot iron while their three children watched has been sentenced to 13 years in jail.

Before handing down the sentence on Eric Persaud, 36, Queens Supreme Court Justice Gregory Lasak, described the gruesome attack as horrendous and sick.

“Your actions are some of the worst I’ve seen a man do to a woman,” the judge told Persaud, scolding him for forcing the unidentified woman to turn up the heat on the iron so he could permanently scar her for calling the cops over an earlier attack.

    This was a terrible crime especially with her 3 children witnessing such a violent act, he ironing her out because she crooked? , the best thing to do is end the relationship, you do not touchier and abuse her. The Guyanese men have a bad rap for pimping their women, have you ever notice how they come to the island and within a month they bring in those men they claim is their uncles and brothers only to find out its the husbands or boyfriends it is very very common, they do it for citizenship perhaps she got tired of him using her for financial gain. Now that he is out of her life hope she can rebuild and move on with her children, why do,men abuse women so? i just fail to understand why can’t adults simply walk away without causing grievous bodily harm to each other.Nothing she did would justify how he abused her and the children

    :cry: Guyanese, negro and indian they are all the same. In the BVI, a negro Guyanese who has a young child outside his marriage, is now in prison for beating his wife with a hammer.

    Be careful not to generalize that people of a certain country are worst than others of other countries. The saying: “Who knows what lurks in the heart of man/woman?
    Such things occur throughout the world. If you heard and read what men have done to women and vice versa, you would be shocked and even shed tears.
    The man has a wicked streak. He is heartless. His heart is made of stone or rock. Surely, he did not expect the women to continue living in such a relationship.
    Whatever she said to him gives him absolutely no right to injure her.
    Thirteen years is appropriate. He may spend less time for good behavior. On the other hand, if he wants to be released from prison sooner, he has to go through the Parole Board panel will ask him certain questions and also based on his behavior in prison, to qualify for early parole or to be released from prison.
    Women should fear such a man. Then again when a woman meets a man she may not know what type of background he has. Likewise, when a man meets a woman specifically in those big countries.

    At home and abroad Guyanese men continue to abuse their women. Check http://www.stabroeknews.com, the stories are never ending.

    This guy is a sicko! What did this woman do to him that triggered that behaviour? Yes some women can be very manipulate, evil and cruel but that is no response towards a woman. If a man is angry with his woman if he feels he is going to explode, it’s better he goes out to take a walk or something!

    A note for we men…learn to control your anger. Abuse is never the answer! It is very destructive.

    Them Guyanese men has a bad habit of ill treating there women..The Judge should throw the book at him, and to add insult to injurie that bastard did it in front of the children..13yrs is too short cause he be out before u no it and will do it again. Last week one of them bastard back in Guyana set his girlfriend and child on fire. these men have a serious problem..I hope these children will get the right counseling to deal with this ordeal..

      Sadly, Indian men are known for scarring their women by throwing acid in their face.

    This story is just unbelievable..13 years is definitely enough for this pig..After reading this story,it tells me that this man clearly has an anger issue..
    This is what u call Abuse!!! What makes it more sad is that, he burned his gf face in front of the kids..These children must be traumatized..Hope that none of the kids follow the footsteps of their monster father.
    They should throw the key after putting this pig in jail!!!

    Lord, there are so many coward men out there. What example was that for their kids? He not only scarred the mother for life, but also the kids!! I still think he got a slap on the wrist. Hope there’ll be some form of compensation for the lady.
