In honor of Valentine’s Day this week, we are talking about Lorena and John Bobbitt – a couple that has gone down in infamy for a “castration that shook the nation.” We break down what led to their notoriety, how it happened, and what they did with their lives afterward. We also take a moment to highlight domestic violence and resources for those that may need them as it is more common than you would expect. If you or someone you know is a victim of domestic abuse visit ndvh.org or call 800-799-7233.

*Marked explicit due to the sexual nature of the crime.
