Cops: Fake Doc Pumped Cement in Women's Butts

Suspect accused of injecting victims with toxic mix

By Rob Quinn, Newser Staff

Posted Nov 23, 2011 2:00 AM CST

(Newser) – Police have identified several victims of a bogus Florida surgeon who injected women's behinds with cement, superglue, and tire sealant, and they believe more victims are too embarrassed to come forward. Oneal Ron Morris, who was born a man but identifies as a woman, has been arrested and charged with practicing medicine without a license, the AP reports.

Police say Morris—who performed the illegal surgery on herself—promised buttocks enhancement and charged hundreds of dollars to inject women with the toxic mix. State health officials say some of the victims suffered life-threatening injuries. Investigators believe Morris is a member of an illegal plastic surgery ring in South Florida and more arrests may be made.
