Pics: WOMAN'S BODY COVERED IN ALMOST 6,000 TUMOURS.

A woman has revealed how her rare skin condition has left her with almost 6,000 tumours all over her body.

Libby Huffer from Fort Wayne in Indiana has suffered from a rare condition called Neurofibromatosis since she was five years old.

The rare skin disease causes non-cancerous lumps and she has already had ten operations.

She lived a normal life until her teens, when hundreds of bumps began rapidly developing all over her skin.

The first outbreak led to her being severely bullied – with people thinking she was contagious and cruelly labelling her ‘Lizard Breath’.

Things took a turn for the worst in 1993, when pregnancy hormones caused her tumours to multiply in the thousands.

Now suffering chronic pain – she has in excess of 5,500 bumps across her entire body.

Despite undergoing surgery to remove the lumps, many have grown back leaving Libby in chronic pain from her forehead to her feet.

Recently she braved showing her skin in public in the hope of trying to attract funding for specialist treatment, which she says is her last resort.

She said: ‘For the majority of my life I’ve covered up in long sleeved tops and trousers, but recently I’ve tried being brave by showing more of my skin.I try not to let it stop me.

‘Someday it would be wonderful not to have to worry about how I look, or what clothes will hide my bumps.’

Libby has started raising money for pioneering electrodessication surgery that will use an electric current to kill the neurofibroma tissue in her body.

The five-hour session costs almost £17,500 and could allow her a pain-free life without the stares and taunts from people for the first time in three decades.

She added: ‘My life would change so much if I had the surgery. I’m not contagious, I’m a human being too, all I want is to be adored and cared for like anyone else.’

MAN RAPED PARTNER WHILE SHE WAS IN LABOUR.

A woman was raped while she was in labour by her partner on her own bed, a court has heard. The woman began having severe contractions and tried to alleviate the pain by getting on her hands and knees.

But then her partner woke up, told her he was ‘feeling horny’ and allegedly started raping her despite her cries of pain and shouting for him to stop. After the attack he offered to run her a bath before she was taken to hospital to give birth four hours later.

Prosecutor Michael Greenhalgh told Hull Crown Court said the couple were in bed when the woman entered the advanced stages of labour around 11.30pm.

‘The defendant fell asleep but she did not. The contractions continued as did her discomfort,’ said Mr Greenhalgh.

‘She was in bed, naked as she normally would be. In order to try and relieve the pressure and the pain of the contractions, she got onto all fours because she had been told that was a way of relieving the pain. She was in that position when the defendant woke up.

‘He saw her naked on all fours and said “I feel horny”, to which she replied “are you serious?”. The defendant then got behind her and started having sex with her.’

Mr Greenhalgh said the man, in his 40s, did not listen to his partner’s protests.

‘She made it clear to him that that was not something she wanted or something she was consenting to,’ he said.

‘How did she do that? Well, in the first place it was obvious, one might have thought, because she was crying in pain from the contractions, but she also told him to stop it and said to him “please don’t”.

‘The defendant didn’t listen to that and continued having sex with her.’

Mr Greenhalgh said, when the man had finished, he then ‘acted as if nothing had happened’.

Following the baby’s birth, the man’s partner went to stay with her mother because the heating at the couple’s property was broken. After returning home to him, though, she decided to report the alleged rape to her family and police.

Mr Greenhalgh said initial texts between the pair after their baby’s birth were of affection and excitement because of their child, but that the tone soon changed when she went back home.

‘The woman will note two things precipitated that change,’ he said.

‘Firstly, she was back in the bedroom where this happened, which is a stark and uncomfortable reminder to her. And, he behaved in an inappropriate way with the new baby.

‘The child is crying and he wouldn’t let her pick the child up and refers to it as a “spoilt little s***”. It was at that point she decided she couldn’t forget what has happened.’

The man is denying the pair had sex.

ALLEGED PAEDOPHILE DRAGGED OUT OF POLICE CELL AND HANGED FROM A TREE BY VIGILANTES.

An alleged paedophile accused of raping and killing a four-year-old girl has been dragged out of his cell and killed.

An angry mob stormed the police station where he was being held, hauled him along the street then hanged him from a tree.

Earlier this week a child was found dead in Reyes, Bolivia, while visiting the area with her parents for her grandmother’s funeral.

But she vanished and when her body was later found, investigators quickly realised the little girl had been raped and murdered.

Hours after the body was recovered, police arrested a suspect. But without waiting for a verdict in a court case or indeed to find out what the evidence was against the suspect, angry locals soon stormed the station and took the man out.

They started beating him and it was soon clear that someone in the crowd had brought a rope. The man was hung on the street just minutes later.

Police officers were powerless and outnumbered and could not do anything to stop the public lynching.

Ivan Zambrana, the department director of the Special Force for Crime Fighting, told local media: ‘The dead bodies, both the girl’s and the lynching victim’s, have been moved to Palos Blancos [near Bolivian capital La Paz], the case is under investigation.’

Nobody has been arrested for the lynching, but the police are currently questioning locals and using social media videos of the incident in tackling the case.

Man, 40, Arrested For Impregnating 15-Year-Old Stepdaughter...

A 40- year-old man, Victor Emafolomi, has been arrested by men of Ogun State Police Command for impregnating his 15-year-old step daughter. The suspect, who lives on Olokosusi Street, Java Agbado in Ifo Local Government Area of the state, was said to have been arrested following a complaint from his wife, who is the mother of the said girl.

The Police Public Relations Officer in the state Abimbola Oyeyemi, in a statement, said: “The mother, Taiwo Emafolomi, who noticed that her daughter is pregnant, pressurised the girl and she eventually opened up to her mother about how her step-father had been making love, which resulted in the pregnancy.

“The DPO, Agbado Division, CSP Abioye Shittu, detailed detectives to get the man arrested after a pregnancy test had been conducted on the girl, which came out positive.

“The Commissioner of Police, Ahmed Iliyasu, has ordered that the case be transferred to Anti-Human Trafficking and Child Labour Unit of the Criminal Investigation and Intelligent Department, CIID, for further investigation.”
