Complaints against officers

Detective sergeant says tackling domestic crime is one of force's main priorities.

Court case: Edinburgh Sheriff Court

 

Police Scotland says it will always conduct robust domestic crime investigations, after a man without a penis admitted inserting unknown implements into two women who thought they were having sex with him.

Both had sex with 35-year-old Carlos Delacruz on multiple occasions but because he refused to let them see him naked – and he insisted on keeping the lights turned off – they didn’t realise he didn’t have genitalia, a court heard.

One of his victims said that he would always hold the base of what she thought was his penis during sex while the other said that he made her bleed.

Both only found out that he didn’t actually have a penis after their relationships broke down.

Delacruz, from Banknock, near Falkirk, admitted to penetrating the women with an unknown object without their consent when he appeared at Edinburgh Sheriff Court on Tuesday.

During an interview with Police Scotland officers, Delacruz made no comment. He was medically examined while in custody and found to have no penis.

No details of Delacruz's gender position were read out in court. It was not revealed why he does not have a penis.

Sheriff Alison Stirling placed Delacruz on the sex offenders’ register for a term still to be determined and deferred sentence to September.

Detective Sergeant Mhairi Cooper from Police Scotland’s Public Protection Unit said: “Carlos Delacruz spent a long time deceiving the victims and his actions were a complete abuse of their trust.

“Delacruz took advantage of the women and subjected them to sexual abuse over a period of time.

“I would like to commend the bravery of the victims who contacted police and have been thoroughly cooperative throughout the course of our investigations.

“Tackling domestic crime in all its forms remains one of our main priorities and we will always conduct robust investigations to ensure perpetrators are brought before the courts.”
