CHILTON — The Fond du Lac man whose penis was glued to his body by a woman seeking revenge for his philandering has filed a civil lawsuit against her seeking money.
Donessa T. Davis, 38, filed the lawsuit against Therese A. Ziemann in Calumet County in late July.
An attorney for the 49-year-old Menasha woman filed a motion earlier this month asking for the case to be dismissed.
Calumet County prosecutors said Ziemann lured Davis to a Stockbridge motel on July 30, 2009. After tying him to the bed under the pretense of sex, Ziemann called three other women to the room. The women berated Davis before Ziemann struck him and glued his penis to his body, the criminal complaints say.
All four women eventually were placed on probation. None of them were given a jail sentence.
Davis, who doesn’t have an attorney in the civil matter, is asking for monetary damages for medical expenses.
The civil complaint also cites injuries including pain, defamation, emotional stress, anxiety, embarrassment and loss of enjoyment of life.
Ziemann’s criminal conduct was a substantial factor in producing those injuries, the complaint says.
Robert Bellin, attorney for Ziemann, moved for dismissal without having filed an answer to the allegations.
The complaint doesn’t allege any facts from which a court could grant Davis a judgment, Bellin wrote.
“The plaintiff should be required to at least provide the minimal facts and allegations necessary to support the elements of some claim,” he wrote.
In regard to medical expenses, any third parties that would have paid in whole or in part weren’t joined to the lawsuit as required by state law, Bellin argued.
Judge Donald Poppy will decide on whether the case has merit to proceed during an Oct. 15 hearing.
Davis asked to be compensated for expenses and awarded money as punishment for Ziemann’s conduct.
While Davis doesn’t specify how much he’s seeking, the complaint says it’s more than $5,000.
