42-year-old Canadian Andree Rene is facing charges of aggravated assault in a Montreal court after she set fire to her boyfriend's penis.
Rene had poured boiling fondue oil on his genitals and chest as he slept, causing third degree burns which the 52-year-old man has been recovering from in a hospital for the last month.
Rene faces up to 14 years in jail at her sentencing in November.
