RALEIGH, N.C. -- A woman on probation for performing buttocks-enhancing injections that left three women with kidney failure in 2008 has been charged with allegedly injecting an exotic dancer's backside with a disfiguring potion, sheriff's deputies said Thursday.

Lauretta Cheek, 42, of Greensboro was arrested Wednesday and charged with one misdemeanor count of practicing medicine without a license, Guilford County Sheriff's Det. Craig Cotten said. Cheek was released on a written promise to appear in court.

She did not have a listed telephone and Cotten did not know if she had an attorney.

The victim was an exotic dancer from Charlotte who wanted to augment her assets and met Cheek in a hotel room for the injection last year, Cotten said. Cheek's price was about $500, but the unknown substance sent the victim to hospital emergency rooms twice, Cotten said.

"It appears that the substance that was injected into her basically burned its way back out," the detective said. "It's not just one big spot. Being a liquid or gel-type of material, it kind of went in different directions and obviously got infected and left pretty significant scarring."

Cotten said he has found no connection to a Florida case last month in which state health officials said several women seeking curvier bottoms were injected with a toxic concoction of cement, superglue and flat-tire sealant.

That case is one of several in the past two years in which back-room providers promised cut-rate augmentations that would cost thousands of dollars at a legal clinic.

A Yonkers, N.Y., woman was convicted last month of criminally negligent homicide after a Bronx woman died in 2009 after receiving numerous silicone injections in her buttocks and thigh. A Colombian husband and wife were sentenced to prison in October for leaving a Las Vegas woman to die after botching her buttocks enhancement procedure in a tile store back room. A London woman died in February after receiving injections to enlarge her buttocks in Philadelphia.

"From what I'm told, the folks that are in this business, the money is very good so it's hard to get away from," Cotten said.

Cheek was on probation after pleading guilty to forgery in a case involving buttocks-enhancing injections that left three women with kidney failure. The injections were later determined to most likely contain types of infertility drugs. Cheek closed the spa she owned and promised as part of a plea deal that she would not dabble in medical procedures.

I love her name with this story. The description of what this one did though... just sounds BRUTAL.

White people are the ones that need it most actually.......

Do they just stop giving a shit at some point? Do they just think the knockoff shit they are injecting into people won't do anything? Fuck, if they are going to scam people at least use something harmless like saline solution.

 

[Grinchy]

I'm so disgusted by the thought of randomly injecting some chemicals into my ass. I wonder how painful an infection like this would be.

Who in the fuck would be stupid enough to pay some dumb lady $500 to inject her ass in a hotel room? What about this plan seems ok to a person?

Seriously, if you aren't in a doctor's office, you should ask yourself does this sound reasonable?

To be fair though do butt enhancement injections even sound reasonable in a trained medical office?

Not outside of a bizarre porn setting.

 

[Bleepey]

He said it not me.

 

[SmokyDave]

I want to see a full shot of that woman. My spidey-sense is telling me she has buttocks like malformed beachballs.

 

[DeaconKnowledge]

Can you charge the women who took this for being idiots?

 

[GeoramA]

They probably thought "Her last name's Cheek, how could it possibly go wrong?"

 

[Oppo]

That was exactly my thought. I mean ripping someone off is one thing but man, use something harmless at the very least.

I think I read one of your posts once where you said shit like that turns you on.

 

[Messypandas]

pro-tip. If you're getting you're body altering surgery done in a tile storeroom chances are its going to fuck you up. I have no sympathy for those dumb fools

[Stumpokapow]

I was gonna say "Old, saw a thread about this a few weeks ago" but "Cotten said he has found no connection to a Florida case last month in which state health officials said several women seeking curvier bottoms were injected with a toxic concoction of cement, superglue and flat-tire sealant." so there are at least TWO crazies injecting asses with random stuff?

 

[speedpop]

The stupid remain stupid?

 

[Skilotonn]

For once, I think I'm glad there isn't a picture, because just reading that it burned its way back out her ass in all directions is making me pull an ugly face.

What a sili con artist.

Alright, bravo.

You got me.
