A Pittsburgh man is seeking damages from the former girlfriend who has admitted supergluing his genitals and buttocks together while he was asleep.

Kenneth Slaby told a jury that he was in "severe pain" when he woke up, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reported. He was also puzzled because his head was painted with nail polish.

"I was more worried about my groin because I was all stuck together," he said.

Slaby, a building contractor, and Gail O'Toole of Murrysburg had had a rocky relationship even before their final breakup. They dated, broke up and got back together in May 2000.

Then Slaby spent a weekend at O'Toole's home and made the mistake of nodding off.

In her testimony, O'Toole, who pleaded guilty to misdemeanor assault, admitted the gluing. But she said that Slaby took it as a joke, telling jurors he "laughed quite a lot."

Slaby wants damages for assault, battery and intentional infliction of emotional distress.
