BAKERSFIELD, Calif. - A 140-pound rapist met his match in an angry, 275-pound prostitute, police said.
Adrian Castillo Ramirez allegedly tried to sexually assault a 24-year-old Bakersfield prostitute who was nearly twice his weight.
But she took his knife, stripped him naked and paraded him in front
of other prostitutes, after asking how many of them
had ever been forced into sex at knifepoint. Then she tried to take
him - still naked - to the police station, reports said.
Castillo was charged with failing to register as a sex offender, and
with committing forcible sex acts on the 24-year-old and
on a 37-year-old woman in a previous incident. He was convicted of
four counts of rape in 1988.
Castillo pleaded innocent Wednesday, and is being held on $250,000 bail, police said.

A 41-year-old Canadian man who pretended to be a police officer and
inadvertently pulled over a real detective for speeding
has been sentenced to six months in jail.
James Winton, of Barrie, pleaded guilty to impersonating a police
officer and was also sentenced to two years probation and
a judicial request for psychiatric counselling.
The Barrie court heard Constable Jarrod Hunter was off-duty and out
driving with his father-in-law in June when he saw
a white Neon with flashing red strobe lights on a county road in New Lowell.
He became suspicious and asked his father-in-law to deliberately pass
the car, court heard. Within seconds the red
lights flashed again and the pair were signalled to pull over.
Wearing dark sunglasses, Winton strutted over to give the men a
warning that they were speeding, but Hunter got out of
the car and said: "Let me see your tin."
When the man didn't understand, Hunter pulled out his authentic
police badge and slapped it on the trunk saying: "Your badge
- I want to see one of these."
The man said he forgot it at home, but insisted he was an officer for
Peel Region. Hunter reached inside the Neon, took
the keys from the ignition and called police.
A search of Winton's boot turned up a semi-automatic gun, several
hundred rounds of ammunition, a pocket criminal
code, holster and make-believe police jackets, reports the Toronto Sun.

An art exhibition in Athens celebrating the Olympics features a photo of a man having sex with a water melon.
A 37-year-old woman tore down the photograph by Thanassis Tsotsikas.
She then waited patiently to be discovered by the art gallery guards. Police gave her a warning and released her.
Mega Channel reported that guards prevented another vandal from
tearing down a painting by American artist Raymond
Pettibon.
Culture Minister Evangelos Venizelos commented: "Such actions
are to be condemned and show how many misunderstandings
can arise when our reactions are not cool-headed and do not take
correct account of things."
The Outlook exhibition, an international contemporary art exhibition
being held in Athens, is one of the main events of the
Cultural Olympiad, organized by the government in the lead up to the Olympics.

Better sleep. A sexier physique. Stronger immunity. Sound like the
effects of the latest wonder drug? Nope, it's just the many
physical benefits of having a satisfying sexual relationship.
And all this time you were just making love because it was fun! If
you're looking for more reasons to get romantic, consider
the following:
You're getting a good workout. Would you rather run 75 miles or have
sex three times a week for one year? While both burn
the same number of calories (about 7,500), one is decidedly more
pleasurable than the other. Regular sex - which burns
approximately 150 calories in a half-hour -- is regular exercise.
You'll have all the same benefits of spending that time in the
gym, including improved circulation, lower cholesterol and the
release of feel-good endorphins.
You won't get sick. According to research by Dr. Carl Charnetski,
professor of psychology at Wilkes University in
Wilkes-Barre, Pa and co-author of Feeling Good is Good For You,
people who reported one or two sexual episodes per
week enjoyed higher levels of Immunoglobin A, the antibody that helps
fend of illness.
You'll feel happier. In addition to the obvious boost in
satisfaction, feeling secure in your relationship leads to a greater sense
of well-being. Women in particular may see even more benefits.
Researchers at the State University of New York at Albany
found that women who regularly came into contact with semen were
significantly less depressed than those who didn't get a
dose of those potent sex hormones and naturally occurring opiates.
You'll reduce stress. People who get it on regularly report that they
handle stress better. The release of climax will get even
the most anxious lover totally relaxed, and you know you'll sleep better.
You'll live longer (and look younger!). A British study of 1,000 men
found that those who had at least two orgasms per
week had half the death rate of those who indulged less than once a
month. Sex can make you look younger, too, according
to neuropsychologist David Weeks, who found that men and women who
reported having sex an average of four times per
week looked approximately 10 years younger than they really were.
Webmaster note: A couple things come to mind here. One, well here is
prove that sex is not just for men any more. and
two, This story here is better then any pickup line I could think of.
Come on baby, who know the holidays just ended
and you want to take off a few pounds so you'll look good on the
beach. The tough part is it has to last 30 mins to get
the full 150 calories. Actually this makes me think of another line,
maybe you should invite your friend Michelle over and
I'll just watch for the first 20 mins, kind of like I do in aerobics
class.
