Back in October of 2020, the Oklahoma Internet collectively threw up its lunch after a married pair of black market urologists known as “The Eunuch Makers” were arrested following a botched surgery in their ramshackle AIRBNB castration cabin in the Oklahoma backwoods.
To make the story even more gruesome and clickable, the victim also claimed the castrator's collected and saved the discarded human body parts from their procedures for possible consumption, probably in the form of a trail mix or sausage.
Since then, the Eunuch Makers – Bobby Lee Allen and Thomas Evans Gates – have been waiting for their day in court. Now, thanks to the dogged reporting of Nolan Clay – the castration beat reporter for The Oklahoman – we've learned that the younger of the two Enuch Makers has agreed to testify against the other:
A newlywed has agreed to testify against his husband at trial in an illegal surgery case that gained national attention because of accusations of cannibalism.
Thomas Evans Gates III, 43, pleaded guilty Wednesday to three misdemeanors in Le Flore County District Court after prosecutors agreed to dismiss three felony counts in exchange for his cooperation.
The jury trial for his husband, Bob Lee Allen, 54, is scheduled to begin Sept. 20.
"I agree to testify truthfully in the trial of Bob Allen," he told the judge in writing about the plea agreement. "Then the state will recommend that I be sentenced to time served plus fines + costs."
In his guilty plea, Gates admitted to possessing psychedelic mushrooms Oct. 12, possessing drug paraphernalia and keeping the victim's castrated parts in a freezer in the cabin instead of burying them.
Honestly, that's not very surprising. If you're going to choose black market castration/body part collecting as a side gig, it would probably help to be under the influence of psychedelics.
I guess it's also not surprising that Gates is flipping on Allen. I spent way too much time on their Facebook pages after this news broke, and you could tell that Allen seemed more like the alpha in their romance, and the brains behind the operation. He also probably had some heavy sway over Gates. Hopefully, Gates is able to move on with his life, get some treatment and, in the future, keep human body parts out of his freezer.
