“Private Matter”


Dean Cochrun, a 28-year-old South Dakota man is suing the hospital where he was born for having circumcised him as a newborn, without his direct consent.  There’s more to this story; this is only the tip of the iceberg.

Mr. Cochrun, currently in prison on a kidnapping conviction, says that the circumcision robbed him of his sexual prowess.  The lawsuit did not detail why this is so important to him in prison.

Cochrun is asking for $1000 in damages, plus foreskin re-attachment surgery.  No surgery, however, can remove the irony of his last name.
