Under cross-examination from prosecution counsel John O’Sullivan, Kardashian admitted threatening to rape Ms McGhee with an object so that the extent of Ms McGhee’s injuries would be that “she would not be able to have children”.
Mr O’Sullivan asked Kardashian “what object” would be used to rape Ms McGhee.
“I wanted to use an electric rod, but that wasn’t available to me. I remember thinking I wanted to use the handle of a sweeping brush or a mop. I wanted to torture her (Ms McGhee) sexually, I wanted to sexually electrocute her genitalia,” Kardashian replied.
When asked why use the word “object” in the rape threat, Kardashian replied: “Because I am a woman, and women use objects, that’s why I said ‘object’.”
Kardashian added: “I hate having male genitalia and I would use an object to commit rape. If a woman wants to rape, that’s how I would commit rape.”
