Therese Ziemann, Donessa T. Davis, and Krazy Glue

UPDATE, February 2, 2010: Women avoid jail in assault of cheating lover

A Calumet County judge sentenced each woman Tuesday to one year of probation. He also imposed and stayed jail sentences of 30 to 60 days, meaning the defendants will only serve that time if they violate the terms of probation.

...Three women apologized to the judge, saying they only meant to confront the man. They said things spiraled out of control.

The man's wife was one of the four women convicted. She declined to speak before sentencing.

UPDATE, September 9, 2009: Donessa Davis Testifies

Why is it that so often crazy stories in the news put Wisconsin in the spotlight?

Maybe the state Tourism Department tapped into the truth.

We live like we mean it.

Unfortunately, for some Wisconsinites, "Live like you mean it" entails immoral and violent and criminal behavior.

A group of Wisconsin women reacted with an extreme scheme, concocted by Therese Ziemann, when they discovered they were all betrayed by the same cheating man, Donessa T. Davis.



They were outraged. They wanted revenge. And they showed him they really, really meant it.

Krazy Glue and scorned lovers are a dangerous mix.

WAUSAU, Wis. -- A married man who planned to rendezvous with one of his handful of lovers at an eastern Wisconsin motel instead found himself bound, blindfolded and assaulted by a group of women out for revenge, according to court documents.

Four women, including his wife, eventually showed up to humiliate the man, who ended up with his penis glued to his stomach in a bizarre plot to punish him for a lover's quadrangle gone bad, according to the documents filed in Calumet County.

Now it's the women who face punishment, perhaps six years in prison, and at least one said Monday the story has gotten twisted and she's embarrassed.

"I am disturbed. I am upset. I am having a hard time handling life; an emotional wreck," Wendy Sewell, 43, of Kaukauna, said in a telephone interview from her home. "I am ashamed."

Sewell, Therese Ziemann, 48, of Menasha, Michelle Belliveau, 43, of Neenah, and the man's wife are charged with being party to false imprisonment, a felony. Ziemann also is charged with fourth-degree sexual assault.

...Criminal complaints filed Friday allege the man agreed to be bound with "sheer sheets" and blindfolded with a pillowcase for a "rub down" by Ziemann. She instead cut off his underwear with a scissors and summoned the others to the room with a text message.

Ziemann struck the man in the face, and used Krazy Glue to attach his penis to his stomach when the other women arrived, according to the complaints. The man told investigators he also was threatened with a gun. Ziemann told investigators she didn't have a gun but may have told the victim, "Do you know how much I want to shoot you?"

He started screaming and the women rushed off fearful that he could get loose and hurt them but allegedly took his wallet, vehicle and cell phone.

Ziemann told investigators she met the man online through Craigslist, fell in love and paid for his use of a room at the motel for the past two months. She said she gave him about $3,000. Then last Wednesday, she learned from the man's wife that he was married, had other girlfriends and was "using them for money." She expected the money to be repaid, according to the documents.

During Thursday's confrontation with the man, Ziemann told investigators Sewell asked him, "Which one do you love more?" and the man's wife made a derisive remark about him being scared.

The man got free from the bed by chewing through one of his bindings, went outside and borrowed a telephone from the motel owner to call police.

Ziemann and Belliveau are sisters and Belliveau didn't do anything wrong, Sewell said Monday. "She was just there for moral support. She wasn't even dating the guy. She stood at the door the whole time and didn't participate or nothing."

Here's the Criminal Complaint for Therese Ziemann.

Davis informed Deputy Wendorf that Ziemann told him she wanted to tie him up and give him a rub down. Davis indicated that Ziemann tied both his hands and legs to the bed and then blindfolded him. Davis stated that Ziemann got him completely naked by cutting off his underwear. Davis stated he then heard a knock on the door, was able to partially remove the blindfold and seen Belliveau, Hood-Davis and Sewall enter the room. Davis stated he had seen Belliveau hand Ziemann a handgun which was approximately four inches in length and silver in color. Davis stated that Ziemann pointed the handgun to his head and at his penis and stated "Your lucky they will not let me shoot." Davis informed Deputy Wendorf that one of the women had superglued his penis to his right leg. Davis stated that Sewall was telling him that she wanted to mace him. Davis informed Deputy Wendorf that they had taken his cell phone, wallet and vehicle. Davis stated Ziemann, Hood-Davis, Belliveau and Sewell all left the room while he remained tied to the bed.

Davis informed Deputy Wendorf that he did not give anyone permission for the incident to occur.

On July 30, 2009, Investigator Dedering spoke with Theresa A. Ziemann. Ziemann stated that she had met Davis on Craig List, ultimately fell in love and had rented a motel room for him for the past two months. Ziemann stated she had given him approximately $3,000 total in which he stated he would pay her back. Ziemann states that on July 29, 2009 Hood-Davis contacted her and informed her of Davis's criminal record and that Davis was married with children. Ziemann stated that Hood-Davis also informed her that Davis was seeing other women and using them for money. Ziemann stated on July 29, 2009 she also spoke with Wendy Sewell who confirmed this information. Ziemann stated that Davis did not know his wife, Tracy Hood-Davis, was contacting all of his girlfriends. Ziemann, Hood-Davis and Sewell decided that they should confront him at the same time without him knowing. Ziemann stated "we had a plan". Ziemann informed Investigator Dedering that she was suppose to be meeting him on July 30, 2009 at the Lakeview Motel at N4111 HWY 55, in the Town of Stockbridge, Calumet County, Wisconsin. Ziemann stated that Hood-Davis, Sewall and herself were going to confront him then. Ziemann informed Investigator Dedering that she convinced Davis to let her tie him up and give him a massage. Ziemann stated that she tied his legs and arms one at a time and then cut his underwear off with a pair of scissors. Ziemann informed Investigator Dedering she then texted the other girls "he's tied up." Ziemann stated after he was tied up Belliveau, Hood-Davis and Sewall walked into the room. Ziemann stated that Sewall asked Davis "which one do you love more?" Ziemann stated she then asked "who do you want to grow old with?" Ziemann stated that Hood-Davis commented to Davis "Wow, you really get small when your scared". Ziemann stated that prior to her tying Davis to the bed Davis had stuck Ziemann on the right cheek and asked her "can you handle that?" Ziemann stated that during the confrontation Ziemann slapped his face and asked "can you handle that?" Ziemann stated that she grabbed some Krazy Glue and proceeded to glue his penis to his stomach. Ziemann informed Investigator Dedering that Davis began to struggle and was trying to break free. Ziemann stated that was when we all ran away because we were afraid of him getting loose and hurting us. Ziemann did admit that she had come up with the plan to humiliate David and confront him. Ziemann indicated that Sewall had mace on a key ring and held it up for Davis to see. Ziemann indicated to Investigator Dedering that she did not have a gun but may have said to Davis "do you know how much I want to shoot you?"

While the case lends itself to plenty of jokes, this was a terribly violent assault.

There's really nothing funny about it.

Davis is an adulterer. He betrayed his wife. He also betrayed his numerous lovers.

He victimized the women, but then they chose to brutally victimize him.

Ziemann, designer of the plan, did succeed in humiliating Davis, but at quite a cost.

It's hard to have sympathy for any of the parties involved.
