EAST ORANGE — A 35-year-old woman pleaded not guilty this morning in a Newark court to second-degree reckless manslaughter, more than a year after the East Orange man whom she had allegedly performed a penis enlargement procedure on died of a silicone embolism.Authorities say Kasia Rivera, also of East Orange, had no medical training when she allegedly injected silicone into 22-year-old Justin Street at her Glenwood Avenue home on May 5, 2011. It shot directly into Street’s bloodstream, shutting down his organs, authorities said. The father of two young sons was dead the next day.Rivera was charged in December, after the medical examiner ruled Street’s death a homicide, Essex County Assistant Prosecutor William Neafsey said. A grand jury returned an indictment last month and she faces up to 10 years in prison if convicted of the crime. Rivera, who is free on bail, appeared this morning in a pattern red jacket and black dress. From her pronounced features, Rivera appears to have either performed cosmetic injections on herself or received them from someone. She stood silently for the brief arraignment in Superior Court in Newark, and later refused a reporter’s request for comment. Her public defender, Danica Rue, told the judge she had not received Street’s autopsy photographs, and was also missing a compact disk containing the statement her client had given to police. Neafsey said both would be handed over shortly. “The state is not alleging at all that she purposely caused his death, but that her behavior, her acting with no training, no preparation led to his death.\" Neafsey said after the hearing, referring to the charges against Rivera. “Performing this type of procedure, basically a surgical procedure on him without any proper training or certificates, that’s why it’s reckless.” No one else is charged in the case and despite a request from the prosecutor’s office for anyone who may have received similar injections from Rivera to step forward, no one has, Neafsey said. Rivera remains free on $75,000 bail, and will appear in court next on Oct. 2.

Hey Quantum...

Calling a highly knowledgable Phalloplasty expert who happens to be a fellow moderator here a \"Dick\" is a good way to get yourself in trouble. I suggest an apology and perhaps you should show a man of his stature some respect. While your opinions are valuable, your personal insults are not welcome here. I personally know messageman and he is an incredibly kind and educated man; likely with more real world experience than any member or moderator here.

Respectfully,

Impressive story that shows Rivera with a high financial support, probably countless sessions of illegal silicone injections in male genitals, of desperate men with little emotional support and little information. The chance is sadly the victim. 20 years have passed access to information today is much better. Find a balance is still the best way to treat something that bothers you. Post very valuable information, and reflection.

Awesome post! Very constructive, loaded with supporting details and examples.

Glad I have a fan.

Meanwhile, whilst my post actually stayed on topic, you went out of your way to be a Dick. Nice.

General Anesthesia can result in death 1 in 100,00 administrations, so I take it with the same line of reasoning (given the hundreds of thousands of bioplasty procedures that have been performed around the world) one should avoid cosmetic surgery/procedures altogether. That\'s essentially what you are implying. And I\'m not sure if your implication is substantive at all.

Damn. Give her the chair!

Not to jump to unfair conclusions before a fair trial, but for the time being I\'ll stay away from Dr Rivera...

Quantum, you did stay on topic, as you assert, but in a monumentally superficial way. In other words, as it is often the case, you did not support your statements in any way. Whilst this is allowed as substantiated reasoning is not a compulsory requirement to post here -we are not in a research lab at Princeton - (albeit it is obviously welcome given that contributions such as your last one are manifestly useless to anyone making use of this forum) MM\'s objection was legit: ironic but mannerly. You had the option to rebut MM\'s viewpoint by offering opposing evidence or arguments. Or just being ironic in turn. You did not have the option to insult MM.

I warn you: one more arrogant and derogatory comment from you to a moderator or anyone else in the forum and I will permanently ban you.
