Man tricked into being given an enema

US police admit they are baffled after a woman tricked a partially sighted man into letting her give him an enema in his home.

"You are not, you are definitely not, going to believe this," Police Sgt Spencer Crum told journalists in Sonoma, California.

The 53-year-old man told police he was in his apartment when a woman appeared in his doorway, reports the Sonoma News.

She told him she was there to give him an enema. Because the man had recently undergone intestinal surgery, he thought that sounded possible.

The woman deftly guided him to his bedroom, had him drop his pants and lie face down on his bed. She then gave the man an enema and promptly left.

After a few days, the man - reflecting that the woman did not leave a card or any other identifying information - grew suspicious and contacted police.

An investigating officer promptly called the man's doctor and was told no enema had been prescribed, ordered or approved.

Sonoma police turned the case over to the domestic and sexual assault unit of the Sonoma Sheriff's Office who have yet to make sense of the incident.
