Cutlip sentenced for putting bodily fluids in boss' soup
YOUNGSTOWN
The victim felt betrayed, and the defendant said he was disgusted, as John Cutlip was sentenced today in Mahoning County Common Pleas Court for inserting his bodily fluids into his boss’ soup.
Cutlip, 28, of Maplewood Drive in Liberty, was given five years’ probation, part of which includes a six-month stay in the county jail and 1,000 hours of community service, which he must begin when he is released from the jail.
He was sentenced by Judge Maureen Sweeney on a misdemeanor charge of telecommunications harassment and a fifth-degree felony charge of criminal mischief, charges he pleaded guilty to Feb. 11.
He was indicted in June by after an investigation by Struthers police, which is the location of the business where Cutlip worked. Police said the boss consumed the soup. Police he said filmed himself inserting the fluids and later posted the video online to impress a girlfriend.
Cutlip apologized, saying the victim was more than a friend to him — and was “family to me. Many people would come to our office and ask if I was her son.”
