A mother of four accused of biting off her boyfriend’s testicles has denied grievous bodily harm.
Maria Topp (43) allegedly attacked Martin Douglas at his Newcastle flat at 4am on February 18.
He required emergency hospital treatment for his injuries.
Ms Topp, from Aycliffe Place, Wrekenton, Gateshead, appeared at Newcastle Crown Court today for a brief hearing to deny the charge.
The defendant was granted bail until her two or three-day trial, which will be fixed later.
