Penis Injection Death: Kasia Rivera Denies Killing Justin Street

NEWARK, N.J. — Authorities say a New Jersey man who died after having his penis injected with silicone was trying to get it enlarged.

The woman police say gave the injection, resulting in his death, has been charged with manslaughter. She made her first court appearance Tuesday.

The Essex County prosecutor's office says 34-year-old Kasia Rivera gave 22-year-old Justin Street the injection in May. She has pleaded not guilty but remains in jail on $75,000 bail.

Street died the day after his injection. His death was ruled a homicide following an investigation and a medical examiner's determination he died of a silicone embolism.

Rivera also faces charges accusing her of the unauthorized practice of medicine out of her East Orange apartment. Authorities say they're investigating whether she gave other people similar injections.

This is a tragic story. After looking at her picture I'm absolutely certain I wouldn't let that woman cut my hair or trim my toenails, let alone fiddle with me down there.

Would YOU have let THAT stick a needle into ANY part of your body? In the running for the 2011 Darwin Awards.

I saw on a history channel, a doc saying men have one to three inches hiding. A doc can do a operation to bring it out. Just saying why not do it the safe way. It not what you have, its what you do with what you have that matters.

Couldn't she have done the job without the silicone injections?...

She's getting a little too cocky.

Poor fella. I can't believe that anyone, especially guys, are signing up for these horrible street surgeries, though. It's not the size that matters. You men have to put your backs into...oh, never mind.

Are crackheads finding new ways to make money? This is the second story involving injections from women who look like this one ( the other injected another woman's bottom with cement.
What were they thinking?! What idiot would let people who look deranged and work from home - inject them with toxic chemicals for vanity? The World is a mess

I remember that. She injected the other woman with cement too.

Talk about a rock hard butt cheeks. She could REALLY crack walnuts with that thing.

I remember that story too. The woman's name was appropriately "Cheek" and, as I recall, we had some fun with that one. And though I'm sure it wasn't fun for any of her victims, I don't think any of them died. What next, brain surgery on the street?...

First of all, I want to express my deepest sympathy to Justin's family and friends. May he rest in the arms of Jesus.
I have read a lot of posts that have been very cruel toward this young man. I think those who have posted rude things need to put yourself in this guys position. He most likely had small junk and some babe he tried to have some fun with, laughed or said something cruel about his stuff. This would devastate any 22 year old man, unless he was very sure of himself and knew his penis was of "normal" size and she was just a bone head. So, this fellow with small self esteem wanted to make things bigger and could not afford to go to a real dr. or perhaps a real Dr refused to take care of his perceived problem. Then he hears of this terribly scary looking "doctor" who charges just what he has in his savings account or perhaps in his pocket at the time. She is only interested in how much money she can get for her new Halloween mask and does not care if the guy dies from her so called treatment. This is a very sad story and the more I wonder about it the worse night mares I have from looking at her photo. I am still wondering where they came up with a camera strong enough to take her photograph without blowing up.
