Man has sex with girlfriend’s corpse in hopes of ‘waking her up’

Aaron Gaser of Willimantic, Connecticut, told police there that he was so despondent at finding his girlfriend’s lifeless body that he hoped having sex with her corpse would wake her up.  The 39-year-old Gaser found his love interest unresponsive with several heroin needles on her lap. The USA Herald reported Gaser as explaining to authorities that, “he thought having sex with the body might revive her because his girlfriend hated sleeping with him, according to an arrest warrant.”

The Hartford Courant reported that when in court this Tuesday, Gaser pleaded guilty to fourth-degree sexual assault of a corpse.  He explained to the judge that he “had sex with a woman who had expired.” That judge sentenced Gaser to one-year behind bars.

This tale of necrophilia and bondage began in January after police in Willimantic received a 911 call concerning an unresponsive woman.  Upon their arrival, first responders tried unsuccessfully to revive the woman.  Heroin and needles were found on and near her body. Sometime later, the medical examiner determined that the woman died from a drug overdose and that she had expired prior to Gaser’s 911 call. Toxicology reports found “high levels of fentanyl, heroin and another synthetic drug” in her system.

Detectives on the scene noticed ligature marks on the wrists and ankles of the corpse.  Gaser informed investigators that the woman was his girlfriend. When he found her in an unresponsive state, he tried to wake her up. The Courant shared court documents that stated:

“Aaron stated that he laid the victim down the bed and he rubbed her sternum.  Aaron stated he listened to see if the victim was breathing and he heard gurgling. Aaron stated he knew the victim hated having sex with him so he figured that the victim might wake up if he had sex with her.

Upon further questioning, Gaser not only confessed to having a particular fetish, but also confessed to detectives that he tied his girlfriend’s corpse to the bedposts before having sex with her lifeless body.  He tied her ankles and wrists to the bedposts and untied the corpse after having sex with her.  A paramedic stated that the woman had already been dead for a few hours before Gaser had sex with her. That supposition was confirmed by the medical examiner’s autopsy report.

Originally, Gaser was charged with second-degree sexual assault. Ultimately his charge was reduced and he pleaded guilty to fourth-degree sexual assault of a corpse, according to Fox News.
