Kristina Caban
Kristina Caban – New York photography student Kristina Caban was sent to prison for kidnapping her ex-boyfriend, Samir Sara, and branding a capital R into his lower back after claiming he raped her.
Kristina Caban, 23, had no comment as state Supreme Court Justice Michael Obus sentenced her to 5 years in prison for what he called “a crime that was not remotely justifiable.”
Caban, her new boyfriend Robert Testagrossa, and a third suspect, Joel Leonhard, who is still being sought, agreed to brand the victim after Caban told them Samir Sara raped her in 2004.
It was later discovered that Caban wanted revenge because Samir Sara had ignored her after a one-night stand, two years before, and hadn’t raped her at all.
“I’m tired of people who just want to stand in my way and push me down,” Kristina Caban, then 21, had written on her Facebook.com page in October of 2006. “To all the liars out there: you better step back ’cause I’m not going to back down anymore. I will hurt you.”
Police said Caban’s boyfriend, 25-year-old Robert Testagrossa, held Sara at gunpoint as he entered a hotel room after being lured there by Caban. Testagrossa, then allegedly displayed a badge and screamed at Sara, “I’m a Long Island police officer! Get on the ground!”
Together with Joel Leonhard, Testagrossa then zapped him with a Taser, bound him and branded him with a capital “R”.
The defendants also had wire brands for five other letters for the word “RAPIST,” but fled before using them when the victim screamed.
After being arrested three days later, Kristina Caban inadvertently tipped cops to Testagrossa’s identity by calling him from the police station house, telling detectives the call was to a “boyfriend”.
When cops checked a record of the call, they saw it was to Long Island and recalled what Sara had told him what one of his attackers had said – that he was a cop from Long Island.
They traced the number to Testagrossa, whose dad is a top Queens prosecutor and whose lawyer mom works for the Nassau County district attorney.
Testagrossa was sentenced to five years in prison earlier this year, while Caban’s sentencing was delayed to allow her to finish school. Joel Leonhard was never caught and remains at large.
And that’s the latest news on the “ex-boyfriend branding” sentencing of Kristina Caban.

she’s pretty hot. he probably should’ve called.
No she’s not hot. She one of those one-night-stands that looks fuckable when you’re very drunk but in the next morning you’re ready to live in celibacy for a long time.
omg this girl was my roommate she was crazy.

Hi nice post, i have come across your site once before when searching for something so i was just wondering something. I love your theme, would it happen to be a free one i can download, or is it a custom one you had made? In a few weeks i will be launching my own site, i’m not great with designs but i really like the style of your site so it would be cool if i could find (or pay for) something with a similar look.
Thanks!
I known her all of my life first off, im pretty shocked but i still keep in touch with her. I believe she took it too far but im still going to support her no matter what.im not defending what she did at all but dont sit here talkin bullsh*t like you never done nothing bad yourself.
