Man Will Cop To Mutilating His Wife's Lover | The Smoking Gun 2

FEBRUARY 23–The Florida Man charged with mutilating his wife’s bound lover is set to plead guilty to the scissor attack, though he claims to have “blacked out” during the incident and cannot recall any details of the bloody offense, which left the victim with a severed penis.

Alex Bonilla, 51, is scheduled to plead guilty Thursday to multiple felony charges in connection with the horrifying July 2019 assault inside the victim’s mobile home in Bell, a town 40 miles west of Gainesville.

Bonilla, who has been jailed since his arrest, lived across the street from the victim, who is married with two young daughters. Bonilla, a father of five who emigrated from El Salvador in 1990, resided with his 35-year-old second wife and the couple’s three young children.

Prosecutors will ask a Circuit Court judge to sentence Bonilla to 30 years in prison, according to a State Attorney’s Office spokesperson. Bonilla has been charged with kidnapping, burglary, aggravated battery with a deadly weapon, and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.

A pre-sentence report filed last month by the Florida Department of Corrections provides a harrowing account of Bonilla’s attack, which came two months after he caught his wife having sex with the victim.In an interview with a probation officer, Bonilla said that he met with the victim in the man’s home and told him, “You need to stay away from my wife and leave her alone.” Bonilla claimed that a scuffle ensued, with the victim tackling him. “The defendant stated he then blacked out and doesn’t remember anything from that point until” his arrest later that day at the dairy where he had worked for nearly 20 years.

The victim, however, provided a gruesome, detailed recollection of the premeditated attack that began when Bonilla showed up at his home (seen below) with a 9mm handgun tucked under his arm. “I came here to fix something,” Bonilla said, according to the victim.
