Police say Allan George Matthews, 56, responded to an online advertisement posted in May by a 52-year-old man requesting help with a medical issue.
The two men then met at a motel in Port Macquarie, on the state’s mid-north coast, where the younger man’s left testicle was allegedly surgically removed by Matthews, who police say was not a qualified doctor.
A week later, the younger man showed up at hospital seeking help with a wound he had sustained during the illicit operation.
Matthews faced Port Macquarie Local Court on Wednesday and entered a guilty plea to a charge of removing tissue from the body of another person without proper consent or authority.
He has also admitted charges of possessing a prescribed restricted substance, unauthorised possession of a firearm and failure to keep a firearm safely, but will fight a charge of reckless grievous bodily harm, according to court records.
He is yet to enter a plea to the charge of causing grie`vous bodily harm with intent.
Matthews will remain on bail until his case returns to court on August 18. – news.com.au
