A 60-year-old woman from Padua, a city in Italy's Veneto region, made a very unusual request to her local fire department. The woman, who has not been named due to Italy's privacy law, was forced to ask the firefighters present at the station for help freeing herself from her own chastity belt, as she had misplaced the key somewhere in her home.
The firefighters seemed to be in disbelief upon her arrival and at first began asking her details about where she lived, as they thought she had locked herself out of her home, The Telegraph reports.
At that point she was forced to pull up her dress and show the firefighters the actual proof of her problem as she exclaimed, "I've lost the keys to a lock and I can no longer open it," according to Mirror Online.
The firefighters eventually managed to break the lock and free the woman and then began inquiring to see if she had been the victim of some sort of domestic violence in which she had been forced to wear the belt. The woman assured the firefighters she kept the belt on because she was worried about becoming a victim of sexual violence acts she had recently seen reported in the news, so she wore it as a protective measure.
Both the woman and firefighters were seemingly embarrassed by the situation and neither have been available for comment, according to the Huffington Post.
