An unlicensed doctor who
specialized in cut-rate b*tt injections by allegedly using Fix-A-Flat and
cement to shape derrieres will spend a year in jail for the illicit procedures.
In a deal with prosecutors, Ron
Oneal Morris pleaded guilty Thursday morning in Miami to one count of
practicing healthcare without a license and was sentenced to 336 days in state
prison.
Morris, who was born a man but
identifies as a woman, will begin serving her sentence in January, UPI.com
reported.
Morris reportedly started the black
market plastic surgery in 2007, and many of her patients were
transgendered women seeking feminine curves, the New York Daily News
reported.
An accomplice Corey Eubank and
Morris were arrested in November, 2011, after several victims alleged they had
injected their legs and buttocks with a mixture that included Fix-a-Flat,
cement and superglue, according to NBC Miami.
Shortly after the allegations became
public, Morris proclaimed, ”I really am innocent or whatever,” the
Miami New Times reported.
In July 2012, Morris was arrested
again, this time on manslaughter charges for the death of Shatarka Nuby. The
32-year-old who allegedly paid at least $2,000 for treatments to enhance her
buttocks, hips, thighs and br**sts.
The trial for that case is still
pending,NBC Miami reported.
Prosecutors said they worked out
today’s deal with Morris’ attorney because of the lack of physical evidence and
the reluctance of witnesses to testify. In addition, investigators never found
evidence that Morris actually used Fix-A-Flat in her injections, CBS
Miami reported.
Morris will be credited with time
already served, but could have more time added if she breaks the law
before starting her sentence on Jan. 7, WSVN-TV reported.
