The death of a 32-year-old woman from unlicensed silicone butt injections has lead to the charge of second-degree manslaughter.
According to the New York Times, "Allison Spence, 44, was arraigned in criminal court on charges of second-degree manslaughter and unauthorized practice of a profession. A prosecutor said she and a man who remains at large ran the clinic where a botched procedure led to the death of Latesha Bynum, 32, of Harlem."
Bynum died in July after silicone blocked her arteries, as a result of silicone injections to augment her butt. Spence had arranged the procedure with a fake physician who operated a cash-only clinic (he is the man at large) in New York's Gramercy neighborhood; her defense lawyer argued that she did not actually perform the procedure, according to the NY Post.
