A sex attacker with no penis has been placed on the sex offenders register after he tricked two women into believing they were having 'sex' with him while the lights were out.
But in fact, Carlos Delacruz, 35, actually used an unknown implement when he pretended to have sex with the women who he was in a relationship with.
Both victims complained of experiencing 'extreme pain', were forced to stop and suffered from thrush afterwards.
Delacruz, from Banknock, near Falkirk, Scotland, refused to let the women see his naked body and always performed in bed with the lights out.

Edinburgh Sheriff Court was told that both women, who cannot be named due to legal reasons, were left shocked after they discovered Delacruz did not have a penis and had been using an unknown object to have sex with them.
The defendant admitted to penetrating both women with an unknown object without their consent when he appeared at the court on Tuesday (July 24).
Opening the case in court, Kirsten Cockburn, explained that Delacruz had been in a relationship with both women at separate times between 27 May 2013 and 14 May last year.
Ms Cockburn said: "The accused was in a relationship with one of the women between May 2013 and January 2016 and they first had sex in May 2013. She believed she was being penetrated by his penis. The accused does not have a penis.

"She knew he was self conscious about his body and always wore a t-shirt. [On one occasion] the accused turned his back [while in bed together] and she heard him with a [condom] wrapper. The accused turned around and inserted his penis into her.
"During intercourse he would hold on to the base of the penis with his hand."
The prosecutor added that Delacruz and the woman would have sex around once a month, despite her suffering 'extreme pain' and was only permitted to touch his body over his clothing.
The couple split up in January 2016 and the woman informed the police in May that year after she learned Delacruz had been lying to her and did not have a penis.

Delacruz then began a second relationship with another woman in August 2016 and after two months of dating they moved in together.
The second victim also 'believed Delacruz had a penis' and the couple always had the lights off when they had sex.
She also suffered 'extreme pain from penetration' during lovemaking and on the first occasion had to tell Delacruz to stop as she was bleeding.
The couple then had sex around ten times over the course of their nine-month relationship and the woman also contracted thrush afterwards.
The relationship failed in May 2017 due to 'financial matters' the couple were having and the court was told the woman discovered Delacruz's secret the following month and decided to call the police.

Delacruz made no comment during a police interview and was medically examined while in custody, where it was 'found he did not have a penis'.
No details of Delacruz's gender position were read out in court and defending barrister, Cameron Tait, said he would reserve his full mitigation to the sentencing hearing.
Sheriff, Alison Stirling, placed Delacruz on the sex offenders register for a term still to be determined and deferred sentencing until September but warned the defendant that 'all options remain open to the court at the sentencing'.
