Army wife Jennifer Vargas pleads not guilty to damaging son's genitals SAN ANTONIO, Nov. 19 (UPI) -- An Army sergeant's wife who allegedly admitted damaging her son's genitals in a fit of rage entered a not guilty plea in a Texas court. Jennifer Marie Vargas did not appear at a hearing Monday in San Antonio, the San Antonio Express-News reported. Her lawyer entered the plea on her behalf along with a waiver of arraignment. Vargas, 33, who lived in military housing at Joint Base San Antonio-Fort Sam Houston was arrested in October after her husband, Staff Sgt. Samuel Simpson, brought their 6-year-old son to a hospital with severe injuries to his sexual organs. According to police reports, she admitted to investigators she wounded the boy's scrotum and then treated the injury by washing it with alcohol and closing the hole with super glue. At the hospital, surgeons repaired a hole described as being 1 1/2 inches long, reports said. Vargas also entered a not guilty plea to a drunken driving charge dating from June. Simpson has said he plans to divorce his wife. Earlier this month, he posted a message of thanks on his Facebook page to those who have donated money to help his family. "I would like to say thank you to everyone for supporting me in my time of need, you didn't have to but you did," Simpson said. I really appreciate all the kind words; you wouldn't believe how much that lifts me up.
