Woman set friend on fire after sexist comment

A 24-year-old woman, Corbie Jean Walpole, pleaded guilty to setting her friend on fire after he made a sexist comment, and is awaiting sentencing. The incident occurred on January 7, 2024, after a party at Walpole's home where she and her friend, Jake Loader, had been drinking. Loader told Walpole to "stay in the kitchen," which led her to pour fuel on him and ignite it. Loader suffered severe burns, requiring extensive medical treatment and leaving him unable to expose his skin to the sun. Walpole expressed remorse in court, and sentencing will be held later in May.
