NESS CITY, Kan. (AP) _ Ness County authorities have filed charges against the boyfriend of a woman who apparently spent nearly two years in her bathroom.

Ness County Attorney Craig Crosswhite says 37-year-old Kory McFarren is charged with mistreatment of a dependent adult.

McFarren called the sheriff's office last month to say something was wrong with his girlfriend.

When authorities arrived at the home, they found 35-year-old Pam Babcock stuck to the toilet. They think she had sat there for about a month.

McFarren told police that his girlfriend had been in the bathroom for about two years, and that he brought her food and water daily. He said he repeatedly asked her to come out, but her reply was usually, "maybe tomorrow.''
