Sounds like a con-cock-ted story to me. Presumably she is kneeling in front of him whilst he has a grip on the frying pan. Oil is spilt, she clamps and injury to nether region occurs. Assuming the pan is above her head, if he reacted straight away with the lunge using the pan then surely he would have caught her on the top of the head (foolhardy as that would possible tighten the dental clinch!) or around the side of the head. How did she get a broken nose and two black eyes? Can only see that happening if he caught her square in the face with the pan which, still being hot, would have left burn marks as well as bruising!!!!
