This is a criminal?

[gagged_Louise]

Newspaper articles of this kind are not known for being stringent and logical about what the police were actually looking for, or what the crime was. On the other hand the Domme herself doesn't seem to have taken much care - if you're walking around and offering your new neighbours to be dominated and flogged for 275$ a session, then you're clearly asking for trouble.

There was a notorious case in Sweden two-three years back when a top-ranking military officer working close to the Executive Commander in Chief - one of the ten most important military people in the country -was seized for repeated rapes of his wife and for handling military papers in a careless and non-standard way (he had brought rough BDSM into the marital bedroom although his wife didn't want any of it; after the arrest she filed for divorce and the marriage broke up). He also admitted he'd made a number of visits to BDSM clubs in Sweden and abroad, having military papers on him, getting drunk and bragging about his high status .- now being into BDSM or visting clubs of ths kind is not illegal at all, but his careless way of doing this and his bragging put him at grave professional risk, so that was the main issue. Evidently the police - and military intelligence - had been tipped of about his interest in the BDSM/swinger scene, by his wife and others, and of course the tabloids jumped at the case, all the more because all the court action would be behind closed doors for reasons of National Security. He was credited with saying to his military questioners he'd enjoyed the thrill of carrying top secret files and microfilms on his person when he went to a swingers club, knowing he might be courting danger and thinking of what could happen if he was tortured and Dommed.

In time it turned out he really had been extremely careless with classified stuff, military plans and documents , even bringing them home and spreading them on the floor, and he didn't deny that he was interested in s/m. However, his s/m interests were not the crime he was taken in for, or tried for: the point was more he had exposed himself, and the things he knew, heavily to blackmail. By the way, a lot o material was cleared out from the (Swredish and English) Wikipedia articles about this guy, Mr. Tony Stigsson, for the sensible reason that details about his family and irrelevant stuff detailing his BDSM activities had been lifted over from the tabloids,and shouldn't be found on a serious encyclopaedia/information service.
