Oh dear. The sub didn't report her dom, but when she was busted, the cops noticed the bruises on her ass and when she flat out told them how she got them, they flat out did what the law requires by reporting it as domestic violence. Now there will be a court battle on whether it was consensual, and whether consent trumps domestic violence laws. Somehow I doubt their SM contracts will make a material difference in a court of law since you can't legally agree to things the courts deem illegal in the first place -- like assault.
The courts remain completely unequipped to handle people like us.
Anyone reading know these folks? I hope they get some support from whatever local community exists. What a mess.
Olathe officer pleads not guilty to assault, claims acts with woman were consensual
An Olathe police officer accused of regularly beating his ex-girlfriend claims the beatings were part of a consensual, sadomasochistic relationship.
...Cabrera had been arrested after showing up drunk at Percival’s apartment, yelling about “how all men were (expletive),” an arrest affidavit alleges. She ripped his shirt, scratching his chest with her fingernails. He walked out of the home, and Cabrera followed, “cussing at him and saying that she was going to tell everyone that he had beaten her.”...Interviewed at her home days later by Montrose County Sheriff’s Department investigators, she provided copies of documents she said were contracts spelling out expectations for “personal hygiene, general behavior including sexual behavior and clothing,” while specifying punishments if she failed to meet expectations, the affidavit said.
“The punishments could be as simple as standing in a corner, or as severe as ‘spankings’ on her bare buttocks with a belt or other object,” the arrest affidavit for Percival said.
What can I say except if you ever find yourself at a doctor's office, in an emergency room, or under arrest and someone notices the marks of your sexual play, and ASSUMING YOU WISH TO PROTECT YOUR LIFESTYLE PARTNER...please LIE. The sad thing is that real victims of domestic violence usually do lie about the source of their bruises, while sadomasochists (unaware that what we do can and will be viewed by courts as assault) will blithely spill the beans. Stay safe and keep those beans to yourself UNLESS you feel you are being abused.
