Ich habe derzeit leider nicht die Zeit, diesen Text zu übersetzen, Nachdenkenswertes jedoch für die die Englisch verstehen:
He says sex game; she says crime
In a string of events ending with kidnapping charges, the defendant s side of the story is one of a sexual bondage fantasy gone awry.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The woman met the man in a parking lot near a mall in Atlanta.
He was an old family friend, she later told police, and she climbed into his
green Ford Explorer. He handcuffed her to the seat.
"Your husband set you up for this to teach you a lesson about your
infidelities," the man said. "He paid me ,000 to teach you a lesson."
He pulled out a long knife and sliced through some of her clothes. She was cut
in the ribs.
Six hours later, a truck driver found the woman stumbling along a Tennessee
road. She was wearing only a bra and was wrapped in shrink wrap.
She told FBI agents that she had met the man only to talk about family and
friends and had instead been kidnapped and sexually assaulted. The man, she
said, lived in Tampa. His name was James J. Kucera, and he had an accomplice.
Kucera confirmed many of the details of the woman s story. He was charged with
kidnapping. The case seemed like a slam dunk.
Or was it?
Four months later, the case has taken a series of curious turns.
Kucera says it was hardly a brutal kidnapping. He claims it was an ugly
chapter in the unusual and dangerous world of mock abductions and fantasy
rapes.
At a hearing in June, U.S. Magistrate Judge Alan Baverman questioned the
woman s truthfulness. He wasn t sure whether to believe Kucera, either.
"This is a bizarre case, at best," he said.
* * *
Tampa defense attorney Victor Martinez says he had trouble believing Kucera s
story when he first heard it. Kucera, facing decades in prison if convicted,
laid bare a world of "on the edge" sexual fantasies and role playing.
Kucera, 38, is the scion of the Chicago-based Kuceras, who own the nearly
70-year-old Watra Church Goods Co. Watra makes and sells products such as
altars and gowns and works with artists worldwide who do church sculptures,
mosaics and paintings.
Kucera moved to Tampa around 1993 and was running the Watra factory in Pasco
County. He was living with his wife and son in a 0,000 home in Hunter s
Green. He had no run-ins with the law before his arrest in April.
Kucera told his attorney that had he met the woman, who is 47, via the
Internet in 1996. She, too, was married and had kids. (The Times is
withholding the woman s name because of the allegations of sexual battery,
though no sex charges have been filed on the allegations. State charges could
later be filed.)
Their conversations centered mostly on sex and role playing, Kucera said.
About 10 days later, they had sex at Tampa s Lettuce Lake Park, he said.
For the next two years, they met several times a week, he told his lawyer.
Sometimes, their liaisons involved role playing. Kucera said that he had once
"kidnapped" the woman from a Publix parking lot in Tampa Palms and then
interrogated her as a "political prisoner." He took her back to his home and
tied her to the garage door with a clothesline for more "interrogation" and
sexual role playing, he said.
In his home, Kucera had installed bolts to secure bondage equipment for them
to use. Some of the games included an unloaded gun. Kucera always did the
planning, he said.
"I don t know why she s denying it now," Kucera told the Times last week.
In 1999, the woman left Tampa to take a job in Atlanta. They saw each other a
few times, but the sexual relationship fizzled.
Last March, they met again and spoke of the "old times," he said. They talked
about a mutual desire to rekindle the relationship, Kucera said. Kucera told
the woman that he would put together a "surprise" that encompassed the best of
their past experiences.
* * *
At 8:30 p.m. on April 23, the woman drove her red Mercedes-Benz into the mall
parking lot in Atlanta. She got into Kucera s Explorer, and they drove a short
distance to a vacant parking lot.
The woman was obviously intoxicated and jumped into the back seat, eager to
begin the scenario, Kucera said.
"Why are you doing this?" she said.
Kucera said he then told her that her husband had hired him. The woman s
husband has not been linked to this incident and faces no charges.
"The language was just part of the game," Kucera said.
During the role playing, the handcuffed woman rocked into the knife he was
holding, Kucera said. They both panicked but later calmed down, he said, and
she tried to initiate sex again.
"I couldn t do it," he said. "There was too much going on."
Kucera said the woman then saw shrink wrap in the back of his Explorer and
asked him to wrap her in it.
As they began driving again toward Tennessee on Interstate 75, Kucera called
an accomplice, Kevin Deady, who lives in Indianapolis. Deady and Kucera had
met at a Tampa strip club earlier this year, Kucera said, and Deady had
expressed interest in mock kidnappings.
Kucera told Deady about the stab wound. The two men and the woman agreed that
going to a hospital would expose the affair, Kucera said. Store records show
that Deady, driving south from Indianapolis, stopped at a Wal-Mart after the
phone call and purchased women s clothes and first-aid bandages. Deady also
said he could take the woman to see his father, a doctor in Indiana.
At the rendezvous site, which was near Sweetwater in Tennessee, she
voluntarily got into the trunk of Deady s silver sedan, Kucera said, adding
that he didn t see her again after that. "She kept saying she was fine," he
said.
The woman said Kucera had kidnapped and sexually assaulted her on the way to
the rendezvous point and forced her into the trunk of Deady s car. Later, she
broke free of the shrink wrap and tore at the wiring in the trunk in hopes of
disabling a brake light.
When Deady became aware of the commotion in the trunk, he stopped and opened
it, the woman told FBI agents. She kicked him. They struggled for 10 to 15
minutes, she told the agents. Deady hit her with a stun gun, causing her head
to bleed, she said.
She said Deady eventually gave up about 3 a.m., telling her, "You ve never
seen me before." He then drove away. Deady later acknowledged that they had
fought and that he had left her on the side of the road.
The knife wound to her rib cage had collapsed her lung, authorities said. She
also was badly bruised and had several cuts to her head. She spent three days
in the hospital.
In interviews with authorities, the woman said she and Kucera were supposed to
talk about family and friends for a half-hour or so. She had no idea she was
going to be kidnapped, she said. During the investigation, she admitted that
they had been lovers.
She told authorities that, during the affair, they had experimented with tying
each other up with silk scarves and that she had sometimes played "nurse." But
they never engaged in any hard-core bondage or other fringe sexual behavior,
she said.

Mock abduction and fantasy rape participants do it for the thrill, said Ava
Cadell, a California-based clinical psychologist. They are often bored,
wealthy and successful, she said.
"They often live in a fantasy world where they don t consider the
consequences," Cadell said.
No one knows for sure if the behavior is becoming more popular.
One businessman in New York City has begun providing made-to-order mock
abductions for about ,500, according to recent news reports. The "victims"
set some parameters, then the kidnappers swoop in, sometimes plucking them
from city streets or busy parking lots and whisking them away for
"incarceration."
And the Internet provides instructions on fantasy rape scenarios. Some
participants even advertise themselves as "for hire" rapists.
The cases can be a nightmare for law enforcement. They become not so much a
"whodunnit" as a "was it for real?"
"The whole point of the role playing is to blur reality," said Park Dietz, a
forensic psychiatrist from Newport Beach, Calif. "In the worst cases, it s
hard to unblur."
* * *
After hearing his client s story, Martinez sent a letter outlining it to the
federal prosecutor in Atlanta, Todd Alley. The letter mentioned that Deady,
who was also charged with kidnapping, had told two of Martinez s colleagues at
the Cohen, Jayson & Foster law firm that the woman was fine when she got out
of Kucera s truck. Deady also said that he was told the events were all part
of a role-playing game.
Sending the letter was an unusual and risky move, as it revealed Martinez s
trial strategy. But Martinez hoped the prosecutor would consider the
information and call off the the grand jury before it indicted his client on
kidnapping charges.
Alley stuck to his guns. The men obviously preyed on the woman, he said. Then
came a revelation normally confined to defense attorneys dreams.
Kucera unearthed photographs he had taken during the affair. Graphic
photographs.
A judge had let Kucera out on .5-million bail. When the prosecutor appealed
the decision, Martinez came to court last month with one of the photos in
hand.
The woman had lied, Martinez said.
The photo showed the woman nude, gagged and bound to two trees by the wrists
and ankles in a Tampa park in broad daylight. The judge allowed Kucera s bail
to stand.
Kucera has more photos he took of the two of them that weren t shown to the
judge. Martinez also discovered that Kucera s maid claimed to have seen the
two of them engaged in bondage in his bedroom.
The woman told the Times that the photos were fakes and must have been
doctored to look like her. She did not know about the allegations that the
maid had seen them.
Patrick Crosby, a spokesman for the U.S. Attorney s Office in Atlanta, said
the prosecution was confident that the evidence would show that a kidnapping
had taken place.
No trial date has been set.
Kucera said he really liked the woman.
He is "full of sorrow" over what happened.
"I m sorry for all of us that it worked out this way," he said.

Moins Just
zumindest auch für hiesige Tops ist es nachdenkenswert, weil problemlos auch hierzulande möglich und bereits mehr als einmal schon geschehen.
