Do you have documentation of that? Can you prove that it was non-consensual? Was there a prosecution of human trafficking that followed on?

I ask because I'm not surprised at all that there's slavery among BDSM aficionados, but it is supposed to be consensual, and Larry himself asserts that every slave relationship is consensual in the communities he belonged to, as of 2017: https://www.garfieldtech.com/blog/tmi-outing

So forgive me if I've misread your implication that any of this was non-consensual or forced. You didn't say so, but you seem to be implying that.



Sounds like it would fall under the umbrella of "consensual non-consent (CNC)"


There is no such implication. And you yourself described it as a slave relationship. So I’m not really sure what your point really is?

Their kink was a slave relationship and some people thought that was taking advantage of a mentally challenged woman. He says he even consulted with doctors to ensure they were able to consent. He says police also attended and were ok with it (but Dahmer and others prove that doesn’t really mean anything).
