Predators
by Master Tatu
Introduction Investigators discovered that this man had several lives and identities. In the 80's he was arrested and convicted on numerous felonies, mostly involving con artist activities, ripping off or swindling even close friends out of money. He was a very smooth talking and convincing man. While in prison, he was so good at what he did, he was able to convince the prison doctor that he was so ill, that he should be released. Once out the prison doctor's wife left her husband to join Robinson. She was not heard from for 15 years until her body was discovered in on of those barrels in that storage unit. He focused on passing himself off as one who tried to help those in trouble, the inexperienced, especially the young women. While he seemed just a slick con artist, ultimately he was a very dangerous man, capable of very ugly acts. BDSM What is disturbing was when we learned how BDSM came into this story. He took an identity in the world of BDSM as a Master using the name "slavemaster". He posted a personal on the very well know site "Alt.com". From there he attracted who knows how many women. One of the women he met via his personal and through the world of BDSM was a Perdue University Co-ed, who also ended up in one of those barrels. A Survivor One woman who survived John Robinson was interviewed. She got a little suspicious and did a background check, and was horrified, when she learned of his life long record of numerous felonies. Some Guidelines: She survived because she was smart. All would be wise to learn from her. While I have proposed since 1996 that women especially do their homework with background checks, I want to re-emphasize it again. If you make internet contact with a prospective BDSM play partner, do your homework. Today in the state of Florida, you can access free via internet the Department of Corrections records and see if that person you are interested in is on probation or parole and for what. You can also get complete rap sheets from the FDLE via internet for only $15. If the person you think you want to meet is not well known, then do a background check. BDSM people are very vulnerable to predators. It is so easy to make up and "experienced Dom" identity and pull off a con online. Don't be foolish. If no one knows this person, don't proceed. Some red flags to consider: 1) If he is secretive, and tries to convince you that he is a very high profile person in the vanilla world, wants absolute discretion, and insists you tell no one... he's probably married, but he could also be potentially very dangerous. 2) If he resists common sense and tries to throw around "don't you trust me?" type talk, be careful. Don't forget BDSM is about consensual power exchange. Ultimately the submissive is in charge and creates the final boundaries. 3) Don't fall for the, "you're not a real slave/submissive if you need boundaries or safe words" talk. That is TOTAL BS. If he doesn't care about your safety and respect your boundaries or limits, run like hell. 4) Never put yourself with someone you don't really know, in a position of not being able to get away. In fact your first encounters should be preferable in public, and first private play should be with trusted friends. If you have mentors or close friends watching out for you, involve them. If he resists, or tries pressure techniques, dump him. 5) Use safe calls. Gather all of the information such as name, address, phone number, driver's license number, etc. from your prospective play partner and give it to your third party safe call. Make the calls. 6) Finally, simply realize your life depends on using common sense. Do not buy into the lie or illusion that somehow BDSM people are an honorable community with nothing but safe people who will respect you. The BDSM community is no different from vanilla. There are liars, fakirs, con artists and predators everywhere. If anything BDSM people are more vulnerable to these people I know, as I fell prey to a couple of predators a couple of years ago. Today these people go around calling me an "outer". What they mean is, that after they attempted to hurt a sumbissive by contacting her former husband and sending pictures of her, I found our about their 30 year career of felony crimes and exposed them and their con game in the community after they hurt a submissive and went after her children. If that is outing, so be it, I would do it again in a New York minute. These people were the embodiment of the satanic and all that is evil. As it finally came out they hurt a number of people, attempted to scam several, and ripped off several monetarily. So, be smart, be wise. Check out that person you want to be involved with. Your life may depend on it.
