He emphasized the leather community’s creed, which frowns on sex that isn’t “safe, sane and consensual.” “It’s a hunch of bullshit,” H(xxJ said. “These women have nothing better to do than to ding the mayor for doing something good? For Christ’s sake, go after the Catholic priests.” Hixxl explained Leather Pride was intended to promote unity and to raise money for Camp Starlight, a summer event for children affected by HIV/A1DS. What people did at home on their own free time is another matter, he added. Sarah Bott, Katz’s communications director, said the mayor’s office is getting slammed by cor respondence both praising and condemning the proclamation. Despite all of the backlash, City Hall is standing by its word. “We’ve received a handful of very negative, vitriolic e-mails from people who seem to have been guided by the Concerned Women for Amer ica’s completely biased and inaccurate story,” Bott said. “The request for the proclamation fell under the guidelines of the mayor’s proclamation policy as a nonprofit, noncommercial organization, and she’s not apologetic about it." ❖ BUSINESS FORMATION & LITIGATION • Corporations, Partnerships, LLCs & LLPs • Commercial Collections of large accounts much like a hospital, complete with operating tables, electronic equipment, surgical tools and video camera. “T he room also contained several apparatus for restraint and ‘bondage’ along with a wide array of sexual devices, beat ing and whipping instruments, and devices with locks for appendage restraints,” a sheriff’s office statement said. Leather community leader Andy Mangels told Just Out he conducted some research online and discovered the situation could he more complex than investigators realize. “From the public statements in chat rooms and Web sites o f the alleged perpetrators, it seems inconceivable that the alleged victim was not aware that he was dealing with a situ ation in which rape fantasies would he pres ent,” he said. “W hen and if he consented, or removed his consent, to participate in those fantasies is a question— and an extremely murky question at that."

Michael Aaron Wilson, 45, and William Joseph Fritsch, 22, allegedly held a 47-year-old Seattle transient captive as a “sex slave” and repeatedly tortured him until his eventual escape. According to court papers, the suspects con- finned the account of events in their house hut contended it was consensual sexual role-playing. The homeless man initially contacted Wilson and Fritsch via the Internet. They eventually pro vided him with a Greyhound ticket to Portland. The suspects met the man Aug. 28 at the bus depot and, before driving to Vancouver, made him disrobe. He said he then was handcuffed, injected with an unknown substance, gagged and covered with a hood over his head and a blanket over his body. Once at the suspects’ residence, the man allegedly was held in a “torture chamber” for the next eight days. He said he endured repeated heatings and sexual abuse. The man was led to believe that every door and window of the residence was wired to mon itor any escape attempt. He said he managed to get away through a window that had been left ajar while his alleged captor slept. Deputies found the man to have restraints with padlocks on his wrists and ankles along with bruises and marks from handcuffs and shackles. He was treated at Southwest Washington Med ical Center, and a rape advocate is assisting him.
