believe they will still draw the line at sex
between adults and children.”
Blackout president Don Hcxxl told Just Out
he was “dumbfounded" when he learned about
the CWA statement. 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."

several apparatus for restraint and ‘bondage’
along with a wide array of sexual devices, beat

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."

tion about a gay man who was bludgeoned
to death earlier this year.
The htxly of Jack Harvey Jones, 66, was dis
covered about 5 p.m. Jan. 22 at his residence,
3715 S.E. Division St. The retired antiques deal
er had been active in the gay and belly-dancing
communities.
“Friends of his hadn’t seen him for a couple
of days, and they were concerned about him,”
Detective Mike Larson said. “He did have some
medical problems, so they went to find out if he
was O K , and then they discovered him
deceased.”
A reward of up to $ 1,000 will he provided for
information leading to the arrest and conviction
of the killer. “We have some leads we’re working
on,” Larson said, “hut there’s no arrests that are

he Clark County Sheriff’s Office arrested
two men from Bmsh Prairie, Wash., on
charges of kidnap, rape and assault Sept. 5.
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.
