Lynndie England's infamous leash
• BDSM , • Sex Crime
Sometime back after the revolting details emerged I posted a flippant entry that Lynndie England might emerge as S&M icon: a dominatrix (with apologies to all of you who are) who really had complete and absolute control: no backing out.
No entry has had more visits. So I thought I should bid the young woman adieu as it were.
Her boyfriend 'made' her do it. I must confess that I can't help but wonder if Specialist Charles Graner didn't have some secret craving for her to leash him.
I know theres a lot of outside interests, a lot of pressure on you, he said. I want to emphasise to you these are your words. In morning testimony, England told the court she had been following the orders of her former boyfriend, Specialist Charles Graner, one of the abuse ringleaders, when she was photographed holding a leash wrapped around the neck of a naked prisoner.
She blames it on peer pressure
Little woman, how did it feel as you led the poor man about on the leash? Tingle with pleasure? Feel shame?
"[Graner] handed me the leash and said hold this, I'm going to take a picture," the diminutive soldier said. "He wanted it to look more...humiliating if a female of my size would hold it."
England Pleads Guilty to Abu Ghraib Abuse Charges
She had a grand old time abusing helpless men.
She also posed with naked prisoners who formed a human pyramid and pointed at the "naked genital area" of a prisoner sitting on the back of another naked detainee.
Two other photographs depicted sexual activities.
In one, England posed with detainees who had been forced to masturbate.
In another, England engaged in fellatio with Charles Graner, the father of her newborn baby, as Ivan Frederick took pictures.
I can't blame the masochists who wish it had been them on the end of the leash. Well, I could but won't. Really guys the nonconsensual fantasies should remain just that: wanking material.
The minor note that got so many hits: Lynndie England, military dominatrix
