I believe the out come was in his favour as to the charges of attempting to import lude or pornographic materials. But I'm going on memory there, I need a date or the plaintiffs name to research that case. I tried running an L.S.U.C. archive search on it, using different phrases or headings, but the search always came back the same. Somewhere in the neighbourhood of several hundreds of thousands of articles on case law involving pornography and Canada Customs. From 1980 to 1999 there were just a few disputes between importers or criminals and Canada Customs, I not sure if I should be worried by that or impressed, hhhmmmmmm.

Anyways I tried reading just the first few lines of each case, that worked out well. I got through about 20 pages and I think I'm going blind faster then my mom told me I would from abusing myself.

If you have either of those, I may be able to find out for you.

Some of you might not be aware that there are proposed laws in the UK to make owning Sado-masochistic pornography a sex crime and punishable by 3 years in prison.

The entire basis behind this anti-sexual freedom campaign is that a woman ended up dead in a BDSM game, it is unknown if she gave her consent or not although we do know she had been playing breath games with a previous Boyfreind.

Even IF the crime was malicious these laws are still to me equivalent to punishing for example the entire gay scene due to one gay rape. Or punishing the Vanilla people due to one penetrative rape.

Do you mean the case of Jane Longhurst? this is fuelled by a great deal of family grief, and to be honest, if my sister died at the hands of a guy who couldn't handle himself (note, he was showing worrying behaviour LONG before the internet arrived) I would be looking for something to blame, as that's a large part of what grief does.

But I think it's wrong to react by attempting blanket censorship. You do this for one fetish, you have to do them all. And then move onto other social taboos. These things snowball.

Also, this news article refers to necrophilia sites, when from what I understand from various documentaries I saw is that he visited mainly breathplay sites. Nobody is saying breathplay is a nice safe family activity, but it's hardly necrophilia. [edited to add correction: further searching reveals that he did actually visit necro sites, but his main focus was on strangulation]

It was presented during the trial that he had made statements about his likelihood of killing someone in other relationships. And he kept Jane in storage for a long time afterwards...not nice, but indicative of other factors fuelling the guy I think. Ban storage facilities?
