An AnderSiN Editorial:
How many times have you heard that the things we do are illegal?
And for the most part, in many states, in many parts of the world, what we do under the BDSM I’m reall can be and does ABSOLUTELY FALL UNDER THE JURISDICTION OF A LAW.
However, clever Lawyers have come up with a Clever effective defense.
From my understanding of this, understand, I am not a licensed lawyer, and this defense has only worked in certain states that allow cage fighting and certain types of physical sports to be played without a license.
Boxing can require a license so it can’t be used as a defense.
You see the idea is that people are consenting to have things done to them that are criminal acts, but because the intent is not criminal and is consented to it changes the legality of the actions.
I am amazed this is not talked about more.
It is worth noting that over the last 20 years we’ve Seen a sharp decrease in the cases that are brought up for criminal just by doing Bdsm across the globe. However, they’re still can be negative, affects in legal trials for being into the lifestyle, especially in custody hearings.
