A Sydney man has
faced court over charges of possessing a slave, reducing a
person to slavery and causing a person to enter into or remain in
servitude.
The offences are alleged to have occurred between June 2013 and
July 2015 in Maroubra in Eastern Sydney.
James Robert Davis, who served with the Australian Defence Force
for 17 years, was arrested last week by the Australian Federal
Police (AFP).
The 40-year old has always been open about his lifestyle, which
includes polyamorous relationships with women, as well as BDSM
– or bondage, discipline (or domination), sadism (or
submission) and masochism – which often involves tying up a
partner and giving and/or receiving pain.
