Heading: F.S. (July 7, 1989)

Text: F.S., a twenty-year-old man, informed the police that he and J.M.B. had been engaging in bondage behavior over a period of six months when a final encounter occurred on July 7, 1989. In a signed statement to the police, F.S. stated that J.M.B. drove him to J.M.B.'s house instead of to F.S.'s worksite as planned. J.M.B. then forced F.S. into the house and tied him up, including tying his hair to a rope affixed to the ceiling. F.S. eventually collapsed when his hair loosened from the ceiling rope. After F.S. regained consciousness, J.M.B. dragged him downstairs and cut some of his hair. J.M.B. threatened to again hang F.S. from the ceiling if he refused to permit J.M.B. to cut off all of F.S.'s hair. J.M.B. then cut off the hair and drove him home. After F.S. notified the police about this encounter, the police conducted a search of J.M.B.'s home and car. They found a stun gun, photos of teenage males performing sexual acts, bondage paraphernalia, hair fibers in baggies, and clumps of used duct tape that had hair fibers stuck to the tape. J.M.B.'s presentence investigation report states that, when arrested and interviewed at the Warren County Correctional Center, J.M.B. admitted that he handcuffed and gagged F.S., tied his hands and feet together, and tied him by his hair to the ceiling beam. This incident lead to J.M.B.'s first, and only, charge for a sexually violent offense as listed in the SVPA. J.M.B. was indicted for criminal restraint, terroristic threats, possession of a weapon for unlawful purposes, kidnapping, aggravated assault and criminal sexual contact. The State premised the criminal sexual contact charge on J.M.B.'s attempt to commit an act of sexual contact with [F.S.] by using physical force or coercion for the purpose of sexually arousing or sexually gratifying himself and/or to degrade or humiliate [F.S.]. [2] On January 10, 1991, J.M.B. pleaded guilty to criminal restraint, terroristic threats and possession of a weapon for unlawful purposes. All other charges were dismissed. J.M.B. was sentenced to a term of seven years, with a two-and-one-half year period of parole ineligibility.
