"Caribbean Gentleman Seeking Sex
Slave"
April 21 - Anguilla
We wish the headline were a put-on, but
apparently it's not. While visiting Anguilla last month, we were
given a tour of the island by Bob Conrich, who moved there from
San Francisco some 17 years ago. In the April
2 'Lectronic, we ran a photograph of Conrich and a paragraph
about him - including a line saying he was looking for a new
girlfriend.
A couple of days ago, we got an anonymous
email suggesting that Conrich may not be the type of man that
most women are looking for - or that we want to feature in 'Lectronic.
It referred us to www.plazaone.com/rldc/redlite/personal/adds.htm,
which included the following ad:
"Caribbean Gentleman Seeking Sexslave.
Slaves need love too. Caring, patient, strong, self-confident,
hung, virile, adventurous, highly-intelligent, worldly, protective,
conscious, ethical teacher-father-master-friend seeks young or
very young slave girl, submissive in heart, spirit and body.
You will exist for me to use, own, control, love and enjoy, with
total surrender and powerful intensity, so that my pleasure becomes
your own and your deeds become art. Attractive, slender exhibitionists,
those with talents, abilities and thoughts of their own, a sense
of humor and a sense of themselves, and lovers of long distance
sailing and beautiful places who are comfortable with both the
poor and humble and the rich and famous given extra points. Lifetime
commitment, security and other fringe benefits for the right
person. Extraordinary opportunity! These are some of my interests.
See my webpage for information on the superficial parts of my
life: http://www.ai/bob."
The Web page referred to is that of the
Bob Conrich who gave us a ride around Anguilla. So either Conrich
hadn't been candid in telling us what type of girlfriend he was
looking for or someone is pulling a not very funny prank.
In addition, we got an email from a person
who claims to know Conrich's last girlfriend, and says she reports
being the victim of many instances of mental and physical abuse
at the hands of Conrich. We're not going to detail the accusations
here, but let's just say there's fun, there's more edgy fun between
consenting adults, and than there's non-consentual stuff in which
one person is a victim. Nobody should be a victim. It can be
a dangerous world out there, particularly for young women. So
please be careful.
When we presented this information by email
to Bob Conrich, he wrote the following in reply: "As I told
you, my former girlfriend, who is from Vancouver, and who suffers
from borderline personality disorder (a psychosis, in her case)
has been doing everything she can think of to destroy me. (And
alternately writing to me, begging to let her come 'home'.) She
wrote me recently saying she'd seen your item, and thus it seems
likely to me that she's responsible for whatever you received.
I apologize for her involving you in our differences. I have
no secret life that would be a concern to any of your readers."
