S&M video producer in Hungary raided by police
A reader* has alerted me to an item on a Hungarian news site, according to which a S&M film studio was raided by the police after a model complained that her treatment went further than she had consented. Three people were arrested.
The Google translator rendition is quite garbled as usual, so any Hungarian-speaker would be welcome with a human version of the story. [EDIT: Krampus had a go at translating the story for us. Find his version below, sans the final paragraph - thanks, Krampus!] As far as I can understand, the woman is a vanilla model who signed up to do a S&M shoot purely for the money, and then found that the pain was greater than she wished to experience. She claims that although her contract contained a safeword, this was not honoured when she used it.
The most interesting information is contained in the last paragraph. If I decyphered it correctly, it looks like the producers can be prosecuted not only on the basis of this incident, but for any previous film they had made, as in Hungarian law consent isn’t a defence against an assault (?) charge. Therefore, modelling contracts aren’t an expression of consent.
The article doesn’t name the producer, but both Mood Pictures and Elite Pain appear to be offline.

EDIT. A partial translation by Krampus:
Beaten woman reports SM filming to police.
On Sunday the police cracked down on the shooting of an illegal SM porno film. After some delay a woman who was brutally beaten in a studio in Ujpest [a neighbourhood not far from central Budapest] reported the matter to the police. This emerged at the police’s press conference on Wednesday. There are three suspects.

At the weekend the police pounced on the location of the shooting of a porno film in Budapest IV, and were thus able to interrupt the shooting of an SM film. Several people were taken away; in all three men were suspected of violations of personal freedom and causing bodily harm.
At the press conference police superintendent Jozsef Baranyi reported that in the past week the Ujpest police station had received an anonymous letter written in a shaky hand. He added that the letter had been written by a mother of seven who was thus one of the injured. The woman left her mobile so that the police were able to contact her number in the letter.
The woman had replied to a job advertisement promising a remuneration of between 100,000 and 200,000 forint . There was no mention of sex, but nuditywas a requirement. It was emphatically stated that it did not involve any work. The woman was unemployed, in an extremely bad financial situation, and therefore replied to the advertisement. She signed a contract, but did not receive a copy. They explained that it was all about a sado-masochistic shoot, but they lied when they told her that she would be very lightly hit, or only pretend-hit and she would play at feeling pain.
When they came to the studio in Ujpest, to the revolving stage, they tied her to a bed and immediately began to beat her. Another r woman had to thrash her with a cane, a whip and a wide plastic thing. Later they they tied her to a bench and to an iron pipe. There was a moment when the woman who was being thrashed was no longer able to bear the beating. A sign had previously agreed and they had promised that if she said the word they would stop the beating. According to the superintendent the sign was that she should say “Stop it, I beg you, my lord!” . However, she begged in vain, the producer took over thrashing her and the woman was beaten until she was bleeding.
At the studio they offered recordings of sessions for sale, but it was also possible , for money, to watch live, active sessions on line. According to the police, many of the videos shot in the studio recorded long-drawn-out brutal beatings. In the studio there was also a room fitted out like a hospital pharmacy, with medicines and painkillers. In that place thee was an orderly of the medical ambulance service whose job it was to provide first aid. They questioned him as the sole witness.
According to the report the police observed the place on the weekend of 23-24 January, but on Saturday they pounced. The raid was a success as a result of the strong police action because the studio was protected by strong security. In reply to a question the superintendent said that the studio had been set up in a disused house in Szilagyi Street. A total of 14 persons stepped forward, among them the injured parties and the witness, and finally also the three suspects. They had arrested one of the three men but they had not gone on to keep him in custody: for the present he remained a free man. The superintendent resolutely denied the news report that a policemen would also be found to be involved in this business. Among the persons injured in the SM film shoot up to now there were five well-known women who had also reported the matter to the police, but the police were still looking for more persons who had been injured. The superintendent thought there might be more than ten, and he believed they might include a number of males. According to information obtained none of the injured was under 18.
From the mail bag
I always get plenty of silly comments and emails, but this week has been particularly fruitful. Is it full moon? Is it a winter freeze in the brains?
These wonders are just from the last three days:
“have sex with me” – Yep, that’s the entire comment. On a post from 2006. Imagine this guy’s surprise if I suddenly responded, “sure, let’s have sex. Let’s have sex today“.
“Wow this must hurt, why not shoot normal porn movies instead, it doesn’t hurt?” – I dunno… ’cause maybe I want “it” to hurt? Did you think that maybe becoming a spanking model was an informed choice? Thanks for your concern, and everything.
“Do you do private sessions? I’m in North Carolina.” – Even if I did private sessions (which might happen some time), it would get pretty expensive to fly me to North Carolina, mate. Usually, if somebody asks me about one-to-ones, I can recommend a girl who does do them, but how extensive do you think my network is?
Then there’s a long, detailed email from somebody who wants to shoot a spanking movie with me, but he wants to use a stationery camera on a tripod, do the spanking himself, and he doesn’t have a website to distribute the film. Explain to me, please, how this is not actually a one-to-one.
“Ur not normal.” – Nope. You got it right, girl. I’m not normal. Neither are my friends. We get together and have not-normal tea parties.
I’m hesitant to hit “publish” on this post, in case another juicy piece of mail comes in just as I post. Ah, well…
