Man sues after dominatrix turned out to be male

A German man who went to satiate his secret desires with a dominatrix got the shock of his life when a man opened the door and tried to lock him in his sex cellar. Plaintiff Michael K. is suing a man calling himself Lady Gina for bodily harm and sexual coercion after their appointment in December 2011 left both of them confused and angry.

"In our internet chat, Lady Gina assured me that she was absolutely real and of course she was a woman," the 30-year-old told the court, describing the unfortunate encounter in Könnern, Saxony-Anhalt. "When I arrived, a man opened the door. I was held, pushed down the stairs, and was going to be locked in the cellar."

Instead, Michael K. managed to escape into a nearby kebab shop, owned by Mehmet Solar, who recalled, "I was just about to close up, and he came in wearing a torn T-shirt and his trousers round his knees. He asked me to call the police." It was all a misunderstanding, said "Lady Gina," actually 50-year-old Uwe B., divorced with two daughters, who said he was surprised that the affair had ended up in court.

"The trial is a shock for me," he said. "It didn't happen like that at all. The claimant knew what to expect." His lawyer Christian Stünkel said: "My client does not deny the events. But the holding was part of the game that they had agreed upon in advance."
