This is a slight digression, but it is rather funny, so I will do it. Here in Sweden there was a famous spanking case something like 10 or 15 years ago. There was this guy, his name was Hans Schejke, if my memory does not fail me. He got a real scam going.
He fooled young women into thinking that there would be real benefits for them - if they agreed to join his "religious cult", whose main activity consisted of him, Hans Schejke, giving the young women *birchings* on their bare bottoms! This guy was something like 60 years old at the time - so he was one of those proverbial "dirty old men". And, believe it or not, he managed to aquire a rather large group of "birching groupies". He had a cabin out in the woods of central Sweden, which is covered with forests. And he and his "harem" lived there in a sort of commune. And Hans Schejke whiled away his hours birching those gullible young women!
Eventually, Hans Schejke was busted and sent to jail. I do not know just exactly what the charges were. For, to the best of my knowledge, all of those "birching groupies" were over the age of 18 and they consented to being birched.
Well, I guess that Hans Schejke´s quasi-religious cult was more benign than that of, for example, Ron L. Hubbard. At least Hans Schejke did not rob his victims blind. All he did was give them a sore bottom!
But, unfortunately, the "Hans Schejke affair" gave the spanking fetish a bad reputation here in Sweden. We Swedish spankos are still, 10 or 15 years later, trying to live this scandal down. |
