Mountie in Trouble for Bondage Photos

Or is he?

On July 5th, it was reported that an RCMP officer from the Coquitlam, BC detachment was subject to a code-of-conduct investigation, in regards to sexually explicit photos posted on the internet of him and a woman engaged in S&M and bondage activities.

Excerpt:

The RCMP has not identified the officer, but published reports say Cpl. Jim Brown is the subject of the pictures, which show sexually explicit torture images, including one picture where the man is holding a large butcher knife to a naked woman's throat.
Brown could not be reached for comment.
Several of the photos show a bald-headed man with a goatee, dressed in black, leather-like pants, with a large machete. In one image he is binding the hands and feet of a woman who is lying on green grass and wearing a yellow dress.
Nothing the man wears appears to connect him to the RCMP, although he does wear a pair of tall dark boots in some images.

Eww... Girls.


However, on July 6th, another article states that it may not even be him in the more graphic photos. Incidentally, wearing tall dark boots does not make you a Mountie. The constable may, in fact, be the victim of association. And an jump-the-gun news media, eager for more sensational RCMP scandals.

Excerpt:
The identity of the man in some of the pictures circulating through the media has been questioned.
Reive Doig, of Erotica Vancouver Magazine, an online website, said Friday that he knows the man in some of the more explicit pictures, and that man isn't an RCMP officer.
The Mounties have not identified the officer being investigated, but published reports have said Cpl. Jim Brown is the subject of pictures referenced in the media which show sexually explicit scenes.

Worker's Union vs. IML

Those who are attending or familiar with IML should find this interesting. There seems to be some drama surrounding this year's International Mister Leather event in Chicago. By extension, one can assume this would also affect the MIR @ IML events that are running concurrently in the same venues. I came across this post on Joe. My. God.


Excerpt: 
The 34th annual International Mister Leather convention is taking place this weekend in Chicago, where attendees at the host hotel could potentially face a picket line over a long-running union labor dispute.
