NORWALK, Conn. (Crime Library ) — A prominent businessman was arrested last week for impersonating his mistress and posting an ad on the Internet requesting someone abduct and rape her.
On Feb. 26, an unidentified woman notified the New Canaan Police Department that someone posing as her posted an explicit personal ad to an adult Internet Web site. When the woman guided investigators to the Web site, they were stunned by what they found.

The Web site was Collarme.com, a bondage and fetish site that hosts personal ads and offers users the ability to chat and communicate with one another. According to the Web site's homepage, the site is "the largest BDSM community on the planet." Long-time readers of Crime Library will recall that it was one of the adult Web sites abuser and wife-murderer, Woody Woodring, used when searching for a mistress.

When investigators viewed the ad, they were shocked to discover that it not only contained the woman's photograph and personal contact information, but it also listed her home and work addresses, motor vehicle license plate number and information on which train she takes to work everyday. The premise of the ad was even more surprising. According to police, the ad said the woman wanted to be "kidnapped and raped" as part of a sex fantasy. The ad also dictated that the respondent not make contact beforehand because it "would ruin the fantasy."
"We acted on it as quickly and as urgently as we could to protect the safety of the victim," Lt. David Bender told the Associated Press on Tuesday. "We felt she was in grave danger."
