Flutterby™! : NYC prosecutes consensual SM

I wish I could easily link to her archive information, but Debra is currently covering a situation where the New York City DA is prosecuting consensual SM. The defendant is getting some support from the National Coalition for Sexual Freedom, but it's worth a read though to think about how this might affect your own life. The prosecutor appears to think this crossed the line because it drew blood, which should make tattoo and piercing shops very nervous.
