Woman Claims Big Time GOP Campaign Adviser Sexually Abused Her…But She Signed A Sex Slave Contract…?

This story is 50 shades of cray.

Benjamin Sparks. Ever heard of him? He’s a GOP campaign adviser who’s worked on a number of high profile campaigns, including Mitt Romney’s in 2012. Now, a woman he was in a relationship with is claiming that he forced her to be his “sex slave.”

Sparks’ ex-fiancée, who is not being identified by the Review-Journal because she is a victim, told the Review-Journal that Sparks fled to Texas and left all his belongings behind.

He’s since been fired from his jobs– he was political affairs director for RedRock Strategies and worked on Republican Cresent Hardy’s campaign.

It’s absolutely unacceptable to sexually abuse a woman. Let me make that PERFECTLY clear. Now to the “controversial” part of this story. Apparently, this woman was presented with a contract. It stated that she would be Sparks’ “slave and property.”

THEY BOTH SIGNED IT.

According to emails, documents and text messages obtained by the Review-Journal, Sparks and his ex-fiancée signed a five-page contract stating that she would be his “slave and property.” Under the contract, the woman was forced to kneel and look down when she entered his presence, be nude at all times, have sexual relations with him whenever he wanted and wear a collar in private.

“He was very demanding and did not take no for an answer,” Sparks’ ex-fiancée said. “Over the last month it escalated into very rough sex where he’d actually hurt me. He back-handed me … and forced himself on me.”

OK yes. That’s very very horrible, but why did you not RUN FOR THE HILLS when he presented you with a creeptastic sex slave contract? Why did you SIGN it???? I’m so confused.

The relationship moved fast. The couple moved in together almost immediately after they met. According to the police report, they began dating Nov. 2. Their contract is dated Nov. 3.

In text messages sent a day before the March 29 altercation, he asked her to be bound and blindfolded and have sex with other men in front of him.

She said the request was her breaking point.

But why wasn’t the sex slave contract the breaking point? I’m sorry. I can’t get past that.

The couple argued on March 28. Sparks took off, according to the police report. They met in a Boulder City parking lot to talk things out, the report said, then returned home in separate vehicles.

Later, the woman suspected Sparks was under the influence of drugs and said she tried to leave, according to the police report. Sparks wouldn’t let her leave the house for two hours, the report said. He then called 911 and claimed she tried to kill herself — which she denies. He also claimed that his ex-fiancée had battered him.

The police showed up to the house, but he was already gone.

In the wake of the #MeToo movement that has revealed sexual harassment and misconduct by political, business and media leaders, Sparks’ ex said she wants the public to know the truth about him.

“I truly don’t want this to happen to another girl,” she said. “I’m strong and have a great support system and despite that, this almost broke me.”

Yes. It would be horrible for another girl to experience that kind of abuse, but why didn’t you leave when he presented you with a sex slave contract, and why on EARTH did you sign it? Why didn’t you run for your life then? I’m not trying to diminish her story or dismiss the abuse she’s experienced. I’m just confused.

Can someone please help me understand?
