Ex-Romney staffer faces domestic abuse charge; reportedly had fiance sign sex slave contract

Source: USA Today

A Las Vegas political adviser who has worked on national campaigns for Republican candidates, including Mitt Romney's 2012 presidential campaign, physically abused his ex-fiancée and had her sign a contract to be a "slave in training," according to a report published Wednesday in the Las Vegas Review-Journal.

The Review-Journal said the 46-year-old woman — whom the paper did not identify — gave reporters copies of emails, text messages and a signed copy of the five-page contract, which was dated Nov. 3, detailing her role as Benjamin Sparks' "slave and property."

The contract required the woman to kneel and avert her eyes "when she entered his presence, be nude at all times, have sexual relations with him whenever he wanted and wear a collar in private," the Review-Journal reported.

"He was very demanding and did not take no for an answer," Sparks’ ex-fiancée told the paper. "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."

How do they ever have enough time to do their official jobs? Maybe that's why they do them so poorly.

Had to find a photo of this Boy Wonder, Benjamin Sparks:

Do you think Presidential Candidate Romney was thinking of Benjamin Sparks, when he said "We have binders of women"?

Sparks also helped Gov. Scott Walker triumph over the sane people who tried to recall him.

Mitt Romney's White House campaign adviser, 35, 'made ex-fiancee his SLAVE forcing her to stay nude at all times, wear a collar and have sex on demand'

Required her to dip head in his presence and have sex whenever he demanded it

Police visited woman's Vegas home on March 23 after alleged domestic abuse

Sparks has worked for many politicians including Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker

His current location is now known and he has not responded to the allegations

I have never met one stupid enough to sign a “sex slave contract”. Nor have I wanted to, because I value intelligence. I have seen my country become a giant Jerry Springer Show.

On top of it all, the skinny bastard forgot the NDA clause. Now what good is a sex slave contract without an NDA clause? I bet even the ones from Staples have those in there.
