Police File Prostitution Charges

PIKEVILLE, Ky. -- A man and woman who signed a document characterized as a "sex-slave contract" were arrested by Pikeville police Thursday on misdemeanor charges of prostitution and criminal solicitation.
Ike "Sly" England, 31, of Belfry and Amanda Pinion, 22, of Harold claim a notarized five-page document was an Internet form they filled out for fun and filed by mistake at the courthouse.
But Pike County Attorney Howard Keith Hall and Pikeville's police department shrugged off the explanations and issued arrest warrants yesterday.
Pinion was charged with prostitution and England with criminal solicitation.
Both warrants, Class B misdemeanors, were based on the contents of the contract.
Assistant County Attorney Roger Varney said that the slave contract itself is void because slavery is illegal.
Pikeville detective Bruce Anderson said that England was released from the Pike County Detention Center on $5,000 bond Thursday morning.
Pinion was unable to make the same bond.
The contract offers rights to both parties, but most to the master.
Hall said it called for Pinion "to use her body for free or for money."
The contract stated that the slave can marry, but can't consummate the union.
The slave can bear the master's baby, but can't ask for child support.
The contract also stated that the "slave agrees to party with the master whenever the master so desires."
Under the rules of punishment, paragraph F prohibits withholding necessary materials like food, water, sunlight and tanning bed sessions.
England is also allowed to accept other slaves under the contract without considering Pinion's feelings.
The contract lasts for 25 years, and is renewable at the master's discretion.
The deputy county clerk said that she had no choice but to accept the contract.
The contract does not have legal standing, despite the notary seal.
...this isn't anyone that you know, SixFive?
