Bondage - Laura Manson Stansfield Photocollection

In the late sixties, Dr Laura Manson Stansfield, a psychiatrist with experience in the field of sexual offences, was called to give an expert opinion by an American law office. Their client, Miki B, was accused of distributing and trading with ‘obscene material'. The basis of this legal interpretation was the Comstock Law, passed in 1873, which made it a punishable offence to mail ‘obscene material'. Since then, the individual Federal States have drawn up and rigorously applied their own ‘Comstock Laws'. In 1957, the US Supreme Court ruled that ‘obscenity' was not guaranteed by the ‘constitutional right of freedom of speech' and it was only in 1969 that this same court ruled that the constitution gives citizens the right to own ‘obscene material'. Miki B was accused again and again of dealing with and distributing ‘obscene material' and was sentenced to longer and longer periods of imprisonment every time. In a final trial, which centred around the fabulous photographic bondage material presented in this book, Laura Manson Stansfield succeeded in gaining an acquittal for the accused on the basis of the evidence she had produced that Mr B did not act out of the desire to make profit but rather from a pathological urge for more and more material which aroused him and satisfied his personal passion. Sounds like he got a result? No! Miki B was committed to a psychiatric institution where he had to spend eight years among the criminally insane without receiving any therapy. 516 superb pages of 1960s babes in bondage!
