BERLIN (Reuters) - German police, alerted
to a potential kidnapping, "freed" a man from a car trunk only
to discover the would-be victim was actually a willing sex slave, authorities
said Thursday.
Police stopped the car after a concerned caller told them he had seen
a woman locking someone in the boot. However, on opening it, they were
greeted by the sight of the 39-year-old man wearing nothing but a leather
thong and a collar.
"It turned out they were a couple from the S&M scene. The 'mistress'
was driving, with the slave in the boot," said a police spokesman
in the southern town of Bayreuth.
Deciding the rear of the car was not safe for the man, officers told
him to sit inside the car and sent the pair on their way.
