When in Scotland

Posted on by

Speaking of visiting Scotland to sample whisky – refer to my last post – you might want to avoid staying at the Rosebank Guest House in Perth *.

The owner apparently gets his jollies by secretly filming guests having sex and then watching it out in his shed in the backyard.  He allegedly used tiny cameras disguised as smoke detectors in the guest rooms. 

James Stratton, 67, has pleaded guilty to a range of offences between 2005 and 2009 including disorderly conduct, installing covert video cameras, recording devices and viewing monitors within bedrooms used by lodgers.

On one occasion in 2008 he allegedly kicked two male lodgers out the house after watching recordings of them engaged in homosexual activity.

Stratton had recorded around a dozen lodgers in a year and was caught in April last year when a female lodger became suspicious. The woman heard noises in the attic and discovered a covert camera. Three more devices were found by police when they searched the home.  Wiring from the cameras was found leading out of the house, through the garage and into a shed in the backyard where there was a large flat screen TV, a camera switcher and a large hard disk recording device.

But not only was he perving on his guests.  He reportedly had so much x-rated footage he had to hire a storage unit at an airport to stash it all. More than 8000 indecent images of children and 622 incident film of children were also found.

His wife was apparently not aware of what he got up to out in the shed.

Was she worth it? part 2

Not only did former David Jones CEO Mark McInnes behaviour cost him millions in forgone income, it now seems likely to cost him and David Jones much more in a lawsuit lodged today by the woman he allegedly sexually harassed.

Kristy Fraser-Kirk, 25, a junior publicist who is suing McInnes and the company for about $37 million, said the alleged harassment had been devastating.  In her own words:

"I’m a young woman standing here today simply because I said it wasn’t OK, because I said that this should never happen to me or to anyone,"

"I just wanted to be treated with respect."

In a landmark claim lodged today in the Federal Court, Ms Fraser-Kirk is seeking 5 per cent of the profits made by David Jones and 5 per cent of Mr McInnes’s salary while he worked for the company. If successful she will donate the money to a charity that helps victims of sexual harassment and bullying.

Ms Fraser-Kirk alleges she informed David Jones management about Mr McInnes’s unwelcome advances on several occasions, and on one occasion was told: "Next time that happens, you just need to be very clear and say ‘no Mark’ and he’ll back off."  She alleges that he made unwelcome comments of a sexual nature and unwelcome sexual advances towards her at a lunch function on May 23, including:

  • "McInnes urges Fraser-Kirk to try a dessert by saying the dessert was like a f— in the mouth,"
  • allegedly placed his hand under her clothes, touching her bra strap
  • repeatedly asked her to accompany him to his Bondi home "where the clear implication [was] that such as visit would be for the purpose of sexual intercourse"

She claims she made it clear his conduct was unwelcome and had attempted to use distracting banter to deflect the sexually suggestive conversation.

She claims that his behaviour happened in front of other David Jones employees, including senior managers.  He allegedly sent her several texts the next day repeating his request for her to accompany him home. 

On June 7, they attended another function at which Ms Fraser-Kirk alleges Mr McInnes repeated his desire for her to go home with him before trying to kiss her on the mouth while putting his arm around her. 

She claims she suffered offence, humiliation, distress and anxiety and damage to her personal and professional reputation.  Her statement of claim is very interesting, covering grounds such as false and misleading conduct by David Jones under the Trade Practices Act and Fair Trading Act, breach of her contract of employment, as well as under the sex discrimination, human rights and fair work legislation.  What seems to have pissed her off more than anything is the company’s attempts to downplay McInness’ behaviour, suggesting it was a one off, of a minor nature, that Fraser-Kirk had misread his signals, and that she was frivolously pursuing her claims to try to get some money out of it.  To counter these, her statement describes a series of instances involving McInness which she claims describe a pattern of misconduct which the company and its board would have been well aware of.

Good on her I say! 

Doggy style

Posted on by

You’re visiting an historic site, a dog chases you, what next?

In the case of one 33 year old man in England, you catch it and fuck it.  This happened at Pendennis Castle in Cornwall.  A woman was visiting the castle when her dog ran off after the man.  By the time she caught up with doggy, the man had already started having sex with it in the castle’s moat. 

Castle staff detained the man as police were called to the scene, a spokesman for English Heritage, which manages the attraction, said.

"This really was a very rare and unusual incident,"

he said.  I would hope so.

The man was later said to have made a "full and frank confession" to the incident, which remains under police investigation.  (Actually this says he was cautioned for outraging public decency).  No mention in the story of what type of dog it was, what sex or whether it was cute or not.

But wait, there’s more.  Did I mention that not only is the man a dog rooting freak, he is also a cross-dresser?

Motherly love

Imagine you found yourself in this situation.

You have a 15 year old daughter.  Your husband, the girl’s stepfather is sleeping in the same bed as her.  In fact they have been doing this for the best part of a month.  He tells you that he and the girl are “getting closer” and “have developed feelings for each other”.   You’re livid with rage, right?

Correct, however in one Canberra family, the source of the mother’s anger wasn’t that her husband was abusing her daughter – no, it was anger at being “traded in” for a younger model.

When her husband told her about him and her daughter, her reaction was to take off in the car, pissed off with him, and return several hours later.  Did she act to remove her daughter from the situation?  Not at all it would seem.

Asked under cross-examination if she was still angry with her former husband, she said, ”In some ways. Yes and no.”  I suppose there’s something in the fact that he’s now her former husband – wonder if that had anything to do with looking after he daughter’s interests, or was something else altogether?  I’m surprised her answer to the question about being angry with him was so equivocal – me, I think what he did with the girl is in the category of unforgiveable sins.

The woman told the jury that after police had arrested her husband in May 2008, he told her that he had had sexual intercourse with her daughter twice, not four times as in the girl’s statement.  Well that makes it ok then I suppose?  Is there some weird rule somewhere that its fine to fuck your step-child, as long as you only do it less than four times?

Was she worth it?

Mark McInnes, chief executive of retailer David Jones, resigned today in the wake of sexual harassment allegations by a female employee.

Board chairman Robert Savage told the press that an allegation was made by a current female staff member against Mr McInnes last week involving improper behaviour. Mr Savage said the complaint had come to light through normal human resources ”line management” processes.  The female employee had made the matter known to the company’s human resources management, who had gone directly to Mr McInnes. Mr McInnes then had gone directly to Mr Savage, as chairman of the board, to inform him of the matter.  The female employee, believed to a 25 year-old marketing staffer, complained about two incidents, one at a function in late and then 10 days later on June 8.  Mr Savage said Mr McInnes had immediately offered his resignation and the board had accepted it.

Whatever it was he did, be it get a bit touchy feely with the staff, or make sexual advances, it has certainly cost him plenty.  While he got a termination payout of about $2m he is believed to have forgone up to $4m in bonuses and long term incentives.  Poor darling, only $2m to get by on.  Not only that, it certainly looks to be a career killer for Mr McInnes, who at 45 had been David Jones chief executive for 7 years.  Not only that, but he appears to have some problems upcoming on the home front.  In a statement he issued Mr McInnes said:

"As a chief executive officer and as a person I have a responsibility to many, and today I formally acknowledge that I have committed serious errors of judgment and have inexcusably let down the female staff member. I have also let down my partner, my family, all my staff, the board and our shareholders. I apologise to everyone I have let down. "

It seems he will be doing his penance overseas.  Mr McInnes and his partner would spend the foreseeable future overseas, the company said in its statement to the media today.  I bet he’ll be spending a decent chunk of his $2m severance pay treating his partner to a very nice holiday.

Things really are blue at Virgin Blue

Following on from the sacking of a number of employees at the airline Virgin Blue for viewing and sharing pornography at work, some of those employees are now appealing against their termination of employment on the grounds of unfair dismissal.

Sharing pornography has been commonplace in the offices and staff rooms of Virgin Blue for years, the workers claim.  Far from objecting to this, they claim airline management openly condoned it.

One of the sacked workers claimed that sex had always been part of the airline, from the marketing strategies of owner Richard Branson to staff recruitment methods, and this had extended to the culture of the workplace.  He said:

"Virgin was sold to us as a good times employer and a sexy place to work – it’s part of the culture,"

"The managers knew the porn was going around. It was stuff that was circulating through the company. It was sent to me and I sent it on to other people – and on that basis they dismissed me."

The airline claims each employee was warned about using the company’s facilities for viewing and sharing porn, but they ignored it, and were then dismissed.  But the Transport Workers Union, which is representing the workers, says in many cases this warning was made after the alleged breaches took place, and that workers ceased their pornography-swapping practices once it was received.

Now I don’t know about your work, but you’d have to have been living on another planet to not know that watching porn at work and sending it on the company’s email system was a sacking offence.  That would be the case anywhere.  It would be damn hard to maintain a defence that you were ignorant of the consequences.

Also, I don’t think I’d be going to court over being sacked for looking at porn at work.  Who’d want their name out there in the public domain as being a connoisseur of porn, and so enthusiastic about porn that they spend work time looking at it.  I think I’d lay low and make a fresh start somewhere new.

Not exactly virginal

A number of employees of the airline Virgin Blue were sacked for repeatedly using the company’s computers to view and swap pornography.  The airline said the  (more than 20) staff had been "terminated" this week after ignoring at least one warning about breaching the company’s code of conduct regarding inappropriate internet use. 

Sources close to the airline said those involved were mainly baggage handlers who repeatedly used work computers in offices and staff rooms to watch pornography and then swap material deemed "good".  The source said managers were present at the time and were also involved in viewing and swapping the material.

"The movies were hardcore triple-X," the source said.

The employees’ behaviour was just not in keeping with the airline’s name.  Well not the first word, definitely the second though.  Although maybe it was virginal behaviour, looking at porn as a substitute for the real thing?

Getting the root into root canal

Posted on by

A NEW Zealand dentist has been found guilty of making a female patient touch him sexually while she was sedated. The Dentists Disciplinary Tribunal found the man guilty of professional misconduct over the 2001 incident in which the dentist made her touch his penis.

The dentist claimed in his defence that the sedatives used in his dental practice caused the woman to have hallucinations.  The tribunal rejected this claim as "unlikely" and said the woman involved in the 2001 charge was a "credible witness", while the dentist’s evidence was "less compelling".  The tribunal dismissed 2 other similar claims against the dentist from the 1980’s for lack of proof.

The dentist continues to practice and his name has been suppressed by the tribunal while he awaits its decision on a penalty which is likely to be another month or more.  The tribunal can ban the dentist from practising and impose a fine of up to $5000. It can also order him to pay the tribunal costs, which could be about $80,000 for the six-day hearing.

The tribunal did note striking similarities between the 2001 case and the earlier ones but decided that, given the seriousness of the allegations, a very high standard of proof was needed, and did not find this was satisfied.

New Zealand Dental Association chief executive David Crum said the case was "extremely unusual" and there were "good reasons" why the name suppression remained.  (Well would you expect the dentists’ union to say anything different?)

I’m wondering whether the man got the wrong idea about what root canal therapy involves.

Bad in bed

An American man was stabbed by his wife after apparently leaving her unsatisfied by the sex they’d just had.  Michelle Thomas, 26, was arrested on Tuesday after police were called around 1am to the couple’s house in the east Texas town of Hudson.  The man told police Ms Thomas became angry with him after a sex session left her unsatisfied. He said Ms Thomas grabbed a pair of scissors and began slashing him. Police found the man with superficial cuts to his chest, thumb and knee.

Ms Thomas was charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, although the man told officers he didn’t want to press charges.  That’s not at all surprising considering that when the case gets to court, evidence will be given that he’s a dud root, and also he has to face up to the fact that this is the woman of his dreams.

Which of these will be the most embarrassing for him?

Busy man

Tiger Woods sure has been a busy man the last few years. The US magazine National Inquirer says the golfing star and serial adulterer has confessed to his wife Elin Nordegren that he slept with as many as 120 women during their five-year marriage.

Seems to me that he doesn’t quite get the idea of what being married is about.

I’m actually surprised he had much time for golf in amongst all that rooting.  I think the description “golfing star and serial adulterer” is wrong – should it be “serial adulterer and golfing star” which seems to be a more accurate reflection of his priorities in life.  I just wonder how good he’d be at golf if he was actually focused on that instead of his dick.

The magazine (and yes, I know its a very dodgy source) claims that Nordegren is committed now to divorcing Woods.  The final straw is not all the porn actresses and the multitude of other rather skanky fame whores that he screwed, but the fact that he slept with a 21 year old girl from the neighbourhood he lives in – and omitted to mention this to Elin when it was confession time.
