How Much Would You Pay This Woman For Beatings?

Some people want a beating so badly, they are willing to steal for it.

Abraham Alexander, 45, of East Meadow, N.Y., an India-born, married, father of two, has pleaded guilty to embezzling $237,000 from a heart disease research foundation, where he worked as an accountant, to pay an Ohio dominatrix $250 an hour to beat him.

Lady Sage, a self-described 43-year-old pain professional, featured in several photographs on her website in leather and metal, charges $250 an hour for her painful services. Eight-hour sessions are discounted to $1,500, with clients also picking up her travel expenses for meet-and-beat sessions.

Her philosophy is outlined on her website: "Professional Domination sessions are about good people having great fun .... Once I have my hands in your head, you will be mine. Controlling you with a glance or stroke of my whip is what is exciting for me. I love nothing more than coaxing you to accept more pain and torment for my pleasure. I love holding your very soul in my hands.

Alexander is awaiting sentencing, which is expected to include between two to six years in jail. Fortunately for Alexander, who is likely to be bankrupted by the restitution he has been ordered to make, beatings in prison come for free.
