UK – A dominatrix subjected a married supercar salesman to a vicious campaign of harassment after he dumped her following a sado-masochistic sex session, a court heard yesterday.

Sarah Smith threatened to expose Jonathan White’s secret sexual fetishes to his family and even circulated explicit photographs showing him taking part in sordid acts, it was alleged.

The court heard that Mr White, 47, enjoyed a ‘submissive master-mistress sexual lifestyle’.

He met Smith, 43, through a fetish website and paid her to be a ‘dominating mistress’ during a sex session at a ‘playroom’ in his house that was lined with sex toys and props.

Shortly after the explicit meeting, the two began a casual sexual relationship and Mr White stopped paying her.

But the affair allegedly turned sour just months later, when Mr White – who has now separated from his wife of 15 years, Amanda – tried to dump her.

The court heard that Smith, who also worked as a carer, flew into a rage and embarked on a campaign of harassment against the businessman, including a vindictive ‘character assassination’.

Initially, she took her anger out on the executive’s Nissan 370Z sports car, causing £6,800 in damage and receiving a police caution after smashing its windows and slashing the tyres.

She also scrawled the word ‘gimp’ – a derogatory term used to describe somebody who engages in submissive sex acts – on its side.

After peppering Mr White with hundreds of messages during the seven-month ordeal, Smith tried to ‘expose’ his fetishes to neighbours and family members, the court heard.

The escort claimed she felt it was her ‘civic duty’ to reveal her lover’s secrets and defended her actions as a ‘public spirited act of exposure’.

Smith posted several intimate pictures printed on A4 pages on the gate of Mr White’s £410,000 home in the Hampshire village of Southwick, the court heard.

When the images, which showed him in a ‘crucifix pose’ wearing a leather costume and surrounded by whips, were quickly removed, she threatened to tell all the residents in his street.

The businessman was so distressed by the harassment that he was forced to move to a job 150 miles away.

The alleged campaign came to a head when Smith traced her former lover to his new job in Peterborough in July 2014.

His boss at the racing car manufacturer told Mr White that nine staff members had been sent a vast exposĂ© on him. The documents contained explicit images taken in Mr White’s ‘playroom’ which featured him wearing a women’s corset and eye mask, while surrounded by sex toys and other objects.

Other photographs showed Mr White being led around Birmingham city centre by a dog lead in daylight while wearing a leather outfit.

“If I’m asked to do something submissive, I wouldn’t want to disappoint her. There’s a certain amount of handing someone control and the excitement of not knowing what’s going to happen next.”

After being suspended from his job, Mr White drove straight to a police station and begged officers: ‘Please help me.’

Mr White told Salisbury Crown Court yesterday that he had nearly suffered a nervous breakdown.

He said: ‘It made me a nervous person, and I wouldn’t think logically at certain times. I was on the verge of losing my job, I was very upset.’

He admitted enjoying ‘giving someone else control’ as part of his sexual activity, adding: ‘If I’m asked to do something submissive, I wouldn’t want to disappoint her.

‘There’s a certain amount of handing someone control and the excitement of not knowing what’s going to happen next.’

But Derek Perry, defending Smith, accused Mr White of leading a ‘deviant sex life’ and said he indulged in ‘weird sex games’.

On a fetish website, Mr White boasted about his lifestyle and said he was interested in fetishes including ‘domestic servitude’.

A picture shown to the jury showed him taking part in a sexual ‘tug of war’ in which his manhood was attached to another person’s nipples by a rope.

Prosecutor Simon Edwards said: ‘Jonathan White is a man in his 40s who has a submissive master-mistress sexual lifestyle. That’s what he enjoys.

‘We say this was entirely unjustified and malicious course of conduct directed towards Mr White in an attempt to turn people against him.’

Smith, of Bristol, denies a charge of stalking involving serious alarm, harassment or distress.

The trial continues.
