AUSTRALIA – New South Wales man James-Robert Davis is facing several fresh criminal charges after having already spent 21 months behind bars on remand over what has been described as an “obedient BDSM relationship” with numerous women.
The alleged leader of ‘House of Cadifor’, and former Australian Defence Force soldier and prison guard was finally released from custody after his third bail application, since being charged with 40 criminal offences including causing sexual servitude and slavery in respect of several women with which he had a polyamorous relationship at his rural property near Armidale in the Northern Tablelands of New South Wales. The successful bail application was made after the most serious of those charges were withdrawn.
The latest charges relate to four women and include several counts of assault occasioning actual bodily harm, distributing intimate images without consent and intimidation with intent to cause physical or mental harm.
He has pleaded not guilty to all of the charges and is scheduled to face District Court jury trials in April and May of this year.
