Man Hides Identity To Sleep With Estranged Wife Twice; Inspired By The Book “Fifty Shades of Grey”

A New Zealand man has been cleared of raping his
estranged wife while pretending to be her young lover in a
case partially inspired by the novel Fifty Shades of Grey.
The man was facing two counts of rape and four charges of
unlawful sexual connection after having sex with the
woman twice last year with his identity hidden by a
balaclava and sunglasses on both occasions. Defence lawyer
Paul Keegan said it was the 'most bizarre and complex case
that I've seen in 15 years'.

New Plymouth District Court was told the unnamed couple,
from Stratford in the North Island, were separated after a
15-year marriage and had one child together. They had
kept in touch, but a few months after the separation the
man began sending texts to his former wife from a new
mobile phone, not revealing his identity, Fairfax New
Zealand reported. Instead, he assumed the persona of a
20-year-old man and the communications between the pair
became increasingly sexually charged.

It said the pair agreed to a sexual liaison but the man
claimed he was nervous and did not want to show his face,
so he donned a balaclava and communicated with her only
by gestures. The second time it happened, she followed him
and complained to police after becoming suspicious. Keegan
said a copy of Fifty Shades of Grey and The Diary of a
Submissive: A Modern True Tale of Sexual Awakening were
found in the woman's bedroom.

He said many of the texts exchanged between the pair
were inspired by the EL James tale of a sado-masochistic
relationship between a college graduate, Anastasia Steele,
and a young business magnate, Christian Grey. Keegan
said his client had always maintained that his estranged
wife knew it was him or at least thought it might be him.
Fairfax reported that the defence lawyer said there were
'serious concerns about the credibility of the victim'. Judge
Allan Roberts acquitted the man on all charges, saying it
was the most extraordinary case he had presided over,
Fairfax reported.

Hmmm, this is also one of the most bizarre stories I have
read in a long time! Do you actually believe the enstranged
wife did not know she was sleeping with her ex-husband?
