We take this brief respite from political fodder to bring you this story of perversity from the Iowa countryside. This guy has to be a Republican though, right??

Repulsive “Wifely Expectations” pact emerges in Iowa kidnap caseFEBRUARY 17—This country, as you know, is filled with the deranged. And then there’s Travis Frey, a 33-year-old Iowa man who is facing charges that he tried to kidnap his own wife (not to mention a separate child pornography rap). Frey, prosecutors contend, apparently is a rather demanding guy. In fact, he actually drew up a bizarre four-page marriage document—a “Contract of Wifely Expectations”—that sought to establish guidelines for his spouse in terms of hygiene, clothing, and sexual activities. In return for fulfilling certain requirements, Frey (pictured right) offered “Good Behavior Days,” or GBDs. Each GBD, Frey wrote, could be redeemed by his wife to “get out of doing the things” he requested daily. A copy of the proposed contract, which Frey’s wife never signed and later provided to cops, can be found below. While we normally point out the highlights of most documents, there are so many in this demented, and very graphic, contract, we really can’t do it justice. So set aside ten minutes—and prepare to be repulsed. (4 pages)

As always, it’s important to remember that Travis should be considered innocent until proven otherwise in a court of law. What two consenting adults do behind closed doors should remain their own business, of course. What sets this story apart, aside from the child pornography rap, that is – is that the wife was apparently never a consenting party to the ‘contract’.
