Todd Barkau gets 25 years in federal prison ... which just doesn't seem fair.
There are deplorable human beings and then there is Todd Barkau, who trained a 14-year-old girl to be a dominatrix. Not only did he teach her, he also raped and prostituted her on the Internet as a 19- to 20-year-old dominatrix named "Evil Mistress Alisha."

The name was a hand-me-down from mom, who used it in her stripping days. Mom, who wasn't named to protect the girl's identity, is also a waste of flesh; she allowed Barkau to turn her daughter out between January 2002 and February 2005, watched her perform and even got paid a cut through Barkau.

Barkau received his punishment in federal court yesterday: 25 years in federal prison without parole and life on supervised release once he gets out. Oh, and $200,000 in restitution to the victim for future counseling costs. Mom was sentenced in May to 15 years in federal prison and also fined.

As for the gory details, Barkau sold the girl on the Internet with services including "bondage, beatings, burning and genital mutilation." The men paid via PayPal and also with "tributes," giving a DVD player, a cappuccino machine and other electronics in lieu of cash. A cheap price for a lifetime of mental anguish thanks to her mother, Barkau and the pervy fucks who got off on this shit and didn't do anything to stop it.

How do you know the pervy fucks knew she was underage and doing this not on her own accord??

If the girl was legal and consenting then I don't see a problem.

Though, she wasn't so the dad and mom got what he deserved.

If they did, then that is a diff story.

A sentence got dropped from that last comment, if the "pervy fucks" didn't know she was underage and non-consenting, then I don't see them doing anything wrong...but if they did, then they are pervy fucks...

Its a free country and consenting "adults" can do pretty much what they like in the privacy of their homes.
But seriously?
Genital mutilation?
Anyone into that IS a pervy fuck no matter how you, ehm, slice it.

Maybe the girl enjoyed being a dominatrix. We will never know because the article doesn't mention the wishes of the girl.

The age of consent is (or was) 14 in some areas. That being said, she was in an exploitative situation where the adult in a position of authority abused her trust. Whether or not she enjoyed the activities is irrelevant in this case.

"Maybe she liked it."

Yea, cuz all us women just love being RAPED and being traded for cappuccino machines. That's all I wanted to do when I was FOURTEEN.

Both of them should be executed rather than being allowed back into the population. Sick bastards.

Maybe she did want to be a dominatrix and possibly got money and electronics from the "payment". However, even though she might (or might not) have wanted to do it, its illegal.

It also doesn't say whether or not it was the teen that reported him. If she did then all the people involved are pervy fucks. If not, she's just as bad as the rest of them. I mean, if she got an iPod touch or a new TV, she probably wasn't like "keep it because it reminds me of getting my vag mutilated and being whipped. She probably took (and enjoyed) all the benefits of being a dominatrix. At 14, you're smart enough to know right from wrong, legal from illegal and who you can go to if you're being hurt by somebody.

Its still a sad story but it leaves a lot of questions about the circumstances and the girl.

@Justin Kendall, thanks for the link. That clarifies a lot of my questions. This article was kinda vague about the circumstances.

As for Peter Voth, you really are an idiot. And my hope for you and those like you, is that you never breed.

She is a child. Her mother and this man should be jailed permanently. And those sickos that wanted to be dominated should go to jail where their wish will be granted. Hopefully by the worst of the worst. That and daily being bitch slapped.

This was a tragic and unimaginable thing that happened to her but how the hell does the author get to call the customers pervy fucks? They didn't know she was underage cause she was advertised as being 19 years old. Why the hell would they stop it when they believed she was an adult and paying her for her services as a dominatrix. And SHE was doing the torturing as a dominatrix not the other way around.

@carol h.

Wanting to be dominated does not make someone a sicko. You obviously know nothing about the BDSM and fetish community. As other commenters have mentioned, the customers were unaware of her age.

Anyone that would defend this sick fucker is also a sick fucker. Blah you sound like a sick fucker. Personally this douche and the mother should be taken out back shot in the head and left for the buzzards to pick at their flesh.

And yeah, Iʻm sure the girl was into it, come on people, 14 is DEFINITELY old enough...

It is obvious that voth's mother(good guess as to the father) had an abortion.
She named it peter as in a dick.

Wouldn't it be fun to turn voth out and watch and laugh? And that just for starters.

Emily says:

At 14, it doesn't matter what you think you want in these areas. It is common knowledge that your brain and decision-making abilities are still developing, and that you are more vulnerable to adult influence and coercion.

This is the basis behind the laws we have to protect children, and this must be reinforced TO THEM. A very serious issue with child molestation and rape is that children are confused when they experience physical sexual stimulation from abusive acts. Being unfamiliar with how their bodies can respond to something they want to stop causes children to feel guilty or complicit to the abuse.

It is so important to emphasize to children that they are not responsible for this confusion or for any abuse. A child experiencing physical stimulation from such abuse while being mentally tortured is not relevant to guilt. For some, focusing on that as pleasure is the only mental escape from such terrifying physical abuse by those adults with power and control.

Ya know you morons who post things like "maybe she liked it" and "Age of consent being 14," make me go REALLY?
Just cause it may have been 14 in some weird backwater place doesn't mean its right. Also, liked it?!? Even if her mind had been bent to liking it it was wrong period too.
You guys were probably he type who'd be customers and not care if she was 14 or 19.
I think it was said best with
"margaret says:
