Autor/-in: Terri-Jean Bedford

Terri-Jean Bedford is the most famous domintrix in Canada, whose legal case against the Canadian government changed Canadian sex worker law. She operated an S&M dungeon in Thornhill, Ontario, called Madame de Sade's House of Erotica, but dubbed the Bondage Bungalow by the press. In 1994 she was charged with operating a bawdy house, and was convicted in 1999. Throughout the Superior Court trial, Bedford's appearance was notable, dressing all in leather and always appearing with a black leather riding crop.
