Manslaughter Charge Dropped After Florida Man Killed During Meth-Fueled Bondage Fuckfest

Disturbing details on how a meth-fueled bondage hook-up between two gay men went horribly wrong in Florida (of course) are here on The Smoking Gun. The man above had been charged with manslaughter, but the case has now been dropped. Here’s some of what went down, via TSG:

Prosecutors concluded that a manslaughter case was “not suitable” to be pursued against a defendant charged with beating to death another man during a drug-fueled bondage session in a garage apartment littered with sex toys and in which the victim was found “bound and gagged” wearing a black leather mask and other fetish garb, according to court records.

Defending his pummeling of Reade, Demelo (seen above) was adamant that he acted in self-defense, claiming that he was fearful of being severely injured when Reade clamped down on his penis and would not relax his jaw.

“Stop biting, open your fucking mouth,” Demelo said he demanded of Reade. Demelo told cops he could not identify the “trigger” that “caused Todd to bite his penis,” though he speculated that “this could have been influenced or caused by the methamphetamine Todd had consumed rectally just prior to the fellatio on the ottoman.” Asked if Reade made any unusual noises “prior to the incident,” Demelo replied that Reade was making “appropriate noises for my dick being in his mouth.”

A search of Reade’s iPhone revealed text messages in which Demelo agreed to “sexual favors in return for money.” The phone–which had been positioned to record the pair’s sexual encounter–contained videos and images showing Reade with a bone-shaped gag in his mouth while Demelo wore “a dog mask,” a “silver chain with a bone pendant,” and a purple and yellow cock ring.

The phone also included a text message from Demelo to Reade that was sent a few hours after Demelo left the victim bloodied and unconscious in the apartment.

“Yo I’m so sorry man…You almost bit my cock off and I couldn’t get you off me,” Demelo wrote. “I got scared and had to get you off some how…Lmk know youre alright pls. U were sleeping when I left.”
