Kink.com home "The Armory" Shut Down Seven Days After Trump Took Office ( pizzagate )

submitted by Infopractical

BDSM porn titan Peter Acworth closed the Armory on January 27, 2017, just seven days after Trump took office. ( http://exoduscry.com/blog/general/worlds-largest-torture-porn-studio-shuts-doors/) )

Acworth's has been arrested in the past on drug charges while police searched his castle-like home-studio for illegal weapons. ( http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/02/12/peter-acworth-arrested_n_2670823.html) )

The Armory has reportedly housed coercive business related to BDSM porn as well as sexual assaults perpetrated against numerous workers, many of whom were afraid to speak out. * https://mic.com/articles/129866/what-s-going-on-at-kink-com-the-studio-at-the-center-of-the-james-deen-allegations#.lDDwENQXL * http://www.xojane.com/issues/kink-com-peter-acworth-maggie-mayhem * http://archives.sfweekly.com/sanfrancisco/gag-order-sex-workers-allege-mistreatment-at-kinkcom/Content?oid=2188021 * http://pitvonline.com/2015/11/30/the-floods-rush-in-more-women-accuse-bdsm-porn-producer-james-deen-of-assault/

Acworth is said to be associated with Derek Hay who is rumored to be involved in international human trafficking and pimping: https://forum.davidicke.com/showthread.php?page=2&t=262833

Acworth may even have associates stalk and harass women who make accusations against him or his associates: http://sexindustrymafia.blogspot.com/2014/05/free-speech-coalition-is-mafia-front_6269.html

Acworth has helped make numerous documentaries about the sex trade specifically in the United States: http://imdb.filmha.in/title/tt2246924/?ref_=tt_rec_tti

Perhaps this guy is just a clever pornographer with an education in finance to help him plan well. But the timing of his closure strikes me as worthy of further investigation.

Some of their models look young, but not Pizzagate worthy young. I think they go above and beyond to make sure they are 18, since it's not "normal" sex that's going on there. The post-interview "I'm loving it" bits are kinda weird, but understandable since they are engaging in activities some people would only do under force. Though it could be argued that they are coerced to say that so...

Didn't James Franco do a film about this place?

There are no children in San Francisco (only half kidding). But rumor has it, the Armory was planning to close because of the mandatory-condom law on the November ballot. The law was defeated, but they're moving ahead with the move for financial reasons.

Everyone smile now and let us know you weren't harmed during the making of this post.

Fwiw I live a few blocks from the armory. Rumor on the street is it shut it's doors because of the cost of renovating the building.

If thats true I'd expect them to pop up in a new location soon.

I believe that in the articles I posted, somewhere, it was said that Acworth tried to rent out two floors as office space, but that process didn't worth out. I also read that his associates were planning to relocate and continue their own careers, but I'm not in the know well enough to verify any of this.

Mmmmm... as a bdsm professional (don't ask)... I'll look into this. But I'm starting with that I've only ever heard of adult sex, drugs, and rock'n'roll happening there.

A BDSM professional 🤔

srayzie

I'll have to take your word for it lol

Thanks for your comment. I'm surprised you haven't heard about the James Dean assaults and don't know that there have been several complaints against Acworth outside of that because even I'd heard about those things and I've never been into BDSM porn at all. But I do believe in the presumption of innocence. If everything has been above board, then he has done a favor to the consenting sex profession! But I do believe this is worth a look.

Edit: Also, thank you sincerely for offering to look into it. As an insider, your contributions may be the most valuable.

Feelers are out. Will let you know if they've heard anything. Keep in mind that my contacts are vehemently against rape and diddling kids, so they may not have been let into "the know".

Kawksnahch

a lot of women stopped being into him when all that came out, btw

rail606

Yeah except my crazy ex haha. She said I was better then james dean. It was after that I stopped dating girls that like to be choked lol.

Kawksnahch

But yeah, they're generally up... "out there" if choking's on the menu.

Kawksnahch
