Australian Jean M. Meiers, 58, pleaded not guilty to a charge of manslaughter in the 2004 death of her partner, 47-year-old Geoffrey Braunack.

Braunack died of asphyxiation after Meiers left him bound and gagged during a bondage session while she took a shower. Meiers is accused of taping Braunack's mouth shut and using rope, tape and a dog chain to tether him to a concrete post on their patio near Brisbane.

The paramedics, who were called after Meiers returned and found Braunack not moving, were unable to revive the man.

Police official Joanne Moore testified that Meiers told her Braunack had pestered her to tie him up, but that she resisted at first because she was uncomfortable with bondage. Defense attorney Peter Goodwin told the court it was simply a case of "bondage gone wrong. There was nothing to suggest he was forced into a position and bound."

    • well if he was all into being tied up she cannot really be blamed, becuase it was some what both of their faults, even though she did leave him to go take a shower

    • Sounds like an involuntary manslaughter charge would be appropriate. As she didnt mean to kill the man she didnt do what was necessary to insure he would survive. Ther is (believe it or not) rules to bondage that prevent such instances from happening.....

    • Ugh, that's awful to hear.

      I'm not sure what to think, though. On one hand it was purely an accident and a really unfortunate event, but on the other she could have had him gagged too tight and was neglectful of recognizing that he was in genuine danger.

      Hmm.
