Cuckolding: Grounds for Termination?

posted by on March 7 at 13:58 PM

Straight people are messed up…

A former Pueblo police officer who said he was fired because he and his wife have a “cuckold” relationship will receive a $20,000 settlement from the city, the Pueblo city attorney’s office said today.

Michael and Tammy Bethel filed a federal lawsuit last year. In it, they said that Tammy Bethel is free to have sex with other people, as long as they are not married or minors, and provided she tells her husband about it.

Michael Bethel is not allowed to have sex with others, though he sometimes joins his wife when she is with others, the lawsuit stated.

The city of Pueblo maintains that it fired Bethel for official misconduct—and they seem to have a case.

Prosecutors said Bethel tried to convince a man not to testify in a burglary case because he was afraid the evidence would include a videotape of his wife having sex with the man. A judge threw out one charge, and a jury acquitted Bethel on the other charge.

The city says it settled with Bethel because tossing 20K at the cuckold was cheaper than going to court. Here’s a link to the story, here’s a link to Fleshbot (where I first read about this case), and here’s a link to a picture of the 20K-richer couple… but if you click through to the picture be careful that you don’t look into Mrs. Bethel’s eyes! Any man that looks directly into Mrs. Bethel’s will never get an erection again for as long he lives!

And, finally, do you think Bethel’s lawyer did his wife? I’m thinking he did.

She wore THAT to court? Or at least to be photographed for the article? Ugh.

And I agree: the lawyer totally banged her.

After seeing that picture, I feel slightly homo. It's weird how a scary woman can make it shrivel up so much...

what i find interesting is how the police will plead guilty to a charge (settling in court) instead of fighting to prove their innocence.

if this were italy would the settlement have been greater?

I've always wondered what the well dressed dominatrix wears to court. I'm disappointed she left the fetish platform heels at home, though. That 20K will help with the plastic surgery bills, I'm sure. The husband? So do-able. I would totally throw down for him.
