Police discover sex slave cult 
19 May 2006 

A sex slavery cult based on a series of 1960s science fiction novels has been uncovered by police in Darlington. 

Durham Police discovered the bizarre sect after raiding a home in the area, after receiving complaints that a woman was being held against her will. 

But a spokesman said the Canadian was a willing participant and the other people involved were consenting adults. 

The group, called Kaotians, follow the Chronicles of Gor novels which depict a society where women are dominated. 

The 29-year-old woman is said to have voluntarily attended the sect after finding out about it over the internet. 

She later contacted a friend in United States, who then contacted the police, saying she wanted to leave but couldn't as she had burnt her passport and return ticket. 

But a police spokesman said upon arriving at the premises they did not find any evidence of "criminal offences". 

'Desire to serve' 

Police also investigated claims by a father in Essex his 18-year-old son had joined the sect. However police also found the teenager was at the property voluntarily and they had no grounds to get involved. 

Lee Thompson, 31, says he is the "master" who trains the slaves at the Darlington address. 

But he said everything the women are told to do, which includes cooking and cleaning, is "voluntary and safe". 

"It works on the system that some women have a desire to serve," he told the Northern Echo newspaper. 

He said: "Most people think it is a very sexual thing, but it is about every action that they make, they do it for their master. 

"Saying that, the girls will do everything they are told when it comes to sex, but it is all voluntary and all safe." 

Mr Thompson added: "I have been called sick but I don't think what I do is bad." 

Mr Thompson said up to 350 followers regularly meet in pubs and clubs around the North East, in an area from Berwick to York. 

Kaotians are a splinter group of the Goreans, which base their beliefs on novels written by American university professor John Norman. 

The books are set on the quasi-medieval planet of Gor, which has a caste system and uses women as slaves. 

There are an estimated 25,000 Goreans worldwide

Gor blimey! Subservient cult is unleashed on Darlington 

Paul Lewis

If shopkeepers in the suburbs of Darlington had been wondering why they were selling out of chains, candle wax and dog collars, they need wonder no longer. 

Residents living in the town - famous, until now, for railways and Quakers - have developed an unlikely penchant for a strange form of sexual domination prescribed in a series of science fiction novels written four decades ago. 

The practice has come to light after Durham police confirmed they had raided an address in Darlington after receiving a tip-off that a 29-year-old Canadian woman was being held against her will inside a house. They had also received a complaint from a man in Essex concerned that his 18-year-old son had become involved in a quasi-medieval sect. 

When police called at the house they found those participating in domination practices were doing so willingly, and dropped the case. The Canadian woman had been trapped in Darlington, it transpired, because she had burned her passport. 

No one is quite sure exactly why the Koatian sect, as it calls itself, has taken root in a pebbledash street in the north east. An offshoot of the Goreans, a larger group with some 25,000 British followers, they live their life according to commandments hidden within books written by John Norman. 

In Norman's fictional land of Gor, which is divided into castes, couples must ditch any pretence of equality and instead strive to achieve the master-slave dynamic in their relationships. 

Norman's 1960s teachings, which have spread through the internet, require the slave to be the female. As well as obeying the sexual commands of her male partner, she is also made to cook and clean. 

Lee Thompson, 31, who lives at the address that was subject to police inquiries and describes himself as a master who trains slaves, told the Northern Echo: "It works on the system that some women have a desire to serve. Most people think it is a very sexual thing, but it is about every action that they make, they do it for their master. 

"I have been called sick but I don't think what I do is bad. There's no reason for people to be afraid of me. I'd die before I see anyone get hurt. Saying that, the girls will do everything they are told when it comes to sex, but it is all voluntary and all safe." 

"Lots of girls want to come and try to find out about it," he added. "They think it's exciting, but it's hard work for everyone. Girls leave when they've had enough." 

Although there are said to be 350 Goreans who meet in pubs and clubs around the north-east on a regular basis, not everyone has taken to the new fad - nor, indeed, to the man apparently leading Darlington's unlikely sexual revolution. The local butcher, for one, has banned Mr Thompson from his premises for turning up with his girlfriend attached to a leash.
