In Southern California, Laura Illeana Douglas hired Amanda Talisa Soto as a “love decoy” to test her fiancé Joe John C. McGinley and determine to punish him for flirting with her. Amanda meets Joe at a motel and feigns interest in BDSM; she leaves him in his underwear, wrists and ankles cuffed to the bedframe. Laura then enters, prepared to cut off his genitals as revenge, but stops as he rapidly shifts from denial of an affair to an empty apology for cheating on her; declaring him immoral, she leaves.
