‘Kinky Feminist’ Author and Her Son Charged With Running Prostitution Ring

Fay Romesburg (left) author of ‘The Kinky Feminist,’ was arrested with her son (right).

Under the pseudonym “F.R.R. Mallory,” Fay Ruth Romesburg wrote a series of self-published books, including Extreme Space: The Domination and Submission Handbook (1998) and The Kinky Feminist (2013).

In real life, police say, Romesburg and her son were human traffickers, running a prostitution ring in the suburbs of San Francisco:

A Rohnert Park woman who is accused of running a 150-woman prostitution ring with her son is also a prolific author of feminist erotica, a crime reporter at the Santa Rosa Press Democrat discovered Tuesday during a jailhouse interview.
The woman, 59-year-old Fay Ruth Romesburg, is accused of working with her son David Scott Romesburg, 38, to lure women into sex work and then arranging appointments for them at three properties, one in Rohnert Park and two in Santa Rosa, taking a cut of their earnings in the process, police said in January.
David Romesberg is also accused of forcing one woman to continue working until she paid a debt to him, and withholding money from others to meet their basic needs unless they engaged in sex with him or sex work.
In the interview, the elder Romesburg said she is “deeply concerned with female sexual empowerment” and referred to laws against sex work as a “continued assault on women’s rights.”
She denied that any prostitution took place in the home on Alvarado Avenue, which Santa Rosa police alleged was a brothel. . . .
Her titles include “The Kinky Feminist,” “Extreme Space: The Domination and Submission Handbook” and “Never Trust an Angel.” According to her Amazon.com author bio, she has degrees in English and psychology from UC Berkeley and her work has also appeared in an anthology of vampire erotica called “Bites of Passion.”
“Every American carries the residues of Puritanical sexual mores into any act of contact with other humans including basic touch,” she wrote in the introduction to “The Kinky Feminist. “Still, our history isn’t enough of a burden upon our sexual expression, we are constantly told we need more laws to criminalize and legislate our sexual activities.”

Well, of course, she’s a Berkeley graduate! And also a Bernie Sanders supporter, writing at her LiveJournal blog that “Bernie was cheated out of the presidency.” Here’s another of her blog musings:

The American political system has been utterly corrupt at least since the mid 1970s and becoming increasingly worse. As I see it trump is simply the hand flushing the toilet. What we have and have had for decades are the greedy 1% stealing more and more from regular Americans. This won’t end until we understand the power of the many. In a best case scenario we limit wealth of individuals, break up all huge corporations and monopolies and revise cultural perspective away from the veneration of money.
The next few generations will be forced into environmental repair, everywhere. If we don’t stop world wide over population voluntarily then that will become a huge issue. The solutions are all hard but at some point it will become clear that we can’t expand beyond sustainability. Famine, starvation, disease will step in if we do nothing. Our only real solution is for the peoples of all lands to work together through something like a reward system for people choosing not to reproduce and limiting those who do to replacement reproduction 1 child per one adult.

That this self-described “kinky feminist” and her son were running a major prostitution ring is . . . perhaps “ironic” is the right word.
