It’s like I always say, if you’re a Republican politician and you want to have some very rough/sadomasochistic sex, you gotta remember the safe word. Just, let me say it again, don’t forget the safe word. That’s led to some awkward situations in the past. But in the case of former Missouri House Speaker, now political consultant, Rod Jetton, the problem doesn’t seem to be that he forgot the safe word. The problem was that the woman he was having sex with forgot. But then he made it tough for her by allegedly slipping some date rape drug in her champagne and then choking her to the point of unconsciousness.
In other words, what appears to have begun as something consensual (evidenced by a jointly agreed safe word, “green balloons”), escalated into what appears to have been pretty straightforward sexual assault or rape. (It is important to note that Jetton has not yet been charged with rape or sexual assault.)
The part about a rape date drug isn’t confirmed yet. But the woman in question seems to think that’s what happened. And that’s what she suggests in the police report. And Jetton has now been charged with felony assault.
When Jetton left the woman’s home the next morning he told her: “You should have said ‘green balloons’.”
