Florida Dominatrix Accused of Elder Abuse

(CN) - A dominatrix used her sexual relationship with an elderly man to manipulate him into giving her a house and half a million dollars, he claims in court.

Alex Abrams sued I.D.O. Management Inc. and Judith Gumbrecht aka Judith Delucenay aka Judith Martin aka Goddess Jude. He alleges theft, conversion and abuse of an elderly person in Seminole County, Fla. court.

"Abrams and Gumbrecht entered into a sadomasochistic relationship wherein Abrams was the submissive and Gumbrecht was the dominatrix," the complaint states. "At the time Abrams met Gumbrecht, he was 63 years of age, had gone through a recent divorce which ended a marriage of 32 years and was living alone."

Abrams claims he suffers from depression, unspecified dementia, Alzheimer's disease and anxiety. He says Gumbrecht took advantage of his age and his conditions.

"Gumbrecht is a professional dominatrix, and Gumbrecht together with I.D.O., do business under the fictitious name 'Goddess Jude.' She advised Abrams that it was of the highest honor to be her financial slave," the lawsuit states. "Gumbrecht used her sexual relationship with Abrams to convince him that financial slavery would be a level of servitude that would bring her the most pleasure."

He opened joint financial accounts with her and made Gumbrecht an authorized user on his credit cards, and she rewarded Abrams with sexual favors, according to the complaint. Abrams says he was also punished if he did not comply with "financial requirements and/or instructions."

Gumbrecht eventually convinced Abrams to transfer property and large amounts of money to her, the lawsuit claims. He transferred a house to her name in May 2014 and she has spent more than $500,000 of his money, according to the complaint. Abrams says Gumbrecht used their relationship to exploit him.

"Abrams demanded return of his real property and money, and Gumbrecht has failed and refused to return same. Gumbrecht responded to Abrams demand by threatening to expose and embarrass Abrams by disclosing their prior relationship to Abrams' adult children," the complaint states. "Gumbrecht is still in possession of Abrams' funds, assets or property."

Abrams seeks treble damages and an order voiding the transfer of the house to Gumbrecht. He is represented by Brian Mark of Mark & Brown in Orlando.
