WAYNESVILLE — A man charged with castrating others inside a sadomasochistic dungeon had logged onto Internet the day before his arrest looking to add to his “stable of slaves,” according to a Web site that deals with sexual domination.
Richard Peter “Master Rick” Sciara is shown in a full-length photo wearing black leather chaps and a vest in an advertisement on collarme.com. He posted similar advertisements on two other Web sites.
“This is NOT a game with Me, I live this lifestyle, have currently 1 live in 24/7 slave, whom I Own,” he said in his ad. “Looking to train other slaves and to add to My stable of slaves also. Am always open to giving experiences and expanding limits, but only with Male slaves and subs (submissives).”
Authorities arrested Sciara and two other men — Michael Mendez, 60, and Danny Carroll Reeves, 49 — Thursday on charges of castration without malice, practicing medicine without a license and conspiracy.
Investigators say the men lived together in a home on Peace Mountain Road in the Allens Creek community and are lovers who had a master-slave relationship.
The men received court-appointed attorneys during their first court appearance Monday.
Sheriff’s investigators said they believe the suspects operated on at least six men from across the nation and abroad from June 2004 to November 2005 in a room off their carport that the participants called the dungeon.
They said they believe the victims willingly participated.
In a search of the house, investigators said they found items including a coffee can with bloody scalpels, a silver tin marked “used instruments,” intravenous supplies, syringes, needles, bandages, an electric shock paddle and a video camera and tripod.
In another first-floor room, the investigators found a Physician’s Desk Reference book along with stacks of CDs and a computer.
Sciara might have learned surgical skills while working as a physician’s assistant in Kansas, although he has never held a medical license in that state, according to its health board.
A 1996 city directory for Topeka lists him as a physician’s assistant at the Colmery-O’Neil VA Medical Center, The Capital-Journal of Topeka, Kan., reported Monday.
Sciara and Mendez moved to the county from Kansas. Reeves is from Atlanta.
In addition to the operations, investigators believe men came to the house to learn “slave training.”
One of the men arrested filmed himself performing a surgery. Investigators said they found the DVD when they searched the home on Wednesday.
Investigators would not say whether the DVD was made for sale. They also would not say whether anyone was paid for the surgeries.
Sheriff Tom Alexander, after the hearing on Monday, said investigators have more questions about the activities at the house. He said the investigation is continuing.
“I don’t know why it was done,” he said of the castrations. “I can’t speculate on why.”
He said he has not had trouble with the men in jail. They are in the general population at the county’s Detention Center.
District Attorney Michael Bonfoey said the castration law was likely written to protect sex offenders against vigilantes.
He said a case of castration without malice is extremely rare. Consenting to castration, he said, is not a defense under North Carolina law.
