This is some sick shit - Capital Region Chamber senior VP allegedly tried to entice minor for violent sex

The senior vice president of the Capital Region Chamber of Commerce was arrested on federal charges Tuesday for allegedly talking about engaging in violent sexual activity with a girl who he thought was 15, but was actually an undercover law enforcement officer, according to court documents obtained by NewsChannel 13.


Over the course of a few days beginning on Sept. 25, investigators said Bardunias told the agent things he would do in person and described “seeing you hurt, and suffocating, maybe even hanged while naked and in pain.”

Bardunias also allegedly said he wanted to strip, beat, rape and strangle her. He also wanted to create a torture chamber for her, prosecutors said. He also allegedly said he wanted to do a gang rape.


He claimed that his conversations were just sexual fantasy, and he did not intend to act on them.

Investigators said they found materials at Bardunias’ residence consistent with his “torture chamber.” In his garage, they found a box of sex toys including a ball gag, restraints and a knife, court documents stated.

It will be nature, physics, chemistry, the way the universe works.

For a lot of reasons, this gives me hope.

I can’t imagine what that family is going through right now finding out that their husband and father is a twisted sexual predator. And the whole community knows it.

I knew a guy like this once when I painted apartments as a college student. He was a swaggering white guy about 40 from the South. Repulsive. One guy I worked with couldn’t take it. He quit.

We humans may soon reach a point where we must actively choose to change our DNA to evolve faster to get beyond our primitive instincts and twisted behaviors before it's too late. Which may be now.
Wish I had that on a bumper sticker..."Humans need a reboot." Thanks for that.
