• Edward Bagley Sr.: alleged slave master.

James Noel pleaded guilty Thursday to his role in the disturbing Missouri sex slave case in which a mentally deficient woman was allegedly sexually abused and tortured for several years.

Noel told authorities that he and other men used a crank phone to shock the woman with the device wired to some very, very sensitive areas (read about it here). Our friends at the Riverfront Times got ahold of the probable-cause statement, which explains how the whole sordid case came together. Read it after the jump. 

According to the RFT, Noel told

prosecutors that he found out about the woman at a Lebanon strip club.

When he arrived at the trailer of alleged slave master Edward

Bagley Sr., he found a half-naked woman being shocked

with an electronic dildo. Noel didn't leave; his "perverted curiosity"

kept him at the trailer. 

Noel ended up paying to electrocute the woman, and he allegedly

witnessed Bagley tell stories about trying to "fuck her to death" as

well as telling stories about teaching the woman the ways of S&M

when she was 17.

Here's the probable-cause statement in its entirety:

In 2006, JAMES NOEL met Edward Bagley through a joint

friend, Michael Stokes. NOEL

became friends with Stokes a few months before meeting Bagley while

visiting local strip clubs in

Lebanon, Missouri, located in the Western District of Missouri. Stokes

told NOEL that Bagley had

obtained a "slave," "it was the real deal and you had to see it to

believe it." Stokes told NOEL that

"it was better than the strip clubs," and that "she does whatever Bagley

tells her to do." Stokes told

NOEL that Bagley allowed other people to "do stuff to her" and engage in

oral and vaginal sex with

the girl. Stokes told NOEL that he had already engaged in both vaginal

and oral sex with her

himself.

In 2007 the "slave" (bottom) appeared on the cover of the fetish mag, Taboo.

​NOEL

went with Stokes to the Bagley trailer in a wooded area in Lebanon,

Missouri. When

Noel entered the residence, the girl was sitting on the floor inside the

Bagley residence. She was

wearing feet restraints and very little clothing, including nothing

above the waist. The "girl" is the

Female Victim ("FV") named in the indictment. Bagley invited them inside

and told FV to do

exercises while Noel, Bagley, and Stokes talked. FV obeyed. FV was

approximately 20-years-old

at the time. FV was "not smart" and did not appear to have a full mental

capacity of someone her

age. She did everything that Bagley told her to do. Bagley laid down the

rules and threatened to kick

NOEL and Stokes out of the trailer if they did not follow the rules.

Bagley especially issued orders

to FV. He referred to her only as "slave" and she was only allowed to

call Bagley "master." NOEL

had never seen anything like it and stayed out of "perverted curiosity."

Bagley tortured FV by

hooking FV up to an electrical device that was connected to a dildo

while Noel and Stokes watched.

The device sent electrical pulses to the dildo and shocked FV at random

time intervals and random

intensities. Bagley told Noel and Stokes that FV had done something

wrong and he was training

her to remember not to do it again. While FV was hooked to the device

and being shocked, Bagley

was chatting with NOEL and Stokes. Stokes was clearly excited to be

there and enjoyed watching

FV.

Stokes provided Bagley with $1,000 for Bagley to transport FV

to California. He also

brought Bagley steaks, cigarettes, cots, clothing, lighters, and cash

when he came to the residence

for sessions with FV. Additionally, Stokes paid Bagley $300 for Bagley

to build a "fucking machine"

to use on FV. Stokes admitted he flogged FV, shocked her vaginal opening

with a violet wand,

tortured her with a sensory deprivation device, and watched Bagley

torture her with a crank phone

while she was confined to a dog cage.

NOEL continued to visit the

Bagley residence. NOEL would call Bagley on the telephone

and schedule the meetings. During these meetings Bagley would torture FV

while NOEL watched

and sometimes allow NOEL to operate the devices. Bagley introduced FV to

"bondage" when she

was 17-years-old. Bagley said the first year he knew FV, he "tried to

fuck her to death." Bagley had FV previously sign a sex slave contract.

Bagley showed NOEL the contract and there was a

"checklist" of everything that FV had to do as his slave. If Bagley had

ever established a safe word,

FV was not allowed to use a safe word to stop the abuse. It was obvious

that if the FV attempted to

ask Bagley to stop, Bagley would make the session more painful for her.

NOEL had Bagley test a

few devices on his arm because he was curious how painful they were. The

violet wand was not that

painful to NOEL, but the crank phone and another electrical device that

Bagley used on FV were

extremely painful.

NOEL used the crank phone and another

electrical device on FV during his visits to the

Bagley residence. These devices were wired inside FV's vaginal and anal

openings and to her toes

at the start of the sessions. NOEL electrocuted FV with the crank phone,

but did not kill her.

Sometimes Bagley and NOEL would each use a crank phone on her at the

same time. NOEL paid

$300 for a special "show" that lasted 2-3 hours that included these sex

acts. Stokes wanted to attend

the special show, but Bagley would not let him attend. During that

special show, Bagley said he had

to be very careful that night with FV, because he was taking

her to a photo shoot soon and he did not

want any burns or marks on her.

NOEL knew that FV hated the crank

phone prior to him using it on her. She had previously

told Bagley she would do anything if he would spare shocking or

electrocuting her with the crank

phone. Bagley and NOEL used the crank phone on her anyway. Bagley told

NOEL that on one

occasion, Bagley cranked FV so intensely that she urinated on herself.

Bagley told NOEL he did that

because FV had gotten out of line and he needed her to get "back in

line." Bagley had at least two

crank phones he used on FV, a five-bar, and a three-bar crank phone.

Bagley

also showed NOEL photographs of FV with her vagina labia pinned to the

wall while

she was standing. Bagley also showed NOEL pictures of FV's vagina

swollen. Bagley bragged that

he had ripped FV's vagina labia. Bagley offered to have FV sew her own

vagina while NOEL

watched.

Bagley told NOEL that he was going to set up a website

where he could stream video

"shows" of him torturing FV over the internet and people would have to

pay to see them. Bagley

asked NOEL to invest in the website, but NOEL declined. Before Bagley

and FV went to California,

Bagley had FV do practice video shows.

Bagley told NOEL that he

had killed a couple of people in the past over a drug debt. Bagley

used marijuana regularly and possessed firearms in his residence. Bagley

said he overpowered the

two people, took them to an abandoned house, and tortured and killed

them. FV was present during

these statements and based on her demonstrated mental capacity, would

have easily believed him.

FV appeared emotionally and mentally attached to Bagley without anyway

to leave. It was obvious

when you met FV that she was mentally delayed for her age. She lacked

the ability to communicate

normally and had a limited vocabulary. FV did not have any ability to

offer an opinion or refuse the

orders from Bagley. If she had tried, Bagley would punish her for doing

so.

In approximately 2007, Bagley had FV begin dancing to make money for

him. FV was

Bagley's only way to make it financially. Bagley said "my bitch is

making me about $1,800 a

week." NOEL went to the club where FV danced. FV had to give Bagley the

money after she was

finished dancing, and NOEL saw her do it. FV would come off the stage

after collecting money and

hand it to Bagley. FV was not allowed to keep the money. NOEL witnessed

Bagley scream and

reprimand FV at the club. Bagley made a video to help promote FV at the

club and it would play

repetitively at the bar. Bagley said he had to "make his money while FV

still had her youth." During

this time period, Bagley told NOEL he had to slow down on the sessions

at home with FV because

Bagley could not afford to have her all marked up while she was making

money for him dancing.
