It was a twisted marriage of a masochist and sadist, a master-slave arrangement that performed depraved sexual acts on young children and a dog – and recorded some of them.

Jason Dickens, a former Degrassi High actor, pleaded guilty Tuesday to several child pornography offences, including two counts of making child pornography.

The tale of debauched and sordid activities started after Dickens, now 47, met his masochistic future wife Dylan McEwen, now 33, on Aug. 11, 2004 through a web-site called bondage.com.

The two active BDSM community members started a three-month trial period as Dominant and Submissive.

“They wanted to ensure that they both wished to continue the relationship further into the Master/slave realm,” said Crown attorney Jennifer Gibson in reading an agreed statement of fact before Justice Stephen Clark.

McEwen, who pleaded guilty to sexual assault and two child pornography offences, was sentenced to six years imprisonment this year.

“It wasn’t the sexual acts with children that McEwen found stimulating but the extreme humiliation of this involvement and how that in turn fed into her masochism,” a psychiatrist told an earlier hearing.
