“A man thought he might get a protection order lifted by secretly videotaping himself having sex with the woman he was told to leave alone. He was wrong, police said. Justin W. Fraase, 26, gave the video to an officer, expecting it to show the woman didn’t fear him. Instead, the tape revealed more than enough evidence for his arrest… The woman, who has two children with Fraase, said he called her over to his home to discuss the custody of their kids. When she arrived, he cornered her and wouldn’t let her call for help until she had sex with him, she told police. ‘I was terrified,’ she said Thursday. ‘I didn’t know what to do.’ Afterward, Fraase showed her a camcorder and told her he had taped them. Assistant Cass County State’s Attorney Leah Viste watched the video and charged Fraase with three felonies: gross sexual imposition, felonious restraint and violation of a protection order. She also charged him with surreptitious intrusion and simple assault, both misdemeanors. The video, which Viste said is 30 to 40 minutes long, includes audio of the woman’s struggle and makes it clear she didn’t want the sex, Dahle said. ‘He provides us the videotape and doesn’t realize that there’s all this evidence on there that ends up putting him in jail on all these felony charges,’ Dahle said. ‘So basically he arrested himself.’” —Washington Post (US)

Imagine Mr. Fraase sitting at home wondering how to get the police to void a protection order that prevented him from seeing the mother of his children. (Did it prevent him from seeing his children too?) “I have to show the cops that she’s not afraid of me,” he thinks. “What can I do?” He shuffles through a series of ideas. “I’ll plead with her for forgiveness — nah, I don’t beg nobody for nothin’. I’ll be a genuinely nice guy and after a while maybe she’ll see that I’ve reformed — nah, that takes too long. Besides, I don’t know how long I can keep up that ‘nice guy’ shtick. Let’s see… I’ll buy a ticket to the policeman’s ball and take her along as my date so the cops see she likes me — nah, they don’t have a policeman’s ball here in Fargo.” At this point he must shotgun his fourteenth can of Budweiser. “Wait! I know! I’ll rape the stupid bitch, tape it, and show the cops how much she really likes me! That’s it!”

Right. Sometimes people have ideas that turn out bad for one reason another, and sometimes people have ideas that are just so plain bad it’s hard to even call them ideas anymore. They’re more like delusions. How could anyone ever think that furnishing the police with a videotape that shows them breaking the law — e.g. violating a protection order — is a good idea? Particularly when the videotape compounds the problem by adding to the first crime a second and even more felonious one, rape?

When you google Mr. Fraase’s name, you only get two results unrelated to this case. The first is a news article he apparently wrote for his college newspaper. That’s right, apparently this brainiac went to an insitute of higher learning, though obviously he must not have studied much in the way of jurisprudence. The second result is a joke that Mr. Fraase seems to have submitted to a humor site. It’s a totally juvenile joke: “Say the following line really fast: ‘I am sofa king. We Todd did.’” If you deign to do this, you quickly realize that you’re saying “I am so fucking retarded.” Well, that’s about the most asinine joke you’ll hear in the next six months, but it probably tells you more about Mr. Fraase than his college newspaper article. No doubt he’s sitting in a jail cell right now saying, “I am sofa king. We Todd did. I am sofa king. We Todd did…”
