THE WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER

     Is this really the face of a wedding photographer that you would hire? Um, yeah, no thanks! This is Mario Antoine of Raymore, Missouri. He's a former wedding photographer who is facing multiple charges after allegedly tricking dozens of women into having sex with him, then blackmailing them to ensure their silence. First of all, who the hell would have sex with this moron? Secondly, who would have sex with this moron? 

     Antoine was indicted on Monday before a federal grand jury on 21 counts, and was accused of luring dozens of Kansas City-area women to fake pornography auditions. The women of Kansas City must be desperate. Antoine, who is 33, was the subject of multiple investigations for allegedly defrauding brides and grooms out of wedding photos and services, and following a recent conviction, he served a jail term that a judge ordered after he violated probation in late 2015.

     The latest allegations against him claim that he posed as a talent manager, photographer and videographer for fake companies with names like "Playboy Worldwide", "Playboy Asia" and "Dash Agency." According to court papers, he claimed to manage private overseas porn websites, and the beginning of 2011, he auditioned victims, telling them he was scouting models for the fake websites. Based on the investigation, Antoine searched on Google for "rape by deception", "rape by deception Kansas" and "Illegal to trick girls into sleeping with you." He's said to have looked at law journals to investigate the criminal aspect of rape of fraud or deception.

     The U.S. Attorney's Office says he promised to pay tens of thousands of dollars when victims agreed to contracts where they performed for modeling shoots and engaged in sexual activity, which he shot and recorded, but then never paid them. When they complained about the non-payments, he's accused of sending lewd images of the victims to their employers and significant others. 

     Antoine was also accused of forging and falsifying documents, including tax forms and checks made out to other models, to make his operation appear to be real. The federal indictment says that he would communicate with prospective victims online while using an alias, and used photos of other victims he shot as proof of his legitimate photo shoots. 

     In one case, where a victim wasn't paid for shoots between 2011 and 2012, he allegedly told the victim she could either pay him $9,000 in exchange for not selling or distributing the images, or she could have sex with him. The news release says the victim had sex with him in order to keep him from releasing the images. In another case, where the victim pressed him for payment, he allegedly sent nude images of her to her employer that he recorded when they had sex. This guy is a savage! Wow!

     Antoine faces 12 counts of wire fraud, two counts of cyberstalking, two counts of online enticement, two counts of making false statements to federal law enforcement agents, one count of obstructing justice, one count of extortion and one count of falsely registering a domain name. 

     I have to say, "Unbelievable!" This guy had a plan to get laid. Unfortunately for him, his plan to get laid included many illegal things. I mean look at the guy. Would he get laid under normal circumstances? I'm sure even he couldn't get laid using Tinder. Sometimes you need to do what you need to do to have sex. This is what he needed to do. I don't agree with it and I find him to be an animal, but my question is how the hell did he get away with it for so many years? And are the women of Kansas City that desperate that they would even bang him? He looks like Igor! Just sayin'...
