SANTA ANA, Calif. - A great-grandmother dominatrix has beaten the system.
On Thursday, authorities returned whips, chains and other bondage tools seized during a raid on the residential dungeon of Betty Davis.
"I love them. They're just my play toys," Davis, 60, told reporters. She brandished a cat o' nine tails with plastic lashes, explaining "This is for someone who enjoys a little sting on their butts."
Davis wore black tights, a black see-through blouse and high heels as she picked up the bondage items from the Orange County Sheriff's Department, where they had sat in the property room for months.
Davis, who claims to have 12 grandchildren and two great-grandchildren, was arrested on Feb. 2 for investigation of soliciting prostitution after an undercover sheriff's deputy answered an ad in a bondage magazine and was led blindfolded to her townhouse.
But prosecutors refused to charge her for lack of evidence. Davis has fought ever since to get back $20,000 worth of bondage items - including the whips and chains - seized at the time of her arrest.
The Orange County district attorney's office also investigated an earlier incident in which a man died at the end of a dog leash attached to a wall in Davis' home.
The death was ruled accidental and no charges were filed.
Davis' lawyer, Tom Tanana, said Davis offered a therapeutic service that didn't include sex.
Davis said she doesn't plan to resume using her "toys" anytime soon.
"No, I'm just going to sit and look at them," she said.
"As long as they're sitting around, I'll be comfortable."
