AFFIDAVIT OF JAMES KOMMIKER
I, James Kommiker, state that the following is true to the best of my belief and knowledge:
1. I was the complainant in Mr. Baker’s 1991 criminal trial involving charges of rape. At the time, I worked for Mr. Baker but we were also involved in a sexual relationship. Mr. Baker also practiced sado-masochistic activities, commonly referred to as “S & M”. At the time, I wanted nothing to do with that lifestyle; indeed, I feared it. Nonetheless, I still worked with him voluntarily and engaged in consensual sexual relations with him.
2. At one point, Mr. Baker struck me during an altercation. I went to the police and reported the incident. At this time, the police indicated to me that they suspected Mr. Baker had committed a murder. Based on this information, I began to fear for my own safety.
3. I agreed to testify against Mr. Baker at his criminal trial because I feared for my own personal safety based on what the police told me and based on my lack of understanding as to the voluntary nature of S & M.
4. Looking back, I know that Mr. Baker did not forcibly rape me. My testimony to the contrary was the product of several factors. I felt uncomfortable about Mr. Baker’s S & M lifestyle; he was also a strict employer, which was intimidating; and I believed the police when they said that Mr. Baker wanted to kill me.
5. After years of reflection and learning about the truth, I testified at Mr. Baker’s sexually dangerous person trial in March of 2003 that I did not feel Mr. Baker was a sexually dangerous person and that I thought he should be released.
Signed under the pains and penalties of perjury this 18th day August, 2004
