Mentally Ill Woman is Being Used As a Slave
My question involves criminal law for the state of: Texas
I live in a different state and during a recent visit to m My X-wife, she informed me that she got involved with a man who is using her as a Slave, he uses her as his punching and whipping bag and loans her out to his other S/M buddies to use her anyway they please. She said she has been tied before for 8-12 hours while men she does not even know or see their faces sodomize her while she is tied up.
She said it is consensual but she had tears in her eyes. She has been off her medications for almost 2 years. We have been divorced for 16 months.
She has severe bipolar condition to the point of schizophrenia. I asked her if she wanted to stop and she said she enjoys some aspects of it but she cannot just walk away now as she feared what those men would do to her. She refused to tell me who the man is or to go to the Police and inform them.
I am very angry over this, she is mentally ill and she is being used as a sex toy, she told me one time she was abused so bad she could not walk for 4 days and had to stay in and not seen anyone for over a week from the bruising.
What legal actions can I take to stop this? Can the I get the Police involved if I can figure out who the guy is and get him exposed?

You said your ex wife is mentally ill. How do you know that any of this is actually happening?

I don't know 100% but the detail in everything she told me leads me to believe it was true. I was married to this woman for 20 years. During our marriage she relied on me for every single decision in her life, she was being treated by a Psychiatrist and a Therapist in our home State for 2 years before she relocated to Texas.
My gut tells me it is true and she wants me to step in and stop it but How could I? She won't even tell me where or who or any other information. I had to go home to my kids, I could go back and investigate then go into the situation and beat the guy within inches of his life but won't I end up in prison then? Can I go to the authorities where she lives or are they going to laugh at me?
Re: Ex-Wife is Mentally Ill and Being Used As a Slave
You can, but if you don't know the name of the man involved or where he lives, what exactly do you expect them to do?
Re: Ex-Wife is Mentally Ill and Being Used As a Slave
One way or another she must be saved from this abuse and I would like for her to be put in psychiatric care and be treated. I have a feeling this scumbag is using her to make money and he must be stopped. Will the Police help me if I find out who the guy is and where this is taking place at? If she is not lying, are laws being broken?
Re: Ex-Wife is Mentally Ill and Being Used As a Slave
You might have better luck getting her committed to a psychiatric hospital than you will asking the police to find a nameless man who may or may not exist and who may or may not be misusing her.
Even assuming that every word is actually true and not just true in her mind, she'd be safe there.

Let's get a few things straightened out.
1. She is not legally incompetent, correct?
2. If #1 is true, then you're basically stuck - you can't force her to get help and you can't force her to stand up for herself.
What is perhaps the critical point though is that you said she has two specific mental issues which can cause the patient to have difficulty discerning truth from fantasy.
You certainly can't force her to seek psychiatric help - or indeed, any sort of help. There is literally only one option for you and that's to contact law enforcement.

How do I go about committing her to a psychiatric hospital, she is refusing treatment, she admits she is ill but she does not want to be treated. She said the guy playing her master is a "Pro" and told her this was the best treatment for her condition.

If she's refusing treatment then you can't.
Re: Ex-Wife is Mentally Ill and Being Used As a Slave
About all you can do is notify the police and they can look into it. They can talk to her and assess her situation as best they can and maybe refer her to other authorities to assess her mental state. If she informs them of a crime occurring to or about her, they can act on that as appropriate. If not, then there's nothing they can do other than making referrals to other agencies.
