Man Tries Sex Video To Get Order Lifted

A man in Fargo, North Dakota 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.

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, police said.

"He obviously didn't watch it before he gave it to us", Lt. Tod Dahle said. Fraase was instead charged with sexually assaulting the woman in his apartment.

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. I didn't know what to do".

Assistant Cass County State's Attorney Leah Viste watched the video and charged Fraase with three felonies including gross sexual imposition, felonious restraint and violation of a protection order.

The video included audio of the woman's struggle and made 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".
