Police: Woman Hung From Tree, Tortured For Bondage-Porn Video

Man Planned To Sell Video After Declaring Bankruptcy, Investigators Say

A 31-year-old Central Florida man accused of hanging a woman from a tree and videotaping her torture and rape was attempting to create a bondage-porn video for cash after recently declaring bankruptcy, police told Local 6 News.

Deputies said Christopher Joseph Wood brought a woman to a river bank in a wooded area west of Interstate 95 in Brevard County and attacked her.

"Once they were out in the wooded area he proceeded to force sex on her and then he used a knife to kind of keep her under his control," Brevard County sheriff's Officer Marlin Buggs said.

After the attack, the woman was released to her parents and Wood was taken into custody a short time later.

Investigators went into the Brevard County woods and found ropes used to hang the woman still on a tree and a video camera apparently belonging to Woods.

"(Wood) was arrested and confessed to attempting to make bondage porn," Local 6's Samantha Knapp said. "He planned to sell the video he made. Deputies declared this a heinous crime, saying he will never have that chance."

"We found where he had taken items off the Internet and actually scripted out a bondage-type rape scenario," Buggs said.

Documents obtained by Local 6 showed that Wood declared bankruptcy in November and banks foreclosed on his home.

"We charged him with just about every charge we could charge him with: False imprisonment, kidnapping and sexually battery," Buggs said. "The sexually battery was done with a deadly weapon so there will be an enhancement, making it a life felony."
