A sex abuse trial is giving jurors lessons on the sadomasochism underground's inner workings, the lifestyle of a man dubbed an "S&M Svengali" by the tabloids, and the federal crackdown on obscenity. Glenn Marcus recorded his slaves' experiences with thousands of photos posted online -- a practice that prompted the government to bring an obscenity charge along with sex trafficking and a forced labor count. Prosecutors portray Marcus as a sadist who violated the standards of society and the S&M community.

The graphic color photo, flashed on a large video screen next to the jury, tested the decorum of a U.S. courtroom.
It showed a nude woman named Rona tied to a tree trunk in the wilderness. From the witness stand, Rona answered questions about the bondage scene in graphic detail, casually complaining that her body was bitten by mosquitoes.
