Victim says he hid in woods for 5 days after suffering torture during ‘sex game’

PEVELY, Mo. (First Alert 4/Gray News) - A man said he hid in the woods for five days to escape a man who allegedly tortured him during a “sex game,” according to court records.

Prosecutors in Jefferson County, Missouri, charged Raymond E. Fasnacht III on Monday with first-degree assault, armed criminal action, two counts of possession of a controlled substance and other charges.

According to court records, the victim told investigators Fasnacht injected him with drugs, shot him with an airsoft rifle and cut him with a knife multiple times. Investigators noted the victim had cuts all over his body and was lethargic when they interviewed him.

The victim told investigators the torture was a part of a “weird new ‘sex game’” that Fasnacht had created. After torturing him and injecting him with drugs, the victim told investigators Fasnacht made him run from a hunter’s ground blind in a wooded area near the suspect’s home.

The victim told investigators Fasnacht shot at him with either a BB gun or an airsoft rifle when he ran. Then, the victim said he hid in the woods from Fasnacht for around five days.

Fasnacht is being held at the Jefferson County jail without bond.

A bond review hearing for Fasnacht has been scheduled for Aug. 12.
