: MediaTakeOut.com just got a very DISTURBING piece of news. A Seattle Washington man (pictured above) named Graydon Smith was under ARREST for abusing his pregnant girlfriend. But he has an INTERESTING DEFENSE to the claim of domestic violence - his girlfriend SIGNED A CONTRACT, allowing him to BEAT HER!!!
Here's what we know so far. Graydon had a history of ABUSING his 19 year old pregnant girlfriend. Police were called a NUMBER of times to 31-year-old Graydon's parents home (where Graydon lived).
But it wasn't until Graydon attacked his girlfriend in FRONT OF HER DAD that the law got involved. The father attempted to stop Graydon from choking the pregnant teen. Graydon attacked her dad, punching him in the face.
The father then called police who found the girlfriend bleeding from the face with a contusion on the back of her head. Graydon was arrested and charged with second-degree assault, two counts of fourth-degree assault and two counts of felony harassment.
But here's where the story gets INTERESTING. Graydon claims that his girlfriend ALLOWED him to bet her. In fact he has a SIGNED CONTRACT by her. In the contract the woman agrees to allow Graydon to punch her "in perpetuity" with the only restriction that he is not allowed to strike her "in the belly, during pregnancy." The contract is signed by both Graydon and the girlfriend and notarized by a notary public.
What makes this interesting is that UNDER THE LAW, a person can not be charged with ASSAULT if the assaulting party CONSENTS to being hit (think about how a boxer can't be arrested for KO'ing his opponent).
Sounds like he may get off on this one. They need to make an episode of Law & Order out of this one . . .
Dear Mike Harris, I generally do NOT respond to anything negative, since that only causes more negativity, but I will step out of the box and address you. I am not sure what your intentions are with the numerous comments that you continute to make but one thing is certain. You have issues that need serious attention. I'm not certain if you are making comments to get attention or just being yourself either way you must learn that the words and the thoughts that you have will only make YOUR life miserable. Your words have no effect on anyone other than you. What u put out U get back!
Normally I don't comment but MIKE HARRIS would make Mother Theresa curse! MIKE HARRIS, you are a very childish, ignorant individual. Definitely not a "man"! When you wake up in the morning and look in the mirror, who in the hell do you see? Snow white? You are much darker than myself, and I'm African American. Your lips are always huge and shiny! And furthermore the only "DOME" going on is what you're performing on a group of men!!! Hopefully, you're not an example of our future generation!
Actually he's not mto. The prosecuters r gonna say the gf signed the contract under degress. And another thing, the prosecuter is also gonna say that he's also abusing another person, who cannot sign anything legally until they r 18 yrs old. Which is the baby. She can sign away all she wants. And here's the kicker. Since she signed that he can hit just her and not the stomach where the baby is because she is protecting the baby, the state can say by law u cannot hit a pregnant woman and there r no exceptions because the mother and the baby r one.
So if he hits her so hard that it makes her fall. The childs life is now endanger. So he is gonna go to jail. Trust me. If I was this ADA I would get him any way i can, just to let the guys in jail beat the *** out of him. I'll send his *** to the most dangerous prison. Even if it's for 30 days. And I'll tell the prisoners if u just beat the *** everyday, and rape him, I'll reduce ur sentence. But as long as they don't kill him. And plus I would get the guards to watch over him so he can't kill himself.
Here's the kicker though...her father did not have a contract with this hill billy deliverance red neck so he can file charges.
There are some things black women do, but this is all white people here. Always trying to legally find a way to break the law. I bet he has a tiny ***. And she is stupid for allowing that foolishness.
@imsickoftvnradio Sweetheart, please do not provide misinformation to these young folk.
That contract is NOT legal....Any contract that tries to over-ride the law will not stand up in court. In this case, he tried to deprive her of her basic human right....Safety from Violence, which is unlawful.
Therefore that contract is worthless. Furthermore, if she signed it under threat of violence, that would also make the contract invalid, irrespective of the content of the contract.
I don't know why Fred (a fcuking lawyer!) would state others on his blog....oh yeah, MTO is all about the money. SMDH!
how could the law accept that? more than likely, he forced her to sign the contract, i mean HELLO!? she's in an abusive relationship, he controls her and makes her do things not within her character...ughhh, but i guess police don't think about that, only saving themselves from extra paperwork...smdh
@everyone commenting to mike...If you people would stop commenting to mike harris he would go away. Seriously, why even waste your time? its like arguing with a 2 yr old or yelling at a deaf person. He wants you to comment and everyday you people fall for it. @topic...so he beats up on the woman carrying his child but makes out with a dog. Damnit. Just lock his *** up now. And take that baby from her because obviously she aint all there either.
I wonder if the lawyer could pursue the interest of the child ... I mean, he could not only harm the baby, he could kill it. What if he slaps her by stairs, she loses her balance and falls down the stairs? My thought is if they can charge one Scott Peterson w/special *** in the death of Connor, why not this loser? She needs counseling ... from someone who has her best interests at heart because she is lost. So sad.
You can't contract to do something that is illegal. It's like A and B contracting for A to sell B heroine for $100. If A doesn't sell B the heroine, B can't take A to court and sue him for breach of contract because heroine is illegal. No court would say "well heroine is illegal but, you made a contract so A you have to sell it to B or pay him damages.
MTO, do you have a legal department?? Check with them before you post "sounds like he may get off with this one." So stupid. Like the law is going to say well honey you contracted to let him beat you so you have to let him beat you.
Cheez - we got to install some self-esteem into our lil girls. Some of them don't feel they are worth anything and it's sad. And the ones who have confidence and pride in themselves - men like SLIM try to tear them down for wanting some good in their life. Like I always say - "EDUCATE your OWN children" before someone else does and with the wrong information.
@Texasgirl. I agree with you. All of a sudden there are several people on here disrespecting black women and black people EVERYDAY, now. If they don't like or respect black people - why are they on the urban gossip news website. It doesn't matter if it is owned by white people (I'm not the one racist). But what matters - if you don't like black people or their news - why are you in here? Your miserable life doesn't allow you to persue happy things - just things that make YOU miserable. That's a sad life - these fools got. But if people would ignore them - they would quickly find some other website posters to annoy. I like to say - they would fade to BLACK. LOL
Now this don't make no sense. Signin' contracts to beat someone?! Only a true psycho would think this up. And I don't believe she signed that shid on her own freewill. It's so obvious she was held against her will so he could protect himself. The court system may be corrupted but I don't think they would be this *** stupid. The man who created the contract think so or may be he's stupid himself.
@Texas Girl, you know Fred is just trying to get as many clicks as possible on this dumb *** story. Pretending that the contract's legal and ***.
@Fred I can see why you took your name plaque off the door of the Law Firm at which you worked. I bet you was one triffling ***, gossip at the water cooler ***, in that office too.
@misterburns Australia????? You must have the wrong story, this happened in Seattle, WA.
well he def busted her up in that head so much she actually thinks she can't miscarry from sustained head injuries and stress. She is obviously not very smart either because if he is beating ur azz why wouldnt he beat ur kids azz. Some people dont think about their futures. She needs a restraining order.
Smith admitted to police that he had made his girlfriend, who has not been named, sign the contract giving him free rein to carry out domestic abuse. Seattle police detective Elizabeth Ellis said: 'Graydon made her sign a statement giving him permission to physically abuse her anywhere on her body except on her pregnant belly.' When police arrested Smith they found his girlfriend with bruises and cuts to her face. She confirmed her boyfriend was responsible for the assault. Unemployed Smith has been charged with assault and harassment. He is being held on £75,000 bond.

I just feel sorry for that poor child to be brought in this world growing and seeing his/her mother getting beat on by the father. And the mother saying oh baby it's ok I signed a contract. That poor baby has no chance. Mto will be reporting later REMEMBER THAT STORY WE TOLD YOU ABOUT THE LADY THAT SIGN THE cONTRACT TO GET BEAT WELL SHE FINALLY GOT WHAT SHE ASKED FOR.
I cannot tolerate these stupid *** that allow their dumb *** bf, husbands or whatever to beat them time and time again. They don't realize the hell they're putting their children thru. There should be a law to protect children from being raised in abusive homes (even though they, themselves are not being abuse). Y? The mental anguish and harm these kids go thru can only be detrimental to their emotional/mental health. Damage is being done to these kids and at the end of the day both the agressor and enabler are at fault!
This woman needs some help. And he DEFINITELY needs help. Punk ***. I hate when people say stupid sh!t like "she wants to hit" but in this case, you can't feel too sorry for her. I mean...she signed a contract. Least they ain't black though. That's the most u can hope for with dumb sh!t like this lol.
