RACINE, Wisconsin (AP) -- A former municipal judge faces 18 felony charges after two women accused him of making them sign a contract that let them live on his property if they gave him control of their prescription medications, which he then doled out in exchange for sex acts.

Glenn A. Staege, 67, was charged Wednesday in Racine County Circuit Court with two counts of causing a person to practice prostitution and 16 counts of possession of prescription drug with intent to deliver, all felony charges.

The women alleged the former judge forced them to sign a contract before they could live at his property that stated, in part: "The more cooperative you are with me to help me meet my needs, the more cooperative I will be to meet your needs. I can be your best friend or your worst enemy."

One of the women said she and her boyfriend were homeless when Staege offered to let them live in a van on his property, according to court documents. She contends Staege forced her to engage in various forms of sexual activity 18 times in order to get her prescription medications, and that he videotaped the liaisons.

The other woman said in court documents that she gave her Social Security checks to Staege, who bought her clothes and got her things she needed. She said she is addicted to the painkiller Percocet and that Staege gave her up to 12 pills a day.

That woman said she felt obligated to have sex with him for pills, but that he never came out and said it. She said he would tell her "you cooperate with me, I'll cooperate with you."

Staege remained at the Racine County Jail on Thursday. His attorney, Rod Koenen, did not return a call Thursday from The Associated Press seeking comment.

If convicted on all counts, Staege could face up to 108 years in prison and up to $180,000 in fines.

Staege served as a municipal court judge in the town of Raymond, Wisconsin, for four years in the 1980s and '90s, handling minor issues like traffic and zoning violations. He worked previously as a teacher.

How can someone force you to sign a contract so you can live on their property?

I don't think either label is particularly apt.  The term that most readily springs to mind for me is sociopath.   The situation for the second woman mentioned is disturbing enough, but she certainly allowed her addiction to make her complicent in the situation whereas there was no element of addiction mentioned for the first woman so its entirely possible her need for that medication was severe.   Regardless, this a pathetic and vile little man who, unable to illicit obedience --and proabably sexual contact for that matter --through the force of his own character and being no longer in possesion of the position that once gave him so much authroity and control over people's lives, resorted to the most hamfisted and dispicable means of exploiting the unfortunate.  It's frightening to think of how many people's fates may have been in this man's hands.  Or are in similar hands right now; unfortunately, this kind of character trait is all too common in those who decide their role is to administer the rule of law.   Let's hope this guy gets a kindred spirit as a judge for his own trial...and a likeminded cellmate.

Both.
Despite all the protestations about this not being a D/s relationship, it is. It isn't a consentual one, but remember that consent is in fact not a defining aspect of D/s. It may well be a defining aspect of the BDSM lifestyle, but it isn't of the basic drives and dynamic. The judge was clearly a dominant (he needed to control these women, to the degree of actually purchasing one's clothes, and he was scary. As well he was a slimey guy on a power trip. He was also abusing a position of authority...so everybody is at least a little bit right.
