Jail for Lynn bondage survivor

LYNN – Declaring, “I’m a victim too,” the sole survivor of a 2006 sex bondage encounter in a local oceanside home pleaded no contest Monday to the charge of failure to report a death.The plea sent Scott Vincent directly from a Providence courthouse to the state’s adult correction institution where he will serve 30 days. It also closed one chapter in a drama that began nearly two years ago when British citizen Adrian Exley arranged to visit Wolcott Road resident Gary LeBlanc for several days of bondage sex.Exley’s loved ones grew concerned after he missed his flight back to England on April 28, 2006. They contacted first Boston, then Lynn police, who launched a missing persons investigation.Police searched LeBlanc’s home on June 22. He shot himself the following morning in Claremont, N.H. The Rhode Island coroner’s office determined a month later that Exley, 32, asphyxiated in LeBlanc’s basement while wearing a tight-fitting rubber suit equipped with a breathing tube.Aided by Vincent and LeBlanc’s suicide note, Lynn detective Glenn Deveau and Rhode Island state troopers uncovered Exley’s body buried in a shallow grave in a wilderness preserve. The charges against Vincent were related to his role in the burial.Exley’s mother, Maggie Horner, and his siblings filed a wrongful death suit against LeBlanc’s estate. Attorney Randy Chapman is representing her in the suit slated for a yet unspecified trial date in Salem Superior Court.Horner spoke at Vincent’s sentencing Monday.
