Writer Of Moonstruck Sued For Violent S&M Relationship

The NY Post has quite the story about Moonstruck writer John Patrick Shanley, 61, who won an Academy Award for his writing on Moonstruck and Amanda Jencsik, who is 26 and suing the writer for $5M after he came within inches of ending her life. The thing is this relationship lasted over four months and they had violent sex every single time yet she always came back for more violent sex. I understand her suing the guy if this was a one time thing and she never came back, but do you get to sue someone for damages if you are willingly going to get these damages done to you. You need to read the whole Post article, but basically, the couple met online. They went out a few months later and had sex. They then had a date, but Shanley showed up late and drunk and instead of going out she says that he forcibly sodomized her. So, if she stops right there, calls the police for rape and sues the guy, then I understand. She did not though. Amanda, who is an actress, went out with him again and had violent sex, although this time apparently it was not forced, but Shanley did choke her. In her suit, Amanda says that she has permanent damage to her bowel as a result of the sex.
