Lawton bondage author indicted on kidnapping, sex trafficking charges

According to the indictment, 59-year-old Charles Michael Segaloff went to Greenwich, New York, between Dec. 7 and Dec. 15, 2015 to pick up a 17-year-old girl for sex. Authorities say Segaloff—who also goes by the names of Michael Makai, Mike Sage, Daddy, Papa and Master—wanted to girl to form a polyamorous family, "the House Makai."

He was indicted and charged with traveling with intent to engage in illicit sexual conduct with a juvenile, kidnapping, sex trafficking and enticement of a juvenile.

Segaloff was previously charged by complaint in a federal court in Oklahoma City and is currently being held at the Logan County Jail.
