QuoteBrendon Banfield allegedly logged into Fetlife.com — a BDSM and fantasy site — and created a fake profile posing as his wife, Christine, to seek a man to come to their Fairfax County home to carry out a twisted rape fantasy, the au pair detailed.

He allegedly dragged in Joseph Ryan, 39, who believed he was speaking with the wife, but was actually communicating with either Brendan or Magalhães, according to investigators, the outlet said.

Ryan was then allegedly invited to the Banfield home on Feb. 24, 2023, with a knife to play out the staged attack on Christine, as the husband and au pair hid nearby to carry out the murders, prosecutors said.
