PORT RICHEY - She calls him "master." He calls her "slave" or "Jessica," the name he chose for her.

Alyssandra "Aly" Cardillo said she was looking to serve a man. He was looking for a mistress.

Their paths crossed on a bondage, discipline and sadomasochism Web site. Weeks later, the 19-year-old packed her bags and took a cab from Silver Springs to Drew Kobak's home in Pasco County.

They had sex right away, she said. By Monday, Cardillo had signed "Master Drew's Slavery Contract," pledging housekeeping services, her body and her life to him for five years.

It didn't last five days.

On Tuesday, detectives from the Pasco County Sheriff's Office Vice and Narcotics Unit arrested Kobak, 34, and Cardillo on prostitution-related charges, effectively voiding the contract.

The illegal part wasn't necessarily the slave-master relationship, authorities said. It was the men who answered an online ad offering after-work massages and reportedly ended up sexually satisfied.

Andrew Michael Kobak, of 7601 Jasmine Blvd., faces charges of deriving proceeds from prostitution, maintaining a place for prostitution, cultivating marijuana and marijuana possession after deputies reported finding the plant growing in his backyard. He was released from the Land O'Lakes jail early Wednesday after posting $15,150 bail.

"Please don't call this number again. Thank you," Kobak, whose occupation is listed as "disabled" on the arrest affidavit, told a reporter before hanging up Wednesday.

Cardillo was issued a notice to appear in court on a misdemeanor charge of prostitution.

She doesn't want to return to Silver Springs, and authorities have told her to stay at a domestic violence shelter, she said by cell phone. Cardillo said she's afraid, confused and upset about the prostitution charge but plans to stay in the S&M world.

"I don't understand why that lifestyle is wrong," she said.

Cardillo said she willingly signed a 10-page contract in which she promised to do anything he wanted, sexually and otherwise. She would be permitted to sleep about four hours a night. The other 20 hours would be devoted to cooking, doing laundry and pleasing "Master Drew."

"My control over your life shall be unhampered and without limit," the contract stated. It dictated what she could wear - which often included a dog collar - how she would behave and how she would be punished if she disobeyed or disrespected her master.

Weekly "special training" would include: "Owner's complete control in her use of humiliation, surprise discipline, cage/bondage time, gags, hoods, etc., cleaning, servant feeding, retraining. … Owner will prepare progress reports on the training of the slave as she desires," the contract said.

A copy was found in Kobak's house among S&M items such as chains and whips, sheriff's office spokesman Kevin Doll said. Kobak, however, didn't sign the contract.

Cardillo signed, stating she fully understood it and promised to fulfill her obligations.

She said a relative began sexually abusing her when she was 15, which led to bipolar disorder - for which she's on medication - and her involvement in S&M.

"I had to get away," Cardillo said, "and through pain, that's how I … escape."

Authorities spotted Kobak's ad for "Jessica's" services on a Web site and sent a confidential informant to Kobak's home to see what was happening inside, Doll said.

Cardillo's arrest affidavit accuses her of sexually massaging a man in exchange for $60.

"I've had 20 men since Friday," said Cardillo, adding she didn't know she'd be pimped out but went along with it.

"I did it because that's what he wanted. He said it would make him happy," she said. "I trusted him."

PORT RICHEY -- She is 19 years old, bipolar and schizophrenic, and on her MySpace page she says she will do whatever it takes to be your kitten.

She left home in Marion County last Friday night, and on Monday, local authorities were calling her missing and endangered.

By then she'd signed on as a sex slave.

It was all spelled out in a 10-page document, later obtained by investigators. It was called "Master Drew's Slavery Contract."

Her body would be his property. He could put her in collar and wrist restraints, brand or scar her at will. Clothing would be generally prohibited.

She would sleep four or five hours a night, rising to cook and clean and do the laundry. She would keep Friday nights free for leash training and foot worship. If she ever disobeyed, punishment would escalate from slapping and hair-pulling to leg chains and caning.

"He may hurt her without reason to please Himself," the contract read. "The slave enjoys the right to cry, scream or beg, but accepts the fact that if her Master tires of her noise, He may gag her or take other actions to silence her."

The contract was supposed to last five years. But deputies, acting on a tip, intervened on Tuesday and arrested the man known as "Master Drew."

It was not the first time he'd been accused of sexually enslaving a young woman whose mental health was in question.

Andrew Michael Kobak moved into the house at 7601 Jasmine Blvd. in Port Richey about a year ago, his neighbors said, and he wasted little time in turning it into a porn factory.

His business card advertised Seductive Modeling, which promised potential models up to $500 an hour to star in adult videos.

Alyssandra Cardillo, the 19-year-old bipolar woman from Silver Springs, met Kobak over the Internet, according to her father, Tony Cardillo. Last Friday, she took off in a taxi with a week's worth of medication. She turned up at Kobak's house.

For the next four days, according to Pasco County Sheriff's Office reports, she was his slave. And he didn't keep her to himself, she told authorities: For a fee of $60 each, she performed sex acts on eight other men, police said.

On Tuesday, tipped off by a confidential informant, deputies went to the house and arrested Kobak, who is 34. They charged him with deriving the proceeds of prostitution, maintaining a place for prostitution, and possession and cultivation of marijuana.

Cardillo was charged with prostitution, a misdemeanor, though she was not arrested.

"Possibly," said sheriff's spokesman Kevin Doll, "she could be a victim in this."

Along with whips and sex toys, deputies recovered the contract, signed by her, but not by him.

On the second page, there's a clause, apparently handwritten by Cardillo, that prohibits the "Master" from involving her in any acts involving human waste, animals or children.

"Master" will not remove me from my medicine, she wrote.

Kobak had been arrested at least three times before, although state records indicate that most or all of the charges were dismissed. In 2003, he was accused in a similar case.

At that time, according to a previous St. Petersburg Times story, police in Largo said he had met a 19-year-old mentally disabled woman from Illinois in an online chat room, bought her a bus ticket for Florida and took her in as his sex slave.

Pretending to be a police officer, he kept her in his house for 60 hours, abusing her with a riding crop, threatening to inject her with a drug if she tried to run, the police said then. He was arrested and charged with sexual battery, lewd or lascivious acts on a disabled person and aggravated battery. The woman was hospitalized for internal injuries.

The case was later dismissed, and records of it have vanished from public view. On Wednesday, officials in the Pinellas Clerk of Court's Office and the Pinellas-Pasco State Attorney's Office said they knew nothing about it.

Florida law provides for the purging of records if the arrest was deemed unwarranted.

On Wednesday night, Tony Cardillo was still looking for his daughter.

"I'm kind of at a loss," he said, adding that he had her committed about four years ago after she cut her wrists.

Doll, the sheriff's spokesman, said she was in a safe place, under the care of a victim advocate. He wouldn't say where.

Kobak posted $15,150 bail and was released from the Land O'Lakes jail early Wednesday morning. Just before noon, when a reporter visited the house, Kobak answered the door.

"Please," he said. "Please go."
