University of Northern Virginia chancellor David Lee, 64, quits over sex-dungeon photos

The chancellor of the University of Northe Virginia exposed as a sadomasochistic sex-dungeon master following a school raid by federal immigration agents last month has submitted his resignation.

David Lee, 64, was revealed as a man so into domination and sadomasochism that he and his girlfriend tued their basement into a suburban sex dungeon.

He claimed in his letter of resignation that 'Discussions of my personal life have become a distraction for students and friends of UNVA at a time when we need to focus on more significant issues.'

According to his letter, Lee’s resignation was effective on Friday.

On July 28, the for-profit school was raided by immigration authorities seizing computers and documents and leaving a population of approximately 2,000 mostly Indian students in limbo.

The Smoking Gun found the personal ad after the raid - complete with photos of his dungeon and Lee performing sadomasochistic acts - on a website called collarme.com, which describes itself as the 'largest BDSM Community on the Planet'.

The ad sought 'attractive submissive women' who 'wish to be part of our poly family'.

'Ideally you will consider yourself a slave or a sub with slave tendencies,' it added, continuing: 'We enjoy almost all kinks, and are expert in most of them. But for us it is more the submission and commitment that matter.

'We provide a safe, sane home with a good balance of love and discipline. We are very serious about finding a permanent addition to our poly family.'

They use the screen name 'polyfamilyinva2'.

Their profile also included photos of the couple in a variety of poses.

In two, Lee can allegedly be seen holding a flame to the body of a naked female who is wearing a bondage mask.

In another he is seen topless flexing his muscles, noting in his profile that they are in 'excellent health and in excellent shape'.

More photos show Lee's blonde girlfriend attached to a metal spider's web, while another shows her straddling another, younger woman who is gagged and appears to be bound by an extension cord.

In addition to pictures showing their sex dungeon - complete with wooden rack - are photos of the couple at home wearing Santa Claus hats.

A letter was then posted by Lee, who is UNVA's chancellor and chair of its board of trustees, on the university's website following the raid, telling students to stay calm and that classes were taking place as usual.

It said: 'UNVA would like to remind everyone that rumours have been circulating since last year, but they are just rumours.

'We at UNVA were very surprised by the events that occurred. there are many details of the investigation that are still unclear.'

According to the Smoking Gun, the ICE probe is examining whether UNVA, which was founded in 1998, has exploited visa loopholes to enrol foreign students.

Investigators are seeking to determine whether some students attended classes or just used enrolment in UNVA as a method of gaining entry to the United States.

Lee has not issued comment about his search for a female slave or the to July search conducted at the university’s Annandale, Virginia, offices by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents.
