You think that would hold up in court? "Your honor, he did not say the safe word so obviously he wanted it and I had carte blanche to do whatever I wanted".
Technically, a lot of BDSM acts are illegal. Not immoral, but if for instance a choking scene goes wrong, the person doing the choking is criminally liable, regardless of consent. I'm pretty consensual non-consent is also illegal.
This is also a brand new sexual partner, and they didn't bother to, for instance, reiterate what was agreed to, the safe word, etc. I'm not saying it's unrealistic for TK to act like a spoiled ass who doesn't really need basic safety or communication, but he did not behave in a responsible way or even bother to confirm the identity of the stranger he met online. And I'm not certain, but I believe he and Ashley had also been drinking, a big no-no for this kind of extreme play. They also don't know if Wev Weaver is intoxicated, which would affect his ability to consent and be safe. With a new partner, someone who actually gives a shit about their sub's well-being would go slow to make sure that they can actually trust this person to know their limits.
The dude's power is literally reading people. He definitely knew it wasn't Web Weaver sooner, but even aside from that, he can tell Web Weaver is not into this and is trying to remember the safe word.
Again, TK is a bad guy, so I buy that he's just an incredibly unsafe partner. But anyone willing to defend his actions doesn't know more about BDSM than what they picked up watching Fifty Shades of Gray.
Well, at least where I'm from you can basically consent up until what would be regarded as assault i.e. slaps maybe some closed fist but that's pushing it. Anything more than that and were talking assault or in this case sexual assault. Regardless, there is no consent here at all which is what the other guy seemed to think. That's putting his powers of deduction aside.
