Cop dominatrix: ‘ I’d make a good officer’
She’s stomped on her share of sex slaves — but the New Jersey sheriff ’s officer who once worked as a dominatrix sobbed like a submissive at the thought of losing her new gig in law enforcement.
In an exclusive interview with The Post, Kristen Hyman admitted she starred in dozens of kinky bondage films during her four-year career in the fetish trade, but insisted she never performed sex acts or doffed her costumes.
“I’m not embarrassed because I can own up to things I’ve done in the past,” declared Hyman, 30, whose only desire now is to collar perps instead of pervs.
The former whip-mistress will fight to save her Hudson County sheriff officer’s job at an administrative hearing Thursday. “I’m mortified. I’m scared,” Hyman admitted.
She was suspended without pay on May 26, six days before her training-academy graduation, when her bosses learned of the steamy videos she made between 2008 and 2012.
The Sheriff ’s Office said she was an embarrassment to the force, lied on job applications about her previous career and failed to disclose “that she . . . sometimes saw clients privately for money.”
A judge quickly reinstated her, allowing her to graduate from the academy on June 8.
“I don’t know what it has to do with me doing the job,” she wondered during the 90-minute sitdown with The Post at her lawyer’s Jersey City office.
As her latex-clad alter-ego, “Domina Nyx Blake,” Hyman would humiliate and subjugate naked men — not to satisfy a personal fetish, but to pay the bills.
“I was struggling financially as an actress [and model],” she toldold The Post. “I had been doing regular catalogs for clothing, small stuff.”
Someone told her making the kinky videos was a “good wage” and “you didn’t have to compromise in any sort of way . . . It was a safe thing and a kind of way to explore acting,” she said. “It was a totally ridiculous world.”
She was billed as “a true sexual sadist who hurts people not because she has to, but because it truly brings her pleasure.”
But the rookie cop insisted it “was exactly like WWE wrestling. I had a constructed narrative. A constructed character. Anything you read involving ‘ Domina Nyx Blake, the Greek Goddess of the Night,’ is creative writing.”
In one video, called “Domina NYX Beatdown,” the ravenhaired Hyman, dressed in a black bra and leggings and puffing a cigarette, slaps, punches and curses out a bearded, balding man. “It sucks to be him,” the 5-foot-6, 150-pound seductress snarls, placing her chubby submissive in a headlock. At one point in the 21-minute clip, the choking man tries to “tap out” like a vanquished wrestler. “I don’t know what that means. Are you doing morse code?” she taunts.
Dismissing the role play as “stupid stuff I did as a kid,” Hyman says “the majority of the videos are ridiculously funny . . . It’s super-cheesy stuff. Everything I’m doing is wink-wink.
“I think it’s pretty clear that you can see that nobody is injured. A number of videos involve the same people over and over again. There would be a costume change, and then we’d do another one.”
She’d wield whips, chains and even boxing gloves to mete out punishment. Hyman would not say how many S&M flicks she made or what she was paid. She said the low-budget flicks were filmed in Manhattan and Florida, and she’d often have to drive to the Sunshine State.
She had a husband during that period, but her 2008 marriage was annulled in 2013. She would not discuss her ex-husband other than to say, “We just didn’t mesh.” She mentioned an abusive ex-boyfriend but would not elaborate. Hyman’s lawyer believes an ex-boyfriend may have tipped off a friend at the Sheriff’s Office about her past.
Her parents, Raymond and Laura, knew about her secret life before the sordid story broke and “support me,” she said, but added they are upset by the publicity.
The lurid comments Hyman has seen online after her story went viral have left her shaken.
“I’m trying right now not to look at the Internet. It’s pretty painful for me,” she told The Post. “II’mm afraafraid for my safety right nonow.”
Hyman began to weep when shown phphotos now popping up on mainstreamainstream media.
“I don’t want to be judged on what I did in the past and not who I am now,” she said.
Who she is now is, she says, is a dedicated public servant. She worked for several years as a 911system operator before being trained as an EMT.
But the Bayonne, NJ, native said she has dreamed of being a police officer “forever.”
Her lawyer, James Lisa, says she deserves to keep her hardearned job. “I just want the world to see this young lady as she is,” he said. “She’s not a carnival sideshow. She’s a woman committed to law enforcement. ”
“The biggest question is, ‘Did she lie in her application?’ She did not,” he said. “She said she was a model, photographer and an actress.”
