His life went downhill fast

After being dismissed from the military, Rhoades’ life went downhill fast. He got married and had a son. They got divorced, after which he went on to have two more marriages. Around his third marriage, he became a truck driver. It was then when he wasted all his savings on prostitutes and developed a bizarre appetite for S&M sex.

Far worse than kinky sex

According to his admission, it was during his third marriage with Debbie when he forayed into “merely kinky sex.” But as for Debbie, it was far worse than kinky. Her husband’s perversions were sadistic and painful, which made her feel awful and ruined her self-esteem. Later, she was left to wonder how many others suffered at the cruel hands of Robert Ben Rhoades.
