Michigan Man Sentenced In Cranking Fetish Case

Just when you thought you had heard of everything . . .  In Saginaw, Michigan Jordan Haskins, 26, has been sentenced to five years probation and sex offender treatment for “cranking” — a sexual fetish where men engage in rough pedal pumping, a type of foot fetishism characterized by an interest in looking at feet pumping the pedals.

Haskins was charged with eight different felonies related to two separate incidents in 2017.  He has been previously arrested for cranking where a person removes a car’s spark plug wires to make the vehicle run roughly to help reach sexual self-gratification.

Notably, however, he will not have to register as a sex offender since the victim was a car.

He is not the first person to have a vehicular victim in a sex crime, as we have previously discussed.

Haskins’ attorney, James Hession said in an interview, “He’s a good person, he has a lot of aspirations for the future, he’s highly intelligent. However, he’s had some problems with compulsive conduct which gave rise to these charges.”
