How often does the Dominican SO of a foreigner basically push a person to do something or arrange for them to be jailed? For the three months I was in prison there were two other people that were able to speak English there that alleged the same kind of thing I was a victim of. I bet there a lot of cases like mine that never make it to the person going to the main jail like I did.

How common is the situation that I found myself in?

I've heard of this happening in Sosua to sex tourists. Where did this happen to you and what were the circumstances?
Let's not open that can of worms. Let's just say that the odds of this happening goes way up when you have lots of money and your GF or wife doesn't.
The recent Frank Reyes case comes to mind. It doesn't just happen to foreigners.
Knew a Canadian in his 20s who was being stupid in Sosua on vacation. He was flashing money around and looking for coke and young chicas. One day he disappeared and I assumed he got shaken down.

if you would simply stop trying to make girlfriends out of some of these women, this stuff would not happen to you. fix a price, take them to a cabana, do your business, and give them the fare for a motoconcho. don't even let them know where you live. don't give them your phone number, but take theirs in case you might want a second round. this is all very simple.
How could anyone possibly know how common this is? Could it be that someone is taking a poll? What would the answer be?
"14 out of 10,000 tourists had a similar problem. This compares with 2 out of 10,000 falling out of a guagua, 34 out of 10000 being served a Bohemia instead of a President Light, and 134 finding that the limpiabotas used brown polish on their black shoes".

ok but to understand properly to the OP, it would be compulsary to know whats going on
Trainwreck has several threads before and after he derailed marrying an extortionista, old story, YAWN!
no. his problem is that he is a lonely man with aspergers who thinks the only way he can find someone to be with him is pay for play skank in DR because he already found a turd, sorry - a diamond like this once. he then married her and one day in a heat of an argument he locked her outside of the house. so she called the cops and had him arrested on domestic violence issues. he then lost most of what he had in DR and spent 3 months behind the bars yet still wants to come back to DR.
he is a fool who does not learn on own mistakes and is bound to repeat them again until all his money is gone and/or someone offs him in this pursuit for happiness. and no, damn aspergers is not an excuse to act like that. he keeps on whining about being sad and lonely but he does not seek professional help because he took antidepressants once and they made him feel bad.
i rest my case. i was sympathetic towards this in the beginning but my patience got worn out at the creases.

I have to disagree.
I remember the announcement of the nupitals complete with pictures of the blushing sow and all the exclaimation from this Guy about how "see? there not all cueros" and how his beloved Miss Piggy was the "light of his life and his bestest friend and blah blah blah" and that is when I was convinced that the whole conversation just needed a little time to develop into the nightmare that he ended up living through. The saddest part of it is that he still BLAMES HER...
How lost in the sauce does one have to be to believe that someone with whom they have absolutely nothing in common would pick them out of millions of their own countrymen with whom they share culture, language, history, art, music, food appreciation, etc. etc? Let's face it, if you were funny looking, lacking a personality and totally devoid of common sense wherever you came from then what could possibly turn any of that around in a foreign land where you have even less to offer from a non-material standpoint. More importantly, how lost and lonely can a Man be to mistake the attention of someone who is clearly on the hustle for some form of "love"? One would have to start out with no clue as to what love is, where it comes from and what it feels like and that is sad.
Sadder, still is the fact that after 3 Months in a Dominican jail for the crime of gross stupidity, it still wasn't enough time to think through the situation and realize his own culpability. You know the old saying "You can't cheat an honest Man"? I believe it. She greased him up, making him believe that she thought he was handsome, charming and attractive, which he KNEW he wasn't. She gave him a new identity and he liked it. What he didn't realize is that every illusion has only a temporary effect, at the end of which all will appear exactly as it is. How can he be angry or disappointed in her? Imagine what she had to go through, being separated from the real love of her life while pumping up this fat foreigner with no appeal, allowing him to defile her simply to afford access to the financial means to just get by, which came so easily to him. How does he get to deserve the financial means which aren't available to so many far more capable and deserving Men?
She came to him as an "Angel". Be careful what you ask for because she served as the Avenging Angel of Death to any Gringo who really believes that his money is powerful enough to buy him respect, love or a soul. So what did he learn? Nothing! He comes back on here professing his preference for Latinas, mumbling something about San Diego and Mexico and I laughed until my sides hurt thinking what this Guy really has a preference for is swimming out of his depth, getting his butt kicked and blaming others for his mistakes and if he thought they were rude to him in the D.R. just wait until they get a load of this Guy in Mexico where Gringo is always on the menu.
... and have a batphone for social communication.
Reserve your main phone for essential use. Security has several layers.
I would say that you have a book in you, easily, brother. I would also like to know more details:
1. how much did it cost you to get out of jail?
2. how many people were in the cell with you, or did you have your own cell?
3. what did you eat while there?
4. did people bring you food?
5. did you have access to money?
Overall, after you got out of jail, what was the total cost on incarceration--including the time spent in prison?
PS. If you want, I could be persuaded to write about it for money. I'll put it into book form for you. But, like everything else, it costs money. PM if you want someone to write about your experiences in jail here and what led up to being unfairly incarcerated. I've been there, I've written about it. The story is here on DR1 if you want to look it up.
