A message from Lochgelly
With the heaviest of hearts I am sorry to have to let you know that the man behind the Saarland Spanking Factory and The Magic Spanking Factory, died on 27th April 2025 at 23:45 local time in Germany, peacefully and without pain, surrounded by his closest friends. I have spent most of April in Germany to be with him.
He was a victim of nicotine.
Stephen was one of the most frequent and generous contributors to the former Yahoo and Google m_mspanking groups, and only started charging for his video clips at Clips4Sale after many years of giving them away freely. That C4S group remains active, but I have no idea how much longer that will be the case.
He was larger than life, and lived life to the full, and he was a very popular person here in all aspects of local society, it seems everyone locally knew and loved him, as I have learned from the constant invitations from what are, to me, strangers. It is likely some 400 people will attend the funeral, which says it all.
Stephen was without doubt the best friend I ever had, this past 20 years, and the loss I will feel personally when the arrangements here are completed is hard for me to comprehend.
Stephen would have wanted no sadness however, he would have wanted us to remember the good times, have a good laugh and a good glass of wine to toast him away to the Great Factory in the sky.
Vale Stephen.

I cannot believe this, I am extremely sad to hear that. May he rest in peace.
Another loss this year for our community. ;_;
Sad to hear. All my thoughts are with everyone affected, and with his family and friends. I remember seeing a lot of his posts when I first started joining the groups as a teen. Will also fondly remember those times.
Condolences to Stephen’s friends, family and community. Some of the first spanking videos I encountered on the early net were his, though I had no idea at the time where they came from (having no logo, branding or even text back then). I and many others are the same, and suspect many will be in the future too!
So sorry to hear. Stephen made some great videos. He will be sadly missed by the community.
Shocked to hear this news. R.I.P Stephen.
So, sad to lose yet another great person from our community.
When I opened my e-mail account last morning, I was shocked to learn about Stephen’s decease. Nevertheless, thank you so much for sharing the sad news.
Around 2011 he was so generous to let me visit him at his home in St. Ingbert for the first time, and I came back two or three times until 2015. We smoked countless cigarettes and drank a lot of delicious wine. His delicious boys warmed my heart, especially the beautiful ‘Blondie’, who joined me in the whirlpool in Stephen’s garden, and with whom I even was allowed to do a private spanking video (of course professionally directed by Stephen). Lots of wonderful memories.
Once Stephen came to Hamburg (where I live near by) with his favourite lad ‘Jonathon’. We also met another friend of his and as a quartet went to dine at the noble Hotel Atlantic (typical Stephen!). When we joined the Smokers’ Lounge to have a puff and a drink, there was noone else around, and suddenly Stephen pulled the belt out of his trousers and ordered the young man, whose name I forgot, to lay himself over the back of a leather armchair and started to whip his nice little bottom. Later I took the belt and gave the lad another dose. It was hilarious to the core.
Stephen called me many times (mostly at night) to tell me about his newest adventures, which not always were funny. He seemed to be cheerful most of the time, but deep in my heart I felt, that there were untold stories and a certain melancholy beneath the jolly surface.
He was a Scotsman through and through (I liked his accent very much!), but he also loved Germany and the Saarland from the bottom of his heart.
I’m glad, that I made lots of pictures and even a few little videos while visiting Stephen. Just raking through them with tears in my eyes.
He certainly was one of the most kind and entertaining people I met in my life, and although we almost lost touch in the last few years, I will always be thankful to have known him. Believe me or not, but in the last few days I often thought of him. Eerie.
Spank them beautiful boys up in heaven, Stephen!
so ein wahnsinnsgroßer Verlust, ich habe die ganze zeit darauf gewartet das es endlich neue filme von ihm gibt
er hat mir vor einiger zeit einige unveröffentlichte Filme geschickt, er,war ein echter könner
können gern mal schreiben wenn du möchtest
Very, very sad and a great loss to our community. RIP.
I do have to say, if you’ve been holding out on buying one of his films on C4S, I’d go ahead and purchase it now. After Eastbourne Daddy passed his C4S was taken down and unfortunately a lot of his films are now lost, seemingly for good. It’d be a shame to see that happen to the Magic Spanking Factory too.
My thoughts go out to Stephen’s family and friends, as well as to our community. A group that, sadly, keeps getting smaller and smaller. Still, I/we will always have the memories of the rocking days back in the early 2000’s. What a blast, both in r/t as well as on the net. And yes, without a doubt, Stephen’s videos and stills helped to contribute to the enjoyment found on the net.
And Loch, thanks for being there when he needed you most!

We have lost a good like minded friend who in his own unique style gave us lots of superb spanking magic. He will be sadly missed!

To the family, Friends, and Fans of Stephan, you all have our deepest sympathy and condolences, from ” Discipline Matters”. I have not had the pleasure of working with him, but I have seen his material.
What a beautiful tribute. Thank you for sharing this heartfelt message even during this time of sadness and loss.
What sad news, my condolences to all who knew him.
My heart is heavy knowing Steven is no longer with us.
He was kind enough to film my 13 days of Christmas.
My Buddy, My Buddy,
Your Buddy misses you.
So sorry to hear this sad news he was just brilliant and will be very hard to have someone like him he was a true legend. Stevens films was so good infact they was more than that he was an outstanding guy and watching his films made me feel as though I knew him personally although I didn’t.
Thank you so much Stephen RIP

Very nice person to me. Emailed him back and forth several times. He sent me some of his “private” stock.
Always enjoyed his “work”.
Sad to hear of his passing.
So sorry to hear about Steven passing away. I enjoyed his spanking films and content for over 18 years. God bless him and his friends and family.
