Peter Thomas Acworth (born 12 October 1970) is a British web entrepreneur based in San Francisco.
According to the San Francisco Bay Guardian, Acworth's work has been guided by "Kink's principles of intimate, conversational, playful, and mutually enjoyable interactions",[1] and he has expressed the belief that "a product line should come from an individual's actual fantasies.
As a result, he sold Kink.com's then-current office at 942 Mission Street for $6.5 million, more than double what he had paid for it four years earlier.
[10] Acworth was replaced as CEO by long time associate Alison Boden in 2018 to pursue personal projects.
[12] Acworth was arrested in February 2013 for obstruction of justice for allegedly delaying police while they investigated a report of firearms having been shot in the Armory's historic shooting range.
