That's not slavery, because you only declare yourself at my service, but you never sign a contract giving your rights away in exchange for something. That's the part you cannot do, regardless of whether it's voluntary.

IANAL, but I think there are three aspects to this which should be teased-apart:
1. Contract terms that require committing a crime are void and unenforceable.
2. "A contract made me do it" is not a defense to a crime.
3. "The victim gave me permission" is not always a defense to a crime.
