Hi,
This article is unfortunately in german, but google translate, or any other internet translation tool should be sufficient

The awful scenario happened in 2009 and the court proceedings started february this year and the last hearing was just a few weeks ago. My girlfriend was lucky to survive the incident, she was in a coma for a while.
She got involved privately with a client, when she realized she did not want to date him anymore, he lured her into her appartement, and tortured her for 21 hours with all cruelties possible (drowing her in the bathtub, beating her up, threatening to cut her face and her bodyparts away from her when she makes a peep, he repeatedly told her no one will miss her when she is dead).
finally she tried to escape thru the window fearing for her life, when she did so, she realized how high it was and held on to the window, that was when this guy slapped her on the hand so she finally fell down a three store floor.
Lucky her fell first on a small roof and then hit the grass, otherwise there would have been no chance whatsoever to survive.
Her mother and me were accompagnying her to court and the strange thing was that the investigation method did not work at first, so they had to postphone the hearing (the camera and speakers did not work - she was in a separate room to not face her torturer). Another incident on the side was that the female "secretary" of the defense-attorney for the accused torturer began to laugh because the attorney wanted to know what "deep throat" is (she had to describe all acts of the rape) and the judge told her , if she thinks this is funny she has to immidiately leave the court.
Its a surprise that a woman can laugh about such sexual acts put on another woman. No man found that to be funny?
Detail on the side: The guy has already stabbed to death his former lover who also wanted to leave him. He got sentenced to 9 years in prison, went free after 6 years and then got to know my friend (her name is changed when she agreed to do the interview).
Great justice system, Germany!
Another detail: if she had not survived that case would have been treated as a random suicide. No one - even after repeatedly asked by the mother and all friends - would have bothered to investigate that case.
But thank god escorts also have friends and a very very very good attorney who is friends with her and me took over the case and investigated it - til this breakthru happened.
The decision is not due yet, but chances are he will never be set free at all anymore.
I wanted to post this as a token to see that justice finally can happen and that escorts are treated with respect. The newspapers mentioned her to be a luxury callgirl from switzerland and him being a client, but in no way ever was it the typical (yes sure that happens w ith whores treatment the medias usually give) . A very respectful article seeking justice.
Also the husband of the lover he killed before was actively seeking the court and wants justice to be done. Everyone is horrified and the fact she worked as an escort does not matter to anyone. The court people were beyond friendly and helpful even though they knew we all were escorts and Leipzig is a small conservative town.
