An escort working in the IFSC in Dublin was raped last month, when she opened the door of her apartment to a potential client, but was rushed by the two men. The terrified woman was then attacked by both men and left badly beaten before they robbed her and left. This assault was extremely brutal and she was lucky to have survived. She had been working with a friend in the apartment for a number of months and had built up a regular clientele. It has been suggested that one or both of the men - who appeared to know how to gain access to the apartment - may have been former clients of the lady or her friend. One of the attackers was Irish, whilst the other was a foreign national. This information has been made public today by the Independent newspaper.
