A man attacked an independent escort in Cork 2 weeks ago. Luckily the lady he attacked was a very smart woman with training in how to look after herself and she managed to scare the client away before the situation got too nasty. She was only left bruised. The same gentleman has now attempted to make a booking with an independent escort in Limerick though. The independent escort in Limerick recognised him as the dangerous client from Cork before she let him into her apartment though, due to this warning being shared locally more informally before it was published here. The man is about 5'7", 21 years old, slim, and he possibly speaks with a Kerry accent. He was wearing a white tracksuit with gold stripe detail on the occasions the two different ladies saw him. Anyone working locally with concerns can contact me to be put in touch with the two independent escorts making this report.

A man using the phone number 085 7485*** recently sexually assaulted a lady in Cork. He turned up for his appointment and proceeded to sexually assault the lady before leaving as if nothing out of the ordinary had happened. This individual is clearly very dangerous so please watch out for him. He is in his 20s, well-built, spikey blond hair, scar under his left eye and possibly plays rugby.

A client, Tom (not real name), reports the problems with ladies being hassled by a criminal gang in Waterford are still going on. He visited an escort in Waterford yesterday, 20-10-05, and three unsavoury men turned up right in the middle of his appointment. Luckily there was himself and three ladies there when this happened and all four managed to get away from the place safely. If it had been only the ladies or at worst just one lady on her own there, this probably would not have been possible. He and the ladies feel it is a person that owns another agency in Waterford who is doing this. He reports the ladies were very upset. Apparently one got straight on the next bus to Dublin she was so terrified. Tom wants to thank the agency owner for her professionalism in dealing with the situation when he called her and I think she and the girls want to thank Tom for all his help too. Tom also says that he used to use the other agency but they were totally unprofessional, the girls are treated like shit, and the punters not much better. He feels punters in Waterford should be able to make their own choices, about which escorts they want to see and which ones they don’t want to see, and this intimidation of ladies in the Waterford region really isn’t on.

Report received today from two ladies that recently toured with www.escortireland.info advising other ladies not to tour with this operation for their own safety. Apparently the www.escortireland.info operation is run by men and operates all over the Republic of Ireland, but a woman called Karmen / Katyia using the number 087 9567*** has generally been dealing with the ladies before they get to Ireland to date. The report states that the two escorts, who are friends, responded to an advert from this agency and arranged to go over to tour with them on 15/11/05. The girls were met at the airport by a driver and then taken to two separate apartments (one in Naas and the other in Waterford). No information was given to them regards the clients and the service they required, they were just informed a client was at the door whenever one was. Twice a day two heavies would come and collect their money off them, and the agency was taking a higher percentage than was left the girls. On Wednesday evening the police raided one of the flats and the girl there was taken in for questioning. This girl then rang the other girl and the other girl then made moves to leave early and meet her friend at Dublin airport. The heavies got wind of this and arrived and took all her money off her and her mobile phone and warned her not to talk to the police or she would be sorry (at knifepoint). She left as soon as she could and managed to make the 3 hour trip back to Dublin to get a flight home (she had just enough money hidden to do this). When girl number one got to the airport the heavies were waiting for her there, but she was sensible enough to alert the police at the airport and they disappeared. This experience has left these two girls in no doubt that they were very lucky to get home alive and apparently the police stated this to them also. They genuinely fear for the safety of other girls who may tour with this agency and this is their reason for putting this information into the public domain. I don’t publish reports including the URL of the website complained about if it is possible to give the warning without doing so, but I have in this case because it is the only clear way to identify the operation, plus this is a very serious matter and I have no reason to think this report is being made in any way vexatiously. Of course I would advise keeping an open mind as always though. There are agencies in Ireland that treat their ladies well, but, as this report highlights, there are also those that treat their ladies very badly, If you are planning to tour Ireland with an agency, make proper checks on the agency before you do anything else. Good Irish escort agencies that invite touring ladies should have lots of escorts that have toured with them previously willing to recommend them. Update 21/11/05: A friend of the two ladies that recently toured Ireland with www.escortireland.info, Penny, who has been vocal online about the treatment of her two friends at the hands of www.escortireland.info, wrote to me today to say she has just been threatened over the phone by an Irishman who feels no blame rests with www.escortireland.info here as that website is just an advertising forum for escorts. The www.escortireland.info website does have an 'Employment' page inviting escorts to contact them though, plus the 'Advertising' phone number listed on the site is the same one the two touring ladies here had as a contact number for their agent, so I don't think www.escortireland.info can act like it is blameless here. I also note one of the Sunday rags picked up on this story over the weekend. They copied some text Penny had written nearly word for word and then added in an implication that the owners of www.escortireland.info are two persons (that they named but I won't here) that are nothing whatsoever to do with www.escortireland.info and never have been. This story isn't about slandering anyone who owns any escort websites, as I have seen it suggested elsewhere, it is a true story from two girls who did tour Ireland and have this experience. It is a shame lazy tabloid journalists always seem to feel the need to colour true stories that come there way by adding lies to them that they think make them more juicy I presume.

Sexy Sirens of Waterford, a new escort agency which has only been operating in Waterford for about a month now, have contacted me today to report that yesterday afternoon, 3rd August 2005, a man using the name ‘James’ entered their premises under the guise of being a client, evicted the girl that was working, took her money, the keys to the apartment, and her phone and left her on the street. Following this, James used the girl’s phone to ring the agency management and make threats. He said that he worked for another agency in Waterford and that they were getting rid of all other agencies in the area. When asked who he worked for he claimed he worked for a woman, but he then slipped up by repeatedly describing his boss as a ‘he’. James has told Sexy Sirens that if they open up in Waterford again he will petrol bomb them out of it. Sexy Sirens have a pretty good idea of whom they are dealing with here, an individual whose reputation precedes him regards his treatment of girls. They have also heard another agency in Waterford is being continuously threatened by this person. Sexy Sirens are a female operated escort service and they don't intend on being driven out of Ireland by a pimp. I hope everyone will offer them their support in this matter in anyway possible.
