i know of ladies that have been blackmailed and grassed up for being an escort to friends and family etc and exposed for leaving this agency or going to another or going independent. It has been going on for several years surprised they have not been investigated by police and cloaed down as of yet.
The Newcastle agency was a partnership with another person and they fell out with him also and he carried on up there and has built up a reputation for blackmail, threats and intimidation.
I know this for a fact as i have known a couple of the victims so i can add that anyone thinking of joining them should think twice.
