I know this lady, and the story is horrific, and a warning to all of us, that even with regulars we must be ever diligent. And some ladies from this board do tour Ireland.

This is the story in the ladies own words:

"I was the one that was attacked by a guy thursday to friday midnight in my apartment. I met this guy before this year and he was very fine client. Everything went ok at that time. After that he contact me few times because he want to see me again, but we never managed to make an appointment until now. He was always very nice on the phone. So when he contact me thursday night very late, he never sounds agressive or on drugs or anything and was nice again. First I didn't want to see him because it was late already, but he beg me so to meet him that I thought ok let me make an exception, I saw him before and he was ok so.
He came and I let him in, he didn't say any word and was just smilling.
While I was walking to the bedroom in the hallway he bang a motorbike helmet on my head from behind. I turn and he start bashing my head and face with the helmet. I scream my lungs out for help. I don't remember but poilice told me later that I managed to get to the door and was half in half out when a neigbour save my life by pulling me out the apartment. If the neigbour didn't do so I probably be dead by now. The guy then jumps from the bedroom window and runs away. I dont remember anything else until I wake up in the morning in the hospital.
As you see by those pics I sent, he deform my face completely and smash my tooth out.
Right now I don't know how and when I will recover, but I'm mentally very strong and I want to do everything in my power to get better again.
Guys you have to understand why girls ask for references and lots of questions. It's not that we want to annoyed you, but as you see we can never guarantee to be safe, even with clients we met before already. I work in other countries before like USA and asking for references is the norm. Ireland is dangerous and there are a lots of crazy and frustrated people, especially now with the recession out there. We cannot trust anybody, not even regulars anymore.
So please be cooperative and provide the info that the girls ask for. It's not worth the risk to see anybody without references. I learn it the hard way and I should be dead by now if I wasn't so lucky. If I ever succeed to recover from this I will completely change my way of working and so all the girls in Ireland has to do so. Guys please understand this and stop complaining all the time.
Also thanks for all the support and good wishes that I recieve from all the community.
Thanks so much, Godbless "

Bless her little heart, the poor thing. That is so bloody scary! I hope she feels better soon, send her our best wishes Violette xxx

A bit late to this, but for a moment I was terrified that something happened to Violette! What a wild story. Whats worse is it was with a bike helmet of all things, gees. Que Lastima  

Even though she did everything to prevent this otherwise, there was 1 part that had me a bit startled re: walking in the hallway with him behind her. I never like the idea of a client walking behind me. Ever. To the side or in front but never behind as that is a very vulnerable position.

This is what Im talking about re: revenge. Thats why when a client leaves and seems non-chalant/indifferent as if they didnt really enjoy it, even though you know they did...I wonder. And I'll ask them, "did you REALLY have a good time? I don't want you to leave here feeling you didnt have a good time." Its a game to twist that buyer's remorse and let them realize I busted my ass to make sure they had a good time, so they better not come back and tryo some stupid shit with me like book a fake appointment or....

Lest there's any doubt in their mind, they'll try and pull stupid stunts like this.

I'm so glad she's okay! I didn't even know what to say after the first post, only mumble incoherently to myself about the world and how shit it can be. But then to see the victim of a psychotic attack on her life recover? Such an example of strength. I hope she is still taking it easy? Although some people might prefer to work harder as that helps them heal, rather than too much of doing nothing. I don't know, I have no personal experience. But I'm glad that she knows you, Violette.

And Joey... could you put "victim blaming" into Google and have a read/learn? Some people are psychotic/evil/cruel/twisted and no woman walking in front of them or man not checking to see if they enjoyed themselves thoroughly is going to change that. The latter two are the innocents if the attacker commits a criminal act against them. Sometimes, I go into a shop, and I don't get good customer service, and I DON'T commit a criminal act in response, same as most of the world's population wouldn't. There's no excuse for violence against any human being, ever. I don't mean to sound harsh, I just don't think you need to try and explain why the victim of a violent attack got attacked, or try to explain how you yourself try not to get attacked as though if you didn't do these things, you would deserve to be. There are very understandable reasons for you to be doing this (especially as I know you're not a bad person! ) and so I'll quote the Wikipedia article:

"People who believe that the world has to be fair may find it hard or impossible to accept a situation in which a person is unfairly and badly hurt."

Or:

"Another theory entails the need to protect one's own sense of invulnerability. [...] This is a way of feeling safer."

And lots of other really interesting stuff, the more you read. I know in practicality we do need to advise people (esp. escorts, since this is SAAFE) to take every single precaution, but I think at the same time the general ideas behind it should not indicate something like that by going into this work, we are 'asking for it'.

Hi Jessie, I have to admit I'm pretty much in awe of you and the way you have handled such a dreadful thing. I'm not sure that I'm as brave as you.

Sending you ((((((huge hugs))))))
