More info. A FORMER prostitute today provides the most detailed and harrowing account of a vice industry that ensnared her from the age of just Cassie, now 32, reveals how women were enslaved by pimps, raped and trapped in a cycle of drugs and despair. Stuff comes down the conveyer belt - you pack it, it goes.
Still only a teenager, she responded to an advert for a job in an Edinburgh sauna, naively assuming she would be folding towels and answering calls. Inside the saunas, up to 14 women would do 12 hour shifts, with some girls accomodating up to 12 punters a day.
At the weekends you were fighting for rooms. Boyfriends of her friends even turned up, knowing it would be her but she refused to deal with them.
She said the foreign girls, mainly Romanian or Polish, were treated worse than her by the pimps because she was Scottish with a network of friends and family. A lot of them were being used and abused.
