Ballsy Rapist sentenced 27 years in jail

KUALA LUMPUR: A jobless man who raped a Vietnamese girl at a massage parlour, forced its caretaker to watch the act and then rob the centre was jailed 27 years and ordered to be whipped nine times.

Mohamad Fadzlie M. Rosdi, 20, whose rape victim told the police that he had ball bearings in his private parts, cried when he was approached by his father, kissed his mother’s hand and hugged his brother after the verdict was handed down.

Former contractor Mohd Khairell Idzham Hashim, 21, who slashed the caretaker’s left ear (the victim required 120 stitches for his injuries) and a cosmetics salesman’s hand, received 30 years’ jail and 10 strokes of the rotan.

The statement of facts revealed that Mohamad Fadzlie raped the 18-year-old girl on a sofa and forced the caretaker and another Vietnamese woman to watch it at Seasons House Theraphy Centre in Setapak at 1am on Nov 25.

Upon hearing the court judgment yesterday, the family members and friends of both accused wept openly.

When Mohamad Fadzlie’s father told him that “we will see you in jail tomorrow”, the younger man broke down.

Judge Emelia Kaswati Mohamad Khalid said the Sessions Court considered that both accused, who had been detained at two rehabilitation centres for two years under the Emergency Ordinance, were only released in March.

“You still are not remorseful. It is more cruel when you committed the rape in front of others,” she said, adding that the court had also taken into account a parang was used to cause injury to two victims.

“I hope the sentence will give a lesson for you. Go into religion while you are in jail. You learn to pray,” she told both accused.

Emelia sentenced Mohamad Fadzlie to 15 years in jail and five strokes of the rotan for rape and 12 years and two strokes of the rotan for each of the two causing hurt in committing robbery charges. The jail term for causing hurt will run concurrently.

Emelia gave Mohd Khairell 15 years and five strokes of the rotan for each of the two charges of causing hurt in committing robbery.

The judge made the order after hearing the victim impact statements from caretaker Jong Chiak Eng and salesman Teoh Chee Fah.

Yesterday, Jong said his ear was slashed by the accused, adding that not long after the attack, his ear fell off and he had to see a specialist to re-attach it.

Teoh said he could still feel pain in his left hand after the incident.

Boyfriend of Amy Winehouse 'raped woman as she slept'

The boyfriend of late Grammy-winning British singer Amy Winehouse allegedly raped a female friend while she was asleep, a British court heard Monday.

Reg Traviss, 35, a film director who was dating Winehouse when she died of alcohol poisoning at her London home in July last year, faces two counts of rape at Southwark Crown Court in London.

The prosecution claims Traviss attacked the woman, a friend, after she was so drunk she could not stand.

The complainant, who spoke from behind a screen, told the jury of six men and six women that Traviss had been "shattered and quite distressed" by Winehouse's death when she saw him six weeks before the alleged rapes.

She said she saw Traviss three or four times a year, but there was no indication of romance.

The court heard that Traviss and the complainant had been drinking at three bars in London on December 30 last year before going to his home.

The woman alleges she fell asleep twice and woke up to Traviss raping her.

The court heard that the woman could not find her underwear when she was about to leave Traviss' home.

Prosecutor Kate Lumsdon said Traviss told the alleged victim: "I actually want to keep them."

The court heard that in the new year the complainant travelled to New York to stay with a friend and waited about three weeks before reporting Traviss to police once she returned to London.

But Ian Winter, a defence lawyer for Traviss, said the two were equally drunk and had consensual sex. The claims were "frankly absurd", he said.

After the alleged rapes the pair texted each other about possibly meeting up the following night to go to a band's after-show party.

The trial continues.

A WOMAN in her 20s was gang-raped by two men who had a personal vendetta against her husband.

Harian Metro reported that the rapists left behind a note for the husband which read: “Your life is in danger. I will make sure you will die.”

A source told the daily that the woman was alone at home and in the shower in Bandar Teknologi Kajang when the men barged into the house in the 3.30pm incident last Friday.

“The victim was shocked to see two strangers. Before she could scream for help, the men drew out weapons and threatened to injure her.

“Fearing for her safety, the victim kept silent and the men tied her hands and feet and covered her mouth with cloth,” said the source.

The men then took turns to rape the woman, and fled after leaving a note on the back door.

The victim managed to untie herself before making a phone call to her husband.

The husband rushed home from work and found the back door damaged but nothing was missing from the house.

The couple went to the Kajang police station to lodge a report.

Kajang OCPD Asst Comm Ab Rashid Ab Wahab confirmed the incident and said investigations were ongoing.

Man raped to death by 5 wives

Extraordinary story of the husband who was 'raped to death' by five wives because he was paying too much attention to the sixth

A wealthy businessman - and husband of six - has died after allegedly being forced into a marathon sex session with his 'jealous' wives.

Nigerian Uroko Onoja was having sex with the youngest of his spouses when the remaining five are reported to have set upon him with knives and sticks - and demanded that he have sex with each of them too.

Mr Onoja went on to have intercourse with four of his wives in succession, but 'stopped breathing' as the fifth was making her way to the bed in Ogbadibo, according to Nigeria's Daily Post.

Two women have been arrested following the incident in the state of Benue last week, said the report, which used the term 'raped to death' to describe the businessman's fate.

Mr Onoja is understood to have returned from a bar in the small community of Ugbugbu, Ogbadibo, at around 3am on Tuesday, and headed for the bedroom of his youngest wife.

His five other wives - who were said to have held a meeting to discuss their intentions before their husband arrived home - are then alleged to have burst into the bedroom armed with knives and sticks to insist that they too be granted their conjugal rights.

The businessman, who has been described as a philanthropist who 'contributed positively' to the growth of his local community, is thought to have resisted the demands of his wives' before being overpowered.

Mr Onoja reportedly stopped breathing and could not be resuscitated after having sex with four of his wives in a row.

His youngest spouse is quoted as saying her five fellow wives ran into the forest when they realised their husband was dead.

The head of his village, Okpe Odoh, told the Daily Post the matter had been reported to police.

Psychiatrist suspended for 10-year sexual relationship with patient

A psychiatrist practising at The Psychiatric & Behavioural Medicine Clinic (Ang & Kong) at Mount Elizabeth Medical Centre was taken to task by the Singapore Medical Council (SMC), for having an improper sexual relationship with his patient for over 10 years. Dr Kong Sim Guan, also known as Sim Heng Guan, was suspended for three years and fined $10,000 in a rare disciplinary case for the relationship that lasted from 1996 and 2009. Under SMC's medical code and ethical guidelines, a doctor must not have a sexual relationship with a patient, or be involved in an adulterous relationship. The council's disciplinary committee found that the patient was a psychiatric patient who was no doubt a vulnerable patient. She was clearly a troubled patient with marital issues, the committee said. 'We are cognizant of the fact that the medical issues faced by the Patient were related to her mental well-being and as her psychiatrist, (Kong) should have been more than aware that his sexual relationship with her can only be interpreted as taking advantage of her troubled state and vulnerability, let alone exacerbating and complicating her marital problems,' the committee noted.

Man pleads guilty to raping and sodomising half-sister

A 38-year-old man yesterday pleaded guilty to raping and sodomising his half-sister with the help of his wife. The former car grooming coordinator at a petrol kiosk also pleaded guilty to one count of possession of obscene films. The accused, who has been charged with four counts of rape and six of sexual assault, assaulted his half-sister over two days between March 12 and 14 in 2010. The victim, a 21-year-old factory worker, shares the same mother with the accused and is mildly mentally retarded. She was sent to the accused's home, after her other half-brother and his wife, with whom she was living, were upset she wanted to quit her job as a counter staff. At about midnight, the accused told the girl he wanted "to punish her" and wanted her to "feel pain". He told her to remove her clothes, proceeded to remove his and told her to turn around. He then instructed his wife to hold on to the girl's legs and raped her. Throughout the night, the girl pleaded with the accused not to hurt her. He ignored her and at one point hit her head with an ashtray. The victim was unable to run away from the accused's flat the next day as she was watched over by his wife while the accused went to work. When he returned, the accused told his wife to put on a pornographic movie and called for the girl to sit beside him. He then had sexual intercourse with his wife, forcing the victim to "watch and learn from them". Later in the night, he sodomised her. She was subsequently conveyed to the KK Women's and Children's Hospital and a genital examination revealed a ripped vulva and swollen anus. The case has been adjourned for mitigation next Monday. The maximum penalty for rape is 20 years' jail and 24 strokes of the cane while the possession of obscene films incurs a fine of S$1,000 for each film, not exceeding S$40,000 or up to 12 months imprisonment or both.

50-year-old raped on first date

KUALA LUMPUR: A middle-aged woman's search for love on the Internet took a sour turn after she was raped and blackmailed. It is learnt that the 50-year-old woman had gone to a house in Cheras to meet a foreign man she had befriended through a social networking site in May. The woman had been communicating with the man for the past two months and he had asked her to meet him at his house. Sources revealed that when she went to the house on June 30, he locked her in. The victim then claimed that she was put under a spell. “She woke up later to find herself naked in bed with no one in the house at the time,” the source said. After a few days, a parcel containing a pen drive was sent to the victim's home. The pen drive allegedly contained a recording of her being raped by two men. The suspects then demanded that the victim pay a substantial amount of money to stop them from making the recording public. “The suspects said they would upload the four-minute video onto the Internet if she fails to pay the money,” he added. The woman then lodged a police report at the Cheras police station. Cheras OCPD Asst Comm Mohan Singh confirmed that a report was lodged on July 4. He said police had picked up three men aged between 30 and 32 in connection with the incident. They have been remanded until today to facilitate investigations. ACP Mohan advised women to be wary of men they meet online. Source: The Star Online

Ex-MOE scholar jailed for sexual offences with minor

SINGAPORE: Former Ministry of Education scholar Jonathan Wong Wai Kheong was sentenced to five years' jail on Monday. Twenty-five-year-old Wong was previously charged in Singapore with 10 counts of sexual offences with an underage girl. He was found guilty on five counts, including two counts of committing indecent acts and three counts of having sex with a minor. Wong, who was caught for possessing child pornography in Britain, was expelled by the University of York and had his scholarship revoked in 2010. He is now an editorial assistant with a publishing company here. Wong and the girl, who was then 15 years old, became close after chatting online over Facebook and Skype. Wong addressed the girl as "daughter" and the girl in turn called him "daddy". They later met up and had sex on several occasions between February and June last year. These included oral sex at a toilet at Esplanade Drive. They also had sex at staircase landings of blocks in Bukit Batok Central and Woodlands Drive. Wong also lured the girl into sex under the pretence of sexual education. On one occasion, he told the girl to strip and masturbate in an online video chat. He then took nude pictures of her, unknown to her. The court heard that Wong, who has been diagnosed a paedophile, had a 22-year-old girlfriend at the time of the offences. Deputy Public Prosecutor Kavita Uthrapathy described Wong as a "smooth-operator" who "sexually-groomed" the girl. She also brought up Wong's past offences, which included molesting a schoolgirl and peeping into a female toilet, when he was in secondary school. Wong, who appeared in court in shackles, told the court that he was "deeply remorseful." In a six-page handwritten mitigation plea, Wong admitted that his condition would trigger when faced with pornography or when he came into close "emotional and physical contact with an underage girl". In his statement, Wong added that he had taken precautionary steps, including seeking psychological treatment and a self-imposed curfew. He also said that he had deleted every contact he had of any girl below 18 years of age, from his phone and Facebook. District Judge Jasbendar Kaur, in her sentencing, condemned Wong for "taking advantage of a vulnerable girl" in order "to satisfy his own base sexual needs." She said Wong's offences were serious and highlighted the multiple sexual occasions. However, she noted that it was "heartening" that Wong was "quite clear and determined in seeking necessary professional help". Under the Children and Young Persons Act, anyone convicted of sexual exploitation can be jailed up to two years and fined S$5,000. In the case of a second conviction, the maximum sentence is four years' jail and S$10,000 fine. For having sex with an underage girl, Wong could also be jailed up to 10 years and fined. SourceL CNA

Man jailed 4 months for sexually abusing 15-year-old girl

A man who sexually abused a 15-year-old girl was jailed for four months on Monday.

Ng Wai Yeong, 23, had admitted to two charges of sexual assault by penetration of a minor at a condominium carpark and along Lorong Lew Lian in November 2010.

Four other charges were taken into consideration during his sentencing.

He could have been jailed for up to 10 years and/or fined on each of the two charges.

Former SCDF chief charged with corruption

SINGAPORE: The former chief of the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF), Peter Lim Sin Pang, has been charged with 10 counts of corruption.

The court on Wednesday heard that the former SCDF commissioner allegedly obtained sexual gratification from three women between May 2010 and November 2011.


From a hotel in Paris to car parks in various parts of Singapore and apartments in Clementi and Tanjong Rhu, these were where Lim, 52, allegedly had sex with three women - two vendors and a potential vendor.


Lim allegedly had oral sex from Lee Wei Hoon, a director of Singapore Radiation Centre and Pang Chor Mui, a general manager at Nimrod Engineering.


Lim is also accused of having sex on seven occasions with Esther Goh Tok Mui, a business development director at NCS Private Limited.


In return, Lim would show favour to the companies where the women are working in, for IT-related tenders called by the SCDF.


Lim, who is married, was arrested by the Corrupt Practices Investigation Bureau (CPIB) in January this year and removed from his post in the same month.


He is now out on a S$10,000 bail.


His passport has also been surrendered to the CPIB.


Dressed in a blue long-sleeved shirt, Lim arrived at the Subordinate Courts in a black car on Wednesday. 


He appeared worried as the charges were read out in court, and declined comment when approached by the media. 


A couple, who accompanied Lim as he walked out of court, told MediaCorp that they were there to give Lim moral support.


Lim will be back in court on July 5. 


If convicted, he could be jailed up to five years and fined S$100,000 for each charge.


The other high-ranking civil servant embroiled in the same case is Ng Boon Gay, former director of the Central Narcotics Bureau (CNB).


Ng, who has also been removed from his post, was arrested about two weeks before Lim.


He has yet to be charged.

HK music producer Lee Ming Ho investigated for rape of TVB actress

HONG KONG: Hong Kong police recently revealed that 32-year-old Hong Kong music producer Lee Ming Ho is under investigation for allegedly raping a 23-year-old actress in his Vi-Max Music Studio at Hong Kong's Tsim Sha Tsui on Monday, reported Hong Kong media.

Lee is currently out on bail and has since denied these accusations.

"I really didn't do it. This whole incident has greatly affected me and my company! I don't know if she (the young actress who accused him of rape) is out to make a name for herself!" Lee told Hong Kong media on Tuesday.

"I don't even know why the police will look for me. Rape is a very serious accusation, if it is true, the police will definitely charge me. How is it possible that I am allowed bail!" 

The identity of the young actress, who claimed to have been sexually violated while she was drunk at the music studio, is still a mystery, though senior TVB official Virginia Lok, has confirmed on Wednesday that she is an actress with TVB.

"As a woman, she (the alleged victim) immediately went to the police after meeting with such an incident (her alleged rape). 

"I am very supportive of her. It is a very brave thing to do," said Lok, before going on to urge young artistes to share their problems with their colleagues, and not use alcohol as a means of escape.

Lok's revelation has inadvertently put every single TVB actress aged around 23 under suspicion and sparked renewed speculation over the identity of the alleged victim.

Husband 'raped' his bride on their wedding night

A husband raped his bride on their wedding night after returning home from a huge party to celebrate their wedding, a court has heard.

The newly-wed woman told him she did not want to have sex because she was so drunk but he carried on, a jury were told.

He went on to rape her four more times during their two year marriage including on one occasion when she was still in stitches a week after giving birth in a Caesarean operation.

When the bride, now 23, complained he replied: "You're my wife, it's allowed", and after one attack he asked her calmly to go and make him a cup of tea, Exeter Crown Court was told.

The 35 year old man, who now lives in West Cornwall, denies five rapes on the same woman in Bideford, North Devon, between 2009 and 2011.

Richard Crabb, prosecuting, said the couple had been together for five years and had two children before they decided to get married.

They met when she was 16 and there was a 12 year age gap between them. Mr Crabb said: "She was very much in love with him and called him her Prince Charming.

There were rows but they always made up. She says everything altered once they got married. "The first rape was on their wedding night.

One can see the headlines: 'Bride cries rape on her wedding night' – but it is not quite as it seems. "On that day they married in the morning and in the bride's words 'we christened our wedding vows straight away because we wanted to have sex before we got too drunk, so we had consensual sex after the marriage'.

"They then had a party in which they were accompanied by a large group of friends and they went on the mother and father of all pub crawls. "

She became very, very drunk and recalls dancing on a bar doing karaoke at one pub and seeing the sun come up as they walked home.

"She asked him to help her out of her shoes and he became amorous. She told him to stop because she was too drunk but he continued. She was drifting in and out of consciousness and told him to get off her. "He took no notice and had sex with her against her will."

Mr Crabb said the other alleged rapes occurred later in the marriage, including one when she was very heavily pregnant with her third child and another shortly after the birth by caesarean section.

He said: "When she asked him why he had done it he said 'You are my wife. You were lying there asking for it."

Mr Crabb said he had said the same thing after the final two attacks, which took place within days of each other early last year.

After one he said 'You're my wife. It's allowed'. The man told police all the allegations were lies and the only sex he had with his wife was consensual.

He said: "She had made it all up to get me out of her life." The trial continues.

Travolta lawyer debunks sex claim by 3rd man

LOS ANGELES (REUTERS) - John Travolta's lawyer on Friday hit back at 'ridiculous' new claims of sexual advances levelled at the actor by a third man, as a first accuser backtracked on the date of an alleged Beverly Hills incident.

Cruise ship worker Fabian Zanzi claimed on a Chilean TV show, Primer Plano, that the Hollywood star offered him US$12,000 (S$15,000) to have sex while on a cruise in 2009.

It was unclear whether Zanzi had filed a legal action against Travolta, who is already the subject of a sexual assault lawsuit by two unidentified masseurs in Los Angeles.

'This is just another ridiculous claim by someone hopping on the bandwagon to get his 15 minutes of fame with a story about something that supposedly happened over three years ago,' Travolta's lawyer Martin Singer said in a statement on Friday.

'At that time Zanzi's supervisors did not believe him, confined him to his cabin and subsequently fired him, according to media reports. Significantly, we never heard of this guy before. The fact that we are only hearing about him now through tabloid gossip stories three years later speaks volumes,' Singer added.

Meanwhile, the masseur known as John Doe No. 1 who filed the first sexual assault lawsuit against Travolta last week was reported on Friday to have admitted that he got the date wrong of his alleged, unwanted encounter with the actor at the Beverly Hills Hotel.

Travolta's lawyers have insisted that the two-time Oscar nominee, who has been married for 20 years to actress Kelly Preston, was in New York City on the day of the alleged incident in California. A restaurant receipt and photos have appeared on celebrity websites to bolster their claims.

Celebrity website RadarOnline.com, quoting unnamed sources close to the case, reported on Friday that the day on which the alleged Beverly Hills assault took place was earlier than the original Jan 16 date stated in the masseur's lawsuit.

The lawyer for John Doe No. 1 on Friday, told Reuters in an e-mail that he no longer represented the masseur, and did not return calls seeking further comment. The new attorney for the plaintiff could not be reached.

A second masseur, also unidentified, joined the US$2 million lawsuit this week, claiming Travolta had touched his genitals and approached him for sex at an Atlanta hotel on Jan 28.

Singer has called all the claims absurd, ridiculous and fictional.

Travolta, 58, is one of Hollywood's most beloved stars after roles in Saturday Night Fever, Grease and Pulp Fiction.

He also gained worldwide sympathy when his autistic son Jett, 16, died after a seizure in 2009.

UNITED KINGDOM: A man has admitted kidnapping and sexually assaulting a 10-year-old boy and the separate abduction of a young girl.

The defendant, who cannot be named for legal reasons, entered guilty pleas to a total of five charges when he appeared by video-link at Wolverhampton Crown Court.

The 49-year-old pleaded guilty to kidnapping, falsely imprisoning and sexually assaulting the 10-year-old boy, who was abducted while making his way to a shop in the Oldbury area of the West Midlands last November.

Entering his pleas from HMP Woodhill in Buckinghamshire, he also admitted a further count of kidnap with intent to commit a sexual offence in relation to the boy's disappearance.

The man also pleaded guilty to abducting a 10-year-old girl in the West Midlands last September.

Following today's 40-minute hearing, the defendant was further remanded in custody for sentencing on a date to be fixed.

In a statement issued after the hearing, Detective Chief Inspector Gary Booth, of West Midlands Police, said:
"The offender was arrested and subsequently charged following a large-scale painstaking police investigation into the kidnap of a young lad.

"The boy should only have been gone from home for a matter of minutes but his short journey to the local shop turned into something far more sinister as the defendant abducted him and took him away from safety to a nearby location.

"Thankfully the alarm was raised swiftly and the quick actions of police and the local community meant we were able to return the child to his family without him having suffered significant injury."

Mr Booth added that the incident had a massive impact on the children involved and the wider community.

"We are pleased that these young victims and their families were spared the ordeal of a prolonged court
process and he has admitted his actions," he said.

"We hope all those affected can take comfort from knowing that a dangerous offender is now off the streets."

China police detain British man over sexual assault

BEIJING (AFP) - A British man has been detained for allegedly sexually assaulting a woman on the side of a road in Beijing, police said on Thursday, as a purported video of the incident went viral on the web.

The video, which showed a foreign man standing next to a visibly distressed Chinese woman lying on a roadside flowerbed with her pants down, drew more than 4.5 million views.

'A drunk man sexually assaulted a woman in a public place on the evening of May 8, and when passers-by realised, they stopped him and called the police,' said a message posted on the Beijing public security bureau's official microblog page.

It added that the man, who has been detained, is British and is in China on a tourist visa. It also linked the incident to the video circulating online.

The video - which has gone viral - also shows male passers-by beating and kicking the alleged attacker, who is left lying on the road when police show up.

Mr John Gallagher, spokesman for the British embassy in Beijing, told AFP the embassy had not yet received any official notifications about the incident from the Chinese police.

The video purportedly showing the assault was uploaded to video-sharing website Youku.com, but it is unclear who filmed the incident.

China is generally considered a safe country for women given that sexual assaults and cases of violence are still relatively rare.

2nd masseur accuses John Travolta of sexual battery

LOS ANGELES (REUTERS) - A second unidentified masseur has joined a US$2 million (S$2.4 million) lawsuit against John Travolta claiming the actor sexually assaulted the men in two separate incidents during private massages, according to amended court documents filed on Tuesday.

The second unnamed man, a resident of Georgia referred to as John Doe No. 2 in court papers obtained by Reuters, claimed that Travolta rubbed his legs, touched his genitals and tried to initiate sex at a private appointment at the actor's room inside an Atlanta hotel on Jan 28.

The allegations echo those of John Doe No. 1, a resident of Texas, who filed the initial complaint late last week and accused Travolta of sexually assaulting him during a private massage at the Beverly Hills Hotel on Jan 16.

'This second 'anonymous' claim is just as absurd and ridiculous as the first one,' said attorney Martin Singer, who represents the Hollywood actor.

'Our client will be fully vindicated in court on both of these absurd and fictional claims.'

Travolta's spokesman has called the lawsuit 'complete fiction and fabrication.'

The plaintiff's attorney, Pasadena, California-based Okorie Okorocha, told Reuters that since the initial complaint was filed last week, he has had many more potential victims come forward with similar complaints.

'I will file for every single victim. Mr Travolta has been able to evade justice, and he's going to challenge it with me but I'm not afraid... I'll stand up to him,' said Mr Okorocha.

He said that the men did not go to the police because they did not think the police would believe them.

Travolta, 58, rose to fame in the 1970s on the television sitcom Welcome Back Kotter, then became a movie star with hits such as Saturday Night Fever, Grease, and later, Pulp Fiction.

He has been nominated for two Academy Awards and has been married to wife Kelly Preston since 1991.

Child Sex Ring: Nine Guilty Of Grooming Girls

Nine men have been found guilty of being part of a child exploitation ring that groomed underage girls for sex by plying them with alcohol and drugs.


Eleven men were charged with a range of offences from having sex with underage girls, sexual assault, trafficking and rape. They all denied the charges.


The nine men found guilty were Kabeer Hassan, Abdul Aziz, Abdul Rauf, Mohammed Sajid, Adil Khan, Abdul Qayyum, Mohammed Amin, Hamid Safi and a 59-year-old man, who cannot be named for legal reasons.


The trial at Liverpool Crown Court took 11 weeks and heard from alleged victims and the defendants themselves.


The prosecution's case was that the men worked together as a group to secure for themselves and others underage girls for sex.


It was claimed that the men drove the young girls around parts of Greater Manchester and delivered them to flats and houses where men were waiting to have sex with them.


Some of the victims told the jury that they were threatened with violence if they did not submit to 
their demands.


They said they were lured in with free cigarettes, alcohol and food.


But some of the defendants told the court that the girls were willing participants, and were happy to have sex with the men in return for money.

Travolta denies 'baseless' masseur lawsuit

LOS ANGELES: John Travolta dismissed as a "baseless lie" Monday a lawsuit seeking US$2 million for alleged assault and sexual battery of a masseur, during a massage session at a Beverly Hills hotel.


The lawsuit filed in Los Angeles claims Travolta tried to have sex with the male masseur, whom he had allegedly hired for a US$200-an-hour massage in January. Travolta's statement said the actor was not even in Los Angeles.


The "Saturday Night Fever" and "Pulp Fiction" star met the masseur, who was only anonymously identified as "John Doe," in his black Lexus SUV on January 16, according to the legal document published by celebrity news website TMZ.


The actor took the masseur to a bungalow at the Beverly Hills Hotel, and was given a normal one-hour massage -- but then Travolta offered to give a "reverse massage."


The masseur told Travolta he did not have sex with clients. The 58-year-old actor called him a "loser," but paid him double the hourly rate and left, the document claimed.


"This lawsuit is a complete fiction and fabrication. None of the events claimed in the suit ever occurred," Travolta's publicist said in a statement cited by celebrity bible People magazine and others.


"The plaintiff, who refuses to give their name, knows that the suit is a baseless lie. It is for that reason that the plaintiff hasn't been identified with a name even though it is required to do so."


The publicist said Travolta was not in California, but on the other side of the country on the US East Coast, when the masseur claims the encounter took place.


"Plaintiff's attorney has filed this suit to try and get his 15 minutes of fame," the statement added.


"John intends to get this case thrown out and then he will sue the attorney and plaintiff for malicious prosecution."
