A prostitute filed criminal charges against me
I wanted to write about something that is happening in my life due to my involvement with a prostitute I met in Rio de Janeiro. I know what happened to me initially, also happens to a lot of other men who travel to Brazil. It is what happened after I learned that I had been rolled, that is stunning.
This website Jackson has created is full of posts of men’s bravado about sexual exploits from around the globe, but very few men write about their attempts to form relationships with some of the girls they meet, and the results when these ‘relationships’ go bad. What is happening to my life because of my naïve belief a relationship with a prostitute was possible; is beyond belief. I wanted to share this with ISG in the hope that I can make some of you men think twice before you attempt to form a relationship with a prostitute.
I met this girl in Rio de Janeiro in Help Disco and was taken back by her beauty. But she was also charming, intelligent, soft spoken, and extremely well mannered. It did not take long for me to fall for her. I thought she was the perfect woman. I considered the fact that she was working as a prostitute nothing more than a circumstance in her life because of the lack of economic opportunities in Brazil.
To make a long story short; I spent the next 18 months wining and dining this woman. She talked about marriage, children, the whole nine yards. I flew her to a few different countries I was working in, paid her bills including her mortgage on her apartment, helped her build a house for her mother, silicon implants, and the list goes on, right up to $40,000 USD. Over the course of the 18 months, there were times I suspected something was amiss, but each time I talked to her about my concerns she always had an answer which seemed to satisfy me. I also thought she needed more time to adjust to a normal life. What I didn’t realize was……when she was not with me in another country, she was still ‘working’ in Brazil. I had been rolled for 18 months and didn’t even realize it. I’m a smart guy; high IQ, well spoken, have a job in management, and reasonably successful in my career. I thought I was way smart enough to spot a con if I ever met one. I could not have been more wrong!
After 18 months, I was getting ready to fly to Rio to spend my birthday with her. She told me she could not be with me because she had to take her sister to the interior of Minas Gerais to a hospital, and there would be no cell coverage, only e-mail. I was really disappointed as I wanted to spend my b-day with her. She sent me a message telling me she would be in Rio in about 2 weeks. On my b-day, I decided to track her down in Brazil and travel to whatever city she was in. I checked the IP address of her e-mail to learn what Brazilian city she was in, only to learn she was really in Italy. I later learned she went there for a few weeks to check the place out. A few months later she traveled there to work as a prostitute on a one year contract; all this according to her mother.
I was absolutely stunned. Then it turned to absolute fury. No one had ever taken money from me like that before. I posted some information on the internet to warn others about this woman. I wrote that she is a prostitute, a thief and a pathological liar; all truths.
Now, this woman has filed charges against me in Brazil alleging slander. It’s a false charge, but it will cost me between $10,000 and $20,000 to defend myself against her accusations. I have more than enough proof to back up my statements against her, but it may cost me $20,000 to clear my name. Slander is a criminal offense in Brazil, carrying a sentence of 6 to 24 months and civil damages are possible as well. I find it incredibly arrogant that this prostitute rolled me for $40,000 USD and is now trying to cause more damage to my life because I tried to inform the public about her. I have serious doubts as to whether I would receive a fair trial in Brazil.
Guys, in general, I don’t think these working girls can possibly lead anything close to a normal life. Forming a relationship with a prostitute is next to impossible. After my experience with this girl, I firmly believe the vast majority of these girls are damaged physiologically to the point they have great difficulty leading normal lives. After I discovered the truth that she had only been using me for money, I talked to 3 or 4 other working girls in Rio, and ALL of them did not see anything wrong with what she did. To them, scamming men is a normal way to make a living.
I frequented prostitutes before, but this experience has made me give up that bad habit. I traveled to Brazil on average once every 4 months. I quit fooling around with prostitutes over a year ago, but continued to travel to Brazil as I really loved the country. I had planned to retire there, but with this legal development, I may never be able to travel there again. The Department of State has told me (off the record) that extradition is highly unlikely in this case, but I don’t find much comfort in that.
Guys, don’t think with the little head when you meet these girls. There are too many girls in Brazil who have you, and many other men as ‘boyfriends.’ When I told one PI in Brazil that I met her in Help Disco, he said “man, I get a lot of work out of that place”. It’s a quote I will never forget. It made me realize I was not alone in my foolish attempt to believe a relationship is possible with one of these girls. If she really cares about you, wait it out until you learn a great deal about her before you start spending large wads of cash. And with Brazilians, you’re not ‘in’ until you meet her family. I talked to this girl’s family, but never met them in person.
It is not worth the attempt to build a relationship with these working girls. If you must frequent prostitutes, use them and dump them. Do not get involved with them personally; it is not worth the risk. My Portuguese is pretty good and I talk to the girls all the time about what happened to me. All of them told me it is quite common for girls to have several boyfriends who send them money. Be careful with your money and your hearts guys. If money is a requirement to maintain the ‘relationship’, then more than likely you are still her client.
All women are not just the same

Don't try to make a general rule out of your personal experience. I'm sure it hurts. I'm sure she didn't treat you fair. And have all my sympathy but.
Saying that all women are just the same, is not very different from saying that all GDP are are just the same. They are not. They are different. Believe me. I also have had my experiences.
In the end love, money and sex are very complex issues. There are no rules.
Your screen name says it all, but.....

But you are doing the right thing by reminding others to not even allow that little seed a gdp can plant in your mind about the possibility of a serious/marriage type relationship.
Gdp's are human, but they are what they are, and do what they do ( make money ). Can't forget that. I thought this obvious to all, but I guess I was wrong.
I understand your bitterness, but cutting out gdp's from your life does not mean that you can not be taken again. For example, a person in your situation now hooks up with a non-gdp, then gets married......then divorced, and you are going to be out more than the $40,000-60,000. Gets screwed as well.
Look at Mel Gibson, he is worth over 900 million. He is getting divorced. Guess what? In California, spouse gets half of what you made from the point of marriage. He's out 450 million. I am sure he will survive with the other half of his cash :)
So you came out smelling like roses! You have your health, job, and your future. Just be thankful you did not have any kids with her.
Thanks again for sharing your experience. Hopefully, it will save others some major heartache and cash.
Start my own PI business in Rio!!
Man, after reading all these posts, I am seriously thinking of starting my own GDP Private Investigation business in Copa. If these guys are willing to send 3-6 thousand dollars a month to keep their lady off the programma, they should be happy to pay me $1,500, for one month of surveillance!
I mean to be honest; How hard could it be? I would just give the flower lady, the chiclette girls and the dozens of homeless kids my business card. And tell them "If you see this girl in Copa, call me immediately". If it is her, I will pay the person a 50R fee.
I would buy a nice video camera with night vision and a zoom lense, sit in a taxi out in front of Help and just wait for the girl to leave with her client. I betcha I could make more money in Copa doin PI work than I do now!!
Does anyone know how much the services of a PI in Rio costs?
