DAILY STAR PAGE 3 GIRL KIDNAP SEX SLAVE HELL

SEX SLAVE ‘AUCTION’ HELL FOR STAR GIRL

- By OLIVER PRITCHARD oliver.pritchard@dailystar.co.uk

A DAILY Star Page 3 girl has told how she feared for her life after she was drugged and kidnapped to be sold as a sex slave.

Chloe Ayling believed she faced years being traded around the Middle East – before being fed to tigers.

A MODEL who was drugged and kidnapped to be sold as a sex slave is a regular Page 3 girl in the Daily Star.

Chloe Ayling, 20, was tied up by her hands and feet, placed in a bag and her attackers threatened to feed her to tigers.

She was lured to Milan, Italy, with the promise of a glamorous photoshoot.

But she was auctioned on the dark web for £270,000.

Her captors – believed to be from a sinister crime gang known as Black Death – took pity on her when they discovered she had a two-year-old son and let her go.

Speaking from her London home yesterday, she said: “I’ve been through a terrifying experience.

“I’ve feared for my life, second by second, minute by minute, hour by hour.

“I’m incredibly grateful to the Italian and UK authoritie­s for all they have done to secure my safe release.

“I have just arrived home after four weeks and haven’t had time to collect my thoughts.”

She added: “I am not at liberty to say anything further until I have been debriefed by the UK police.”

Suspects

She said: “He [my captor] told me…. that he alone had earned more than 15million euros in the last five years and explained to me that all the girls are destined for the Arab countries.

“When the buyer gets tired of the girl bought by auction (they) can give them to other people, and when it is no longer of interest they are to become a ‘tiger meal’.”

Chloe was taken to a farmhouse near Turin where she was handcuffed to a chest of drawers and left sitting on a sleeping bag.

But their rules, she told investigat­ors, forbid them from kidnapping mums.

She claimed to have encountere­d five different kidnappers – though she only ever saw two of them.

Suspect Lukasz Herba, 30, has been arrested. Police detained the Britishbas­ed Pole in Milan and found a Black Death leaflet, with images of plague doctors from the 1300s, and a note explaining why Chloe was released.

Chloe’s lawyer Francesco Pesce said: “It must have been terrible for her, a terrible human experience.”

Chloe told police she was attacked by two men who reportedly demanded £270,000 in Bitcoins to free her.

A spokeswoma­n for the Foreign Office said: “We have been providing consular support to a British woman in Italy and are in touch with local authoritie­s.”

Chloe has faced danger before while on a Paris photoshoot in April when she fled a terrorist attack.

She was walking along the ChampsElys­ées as a gunman shot a police officer dead before being killed.
