Update on client that went broke because of me

So, remember my post about the client who admitted he was going broke? Well, today, he called me and threatened to kill me if I didn’t refund him all the money he ever spent on me. Then, as if that wasn’t enough, he went to the brothel I worked at, snitched on me for seeing him privately, and got me fired.

I went straight to the police, and they arrested him for intimidation and demanding money with menace. Not even an hour after being released, he contacts me again- and gets arrested again.

So now I have no job and a violent, unhinged man obsessed with me. I’m stressed out of my mind and scared for my life. This is the reality of sex work that no one talks about. The entitlement. The danger. The absolute lack of protection.

I did everything right- I cut him off, I went to the police, I reported everything, but I’m still the one suffering the consequences. Meanwhile, he’s out there thinking he can intimidate and control women like this. I don’t even know what to do next. I just know that I’m exhausted, furious, and scared.

Luckily, the police have been extremely supportive whereas the brothel receptionist sided with him. He told her I stole his money which is not true and she encouraged him to go to the police, which he stupidly did and got arrested lol.

ETA: I’m located in Aus where this work is legal
