A Belgian farmer who had a relationship with a sex worker had to go to court to recover more than $875,000 he paid her.
The man, who claims the money was lent to the woman in her 30s, appealed to a court, which decided to charge her with fraud, extortion and breach of trust.
The introverted farmer, who was unwell, met the sex worker in a massage parlor in Waregem, West Flanders, 7Sur7 reported on Monday.
The two lovebirds stayed in touch outside of the show and the farmer deposited sums of money into the bank account of the thirty-year-old, who claimed money problems.
“He assumed that she should reimburse him for this money,” her lawyer Olivier Mostrey is said to have emphasized during the court hearing, according to Belgian media.
When the man decided to stop giving him money, the angry woman harassed him and threatened to commit suicide or distribute explicit photos of him.
Still, the money he paid her allowed the sex worker to live a high life, buying luxury clothes and even $600 shoes for her baby.
