This is one of those news headlines that gets your attention. It contains two of my most disliked words which are “undertaker” (the word sends shivers up my spine) and “German” (don’t mention the war). According to the Telegraph a German dominatrix has been forced to pay 200 euros (R2 000) to a local charity as a form of penance after her client, an undertaker, accused her of hurting and robbing him.
Cologne district court spokesman Dirk Esser said the plaintiff had accused the woman he hired for sex last month of holding a kitchen knife to his throat before demanding his debit card and PIN number.
The plaintiff, a 49-year-old undertaker, also said the woman had detained him against his will for five hours. The German court decided that it was impossible to know for sure what really happened because both parties had consumed too much cocaine during their encounter (surprise surprise).
It dropped the charges but ordered the prostitute to pay the “penance money” to a charity that supports crime victims.
The 35-year-old mother of four has been in pretrial custody for the past fiveweeks, but declined to be compensated for time spent in jail, Mr Esser said.
