Model Jumps From 6 Storey Building To Escape Alleged Rapist, Arrested By Authorities
A Russian Model, Ekaterina Stetsyuk, 22, from the city of Irkutsk in eastern Siberia, jumped from the 6th floor of a Dubai hotel, breaking her back in the process, in a bid to escape an American businessman set out to rape her.
She claimed that the man held a knife to her throat and all she could do was jump to escape. She has now been arrested by the authorities in Dubai on the suspicion of being an escort.
The American who has yet to be identified, however, claims that it was the model who attacked him.
‘The attack took place on March 3,’ said the model’s mother Inge.
‘A man, a foreigner, attacked Katya, grabbed her neck and put a knife at her throat.
‘My daughter tried to save her life, she had to jump from the sixth floor. She has serious injuries, she can’t walk.
‘And yesterday Katya (Ekaterina) called and said she would be taken to jail. They want to make her guilty.’
The man is reported to run a business in Dubai. He claimed Ekaterina had attacked him and he had to defend himself.
Inge added: ‘We were not speaking about what happened to Katya because we hoped that our consulate would help. They asked us not to talk to media, but now I do not know whom I can trust.’
The man’s counterclaim, however, led to the arrest of the Russian model even while on her hospital bed. If convicted, the would-be rapist could face up to 15 years in jail.
As for Ekaterina herself, the model recorded a video from her hospital bed reassuring her mother. She said; ‘I am doing well, do not worry about me. People from the (Russian) consulate visited, I can get in touch with you.
‘My surgery was postponed. We’ll see how it goes. All will be fine, do not worry. (Friend’s name) has come to see me, all ok. All is fine mummy, I love you. Kisses. I have got everything.
‘Nastya’s friends visited me yesterday, they are from Dubai, they brought lots of tasty things, I am eating well here. All is fine, kisses.’
