Offer to the CEO

Monday, continued …

Mary took a breath and continued the tale."We spoke to each other about it.TO us it seemed that these powerful people were wanting to respect our opinions and not force us into something that we did not want.We agreed to the meetings and our managers took us to the private rooms for these meetings."

"In the room I entered was CEO Lu himself, and he greeted me at the door.I did not realise it at that time but in greeting me at the door, CEO Lu locked it making me escape from the room impossible.He escorted me to a couch and then apologised for the meeting being in a hotel room, but he knew that it would ensure a private meeting.I cannot remember what we talked about but after about five minutes I was uncomfortable and realised that it was not really about my career."

"At that time I made it clear that I was going to leave and that is when things became horrible.He grabbed me and hit me before dragging me into the bedroom and tying me to the bed.He said that he had not just brought me for the night but for as long as he wanted.He continued saying if I wanted a career in the entertainment industry I had to cater to his demands until he tired of me otherwise he would crush me and ruin my family."

"CEO Lu then ripped off my underwear and s*xually assaulted and raped me.As I lost track of time I have no idea how many times he did that.I just remember arriving back at the company supplied apartment at about 3am, and twenty minutes later she," Mary pointed to her friend before continuing "stumbled in and we broke down in each others arms.I told her what happened to me and she said someone called Rong Jingye did something similar to her."

"The next day my manager called me to a meeting.When I arrived my manager was outside their office and told me to enter the room where I found CEO Lu waiting with a laptop.He used it to play footage of the previous night that had been edited to make it appear that I agreed to what happened.He told me, unless I wanted that footage leaked, my career and family ruined and facing a massive debt with Lu Corporation I had to agree to do whatever he demanded of me until he tired of me."

"During the next nine months he repeatedly abused me forcing me to have s*x with him and any person he demanded, and do any act.When I tried to resist I was beaten and additional threats were leveled towards my family as well as being reminded that my behaviour would be deemed as a breach of the morals clause in my contract requiring me to compensate Lu Corporation to the tune of eighty million for damaging their brand."

"I believed I had no option.About three months ago his abuse of me slowed down and ceased two months ago.That aligned with a new batch of artists between fourteen and seventeen joined the company.The last time he forced me to have s*x with him, he had a fifteen-year-old girl with him, who he blackmailed me to show her how to pleasure him, and to join them having group s*x"

"In that room, was also seven other men, and once he was happy that I had achieved the task he wanted he told them they could do with me what I liked.I was kept in that room for about three days, forced to have s*x with those men on demand.I do not think i slept all that time.When I was let out of the room, CEO Lu was there and reminded me that I had to do what he told me otherwise that footage would be released."

"Sophie's brother is employed by the government working in cyber security and we told him what had happened to me.His area of expertise is dealing with child pornography online and gathering the evidence to prosecute perpetrators and producers of it.He was able to locate footage of not only my abuse but the abuse of other girls on line, but so far has not been able to trace who posted it or who has viewed it."

"On the night that the abuse started, we knew enough to get medical treatment and snuck out of the company accommodation attending a nearby free medical clinic.We both told them what happened, but were frightened to tell them the perpetrators.They took something they called a **** kit telling us they would file it with the police in case we changed our mind in the future and wanted to talk about what happened."

"The clinic also screened us for s*xually transmitted diseases.When they knew we were in the entertainment industry they arranged for us to come in once a fortnight to be checked, and given contraception.The doctor who saw me said that I had to be ready to report what happened to me, but they would help to keep me as safe physically as possible."

"About six months after the abuse started I found out as a result of his abuse I had fallen pregnant to CEO Lu.I was still only 16 years old.As there was no way I wanted the baby, the clinic arranged for an abortion with the doctor who was seeing me ensuring a sample of the baby was kept for the purposes of DNA testing in case I decided to make a report.I want him dealt with, but it will not only ruin my career, but destroy my family."
