Belarusian model who claims to know Donald Trump ‘secrets’ pleads for US help as she and Russian ‘sex coach’ attend Thailand court hearing
Anastasia Vashukevich and Alexander Kirillov have been detained since they and eight other foreigners were arrested in February at their ‘sex training course’
A Belarusian model pleaded for US help as she and a Russian “sex coach” arrived for a court hearing in Thailand on Tuesday, in a case that has grabbed widespread attention after the model claimed to have revelations about alleged Russian meddling in the 2016 US election.
Anastasia Vashukevich, known by her pen name Nastya Rybka, and self-styled sex guru Alexander Kirillov have been detained since they and eight other foreigners were arrested in February by Thai police who raided their “sex training course” in the seaside city of Pattaya.
They were initially charged with lacking a work permit but are now facing additional charges of soliciting prostitution and criminal association, according to Apichai Krobpetch, Pattaya’s police chief.
The pair, who are embroiled in a political scandal back in Russia, made international headlines after Vashukevich offered to reveal secrets to American journalists in a video posted on Instagram soon after their arrest in Pattaya.
