I have just returned from varna with friends and was surprised at the number of prostitutes on party street. On two occasions I sat outside a bar with a prostitute who took a shine tome, one hour on one night and about two hours on the following night. I made it clear that i did not pay for sex but i bought her a few drinks, a packet of cigarettes and gave her ten leve for some food. I did not realise that the pimps were observing us, and on the second night myself and my freinds were followed by what i thought were pimps or mafia?

we gave them the slip, and on the third night we were followed by many more big guys, and had to seek refuge in a hotel. we were in fear of our lives. (i assume it was because i had wasted three hours of her time and not paid her)

She was not out the third night and we assume that she had taken a beating. She gave me her mobile number and told me that she loved me. I felt that she was affraid and being bullied into what she was doing. I have rung her but she does not speak much English, I have text her but have had no reply. I feel for this girl, and am worried about her safety. I would bring her to the uk if i could. Is there anything that can be done?
