Fake oil tycoon tricked models into sex slavery

AN Iranian conman allegedly duped ten wannabe models into being his sex slaves after pretending to be an oil tycoon with an enviable list of contacts in the fashion industry, Daily Mail reported.

The 50-year-old, known as Shoja S, reportedly fathered seven children with the women after convincing them all to live at his Spanish palace for three years with the promise of making them catwalk stars, according to the report.

The European and Asian girls, aged between 19 and 24, soon realized they were being conned, but were unable to leave after allegedly being subjected to emotional and physical abuse, the report said.

One of the women has now filed a lawsuit against Shoja S, who is reportedly about 50-years-old, for allegedly forcing her family to pay the 6,500 euros (US$9,019) rent for his mansion in Marbella where they were housed, the report said.

Eight others have pressed charges against him for physical and psychological abuse that allegedly left them in a state of "terror".

Shoja S, who pretended to be a CEO for an oil company, told a court in Marbella that the girls were his employees.

The women - originally from Germany, Lithuania, Kazakhstan, Denmark, Mongolia, Russia and Turkmenistan - have left the house, according to the report.

Some are living in shelters, while one has left the country, the report said.
