Sex Slave: Harvey Weinstein’s expose may save us all

When I read Ronan Farrow’s article exposing Harvey Weinstein’s network of lawyers and spies — including former Mossad agents working undercover — to track women and reporters I felt an enormous sense of relief.

The weight of having been spied on relentlessly by Ira Riklis a billionaire who manipulated me into becoming his sex slave 30 years ago was lifted. I was no longer on my own.

The layers of horrendous things he did to me began to slide off me. Things, by the way done by what appears to be the *same* people. The *same* bunch of attorneys. The *same* methods. It is no coincidence. Riklis created companies and created partnerships with people and companies that did his dirty work. That added a layer between him and what these people did to me.

Like having me kidnapped in 1991 at knifepoint in my apartment where I was told by the intruder that he was there to “kill me.”

And then when I managed to escape on the fifth day of terror and fled to Los Angeles another series of strange attacks continued. Like the destruction of any business I started. The intrusion of any personal relationship I began (any one I dated received anonymous phone calls or emails saying things about me that were not true — yet stating they “knew” things about me and could supply photos). The attacks throughout the years has been relentless.

Ira Riklis just happens to be friends with Harvey Weinstein. He is also someone I suspect who arranged to help his friend Weinstein because the people and the agencies all link back to Riklis.

Rose McGowen told her story. Other women followed. Ronan Farrow didn’t back down as others have throughout the 30 years I have been privy to some of this information in various disguises: different attorneys, same attorneys, different spies, same spies, fake people with different names and different reasons planted themselves into my life to such an intense degree that when I met someone casually I demanded to see their driver’s license.

It must appear amazing to someone who is on the outside to see this unseemly underworld of crime created by very wealthy and powerful men to assist them in their sexually deviant predatory lives. And to see the vast sums of money these men will spend to first gratify their sexual needs and later to suppress that woman or girl and keep her silent and her family silent.

I feel horrible for Rose McGowan who finally saw there were real people lurking in the shadows. I know that when things became apparent to me — even in the beginning when I was told by my predator that he had indeed hired a retired police captain who he explained “was good at tracking people down” and then bragged that he paid him “$150,000.00 to find me for him” — and then later after I found the courage to leave him after eight long years and realized I was still being spied on — it was always and remains a blow through the core of my being.

It is a violation that is beyond that of the initial sexual trespass. It is a violation of the soul. A violation of the mind. A violation of your sense as an individual. And it turns your world upside down. Friends start to disappear since you can’t talk about things that to someone else sounds so absurd as to a) not be true and b) for which that other person has absolutely zero reference and therefore even if that person wanted to believe you they simply don’t have the capability of doing so.

Which then isolates you. It isolated Rose McGowan. It isolated me. It has isolated a yet unknown number of women. Throughout the decades.

The Attorney General of New York, Eric Schneiderman, has filed a civil rights lawsuit in the matter of The Weinstein Company and Harvey Weinstein’s “egregious examples of sexual misconduct.”

Having followed a long list of sexual “misconduct” cases throughout the years –like Jeffrey Epstein and the under-age sex-slave scandal known as the “Lolita Express” and “Pedophile Island” (Epstein happens to have an apartment in the same building where Riklis lives on Park Avenue in New York City) and his sweetheart deal — I am not overly optimistic about the outcome of the Harvey Weinstein case.

Where I am optimistic is in how the world is now exposed to these machinations and the outrage of women as well as marginalized people to abuses of power.

If we don’t allow ourselves to become distracted by these powerful men who will do anything including acts of violence and murder — if we stay focused on them and not the Three card Monty con games — then this story will not go away and we might have a real chance at justice.

Perhaps it will begin to erode at what I call the sex slavery mentality of men in power. I am no longer a sex slave. I envision a world where girls, boys, men and women are free from having to service those in positions of power. If we stand together. United. We can and will overcome.
