Kingston Crown Court heard last week that Daniel Fuller, 25, claimed he was a
victim of a plot against him by shady brothel owners who control the sex trade
across the south London suburbs.
Defending, James Eaton said they had tired of Fuller trying to track down and
save the girl. "We suggest there is an orchestration by the people who control
and run the brothels in your area because Fuller's been making a nuisance of
himself, looking for somebody he believed had been forced into prostitution,"
he said.
He named people called Costas, George and Zefer involved in the plot, but a
receptionist at a Wimbledon brothel, where Mr Fuller is accused of robbing
prostitutes, denied knowing anyone with these names.
Another receptionist, this time for a brothel in Surbiton, was asked about a
phone call from Fuller which she claims was to book an appointment.
Mr Eaton alleged his client was actually trying to find out if the Asian girl
was there.
He said: "He was making enquiries about an Asian girl that he believed had been
coerced into acting as a working girl."
This was denied by the Surbiton receptionist, who had earlier cried while
describing the robbery.
She told the court about how, as soon as he came in, Mr Fuller had a telephone
conversation and said he had to leave, before threatening her with a hammer.
Crying in the witness stand she said: "He put it towards my head. I was
trembling and crying. I had a bad back so I told him I wasn't well. I just
wanted him to get out."
