Model who was kidnapped, drugged and forced to have sex with more than EIGHT men at knife-point warns it could happen to anyone – after turning her ordeal into a film

A model who was kidnapped, drugged and forced to have sex with more than eight men at knife-point has warned it could happen to anyone - describing herself as 'just a normal girl'. 

Swedish-born Frida Farrell, now 38, was held as a sex slave in London for three days 16 years ago, following a chance encounter while walking home from Oxford Street.

She was given a business card by the man in a suit, who asked if she wanted to model for a holiday brochure.

The then-aspiring actress agreed to an audition the following day, which took place in a building on Harley Street. 

Frida - who is now a mother to a one-year-old daughter and lives in LA - was offered £7,000 for the job and asked to return to the same place the following day, when her ordeal began.

The model - who tells a story of her ordeal in film Selling Isobel - was held at knife-point, before being forced to drink a spiked glass of milk, and moved to a different location where she was forced to have sex with multiple men - she believes more than eight.    

She managed to escape after three days when her captor forgot to lock the door behind him.

Speaking to the Huffington Post, Frida said: '[A]ny woman or any girl could be kidnapped and put into this situation. Anyone is for sale, you’re just a body.

'They don’t care where you’re from or what you look like. I was just a normal girl, I was like anyone else in my class. It happened to me because I was walking home that night.'

Describing the effect it has had on her life, Frida - who now lives in LA - explained how she decided to move away from London, where her captors were.

'I used to love going out with friends, drinking wine, going to jazz bars, but it was hard for me to fit in now. What if they saw me and tried to take me away?,' she said.

Frida told the story of her horrifying ordeal in the film Selling Isobel, also called Apartment 407, which she wrote and starred in.  

The actress has previously spoken about how she felt officers didn't take her seriously when she reported her ordeal to police. 

Her mother Margareta told the Daily Mail in 2016: 'It was terrible. Frida called me just a few hours after she had fled from the apartment. She was beside herself and cried her eyes out when she told me what had happened. 

'I immediately booked a flight to London and went there straight away. To hear that your daughter has had such a horrific experience really breaks a mother's heart.

'After I had arrived in London, we went to the police, but they did not believe her story.

'The officer just kept asking her if she entered voluntarily and what she was wearing. They seemed to believe that something like that could not happen in such a posh neighbourhood.'
