They were also ordered to surrender their passports to the police.

They agreed to have a date, and Waldemar shared his location with the girl at Kenya medical apartment

through Google maps.

The girl told the police she met Shestavets at Waldemar’s apartment and he them drinks and food.

“When I wanted to leave, the two told me I couldn't without having sex because I had eaten their food," she said.

The report said the girl fought with the men who forcibly undressed her and were taking videos and photos of her naked body.

to the Turkish’s house.
