Top Model arrested for running "Sex Training Course"
Shares
PATTAYA (THAILAND): A Belarusian model who sensationally claimed she had proof of Russian efforts to help Donald Trump win office appeared in court Tuesday for the expected start of her trial over running a “sex training course” in Thailand.
Anastasia Vashukevich, known by her pen name Nastya Rybka, has been held in custody since a police raid in the sleazy seaside resort of Pattaya last February.
Vashukevich looked sombre as she arrived at the court alongside her seven co-defendants, who are on trial for multiple charges including soliciting sex.

She had travelled to Thailand after becoming embroiled in a political scandal with Russian aluminium tycoon Oleg Deripaska, a one-time associate of US President Trump’s disgraced former campaign director Paul Manafort.
In a peculiar tale she set off a scramble for details after promising to reveal “missing puzzle pieces” on claims the Kremlin aided Trump’s 2016 election victory.
No material has been released to substantiate her claims, which critics have dismissed as a publicity stunt.
Police alleged the risque seminar, led by self-styled Russian seduction guru Alex Kirillov, was effectively breaching Thai decency laws. -APP/AFP
