 Synopsis: Certainly not based on a true story, a supermodel is arrested on
her way to a job.  This story tells what she must endure in order to return
to Denmark.

   1.  On the flight

   Ann August is model and has been one for 5 years.  Her height was 179 cm
and she was weighing 48 kg.  She came from a poor fisherman family in
Jutland but was discovered by a photographer in Copenhagen on a family
holiday when she was 16.  She was success almost at once and now her friend
called her "Lucky Ann".  She worked all over the world but did not forget
her upbringing and whenever she had a few days off work she returned to her
hometown.

   She had just received a new assignment where she was going to pose in
summer clothes for a purse company.  It is different job considering that
she normally posed in fur coat.  But animal activists have bothered her a
lot in the recent year and now it is time for her to lay low regarding her
being portrayed in fur coats.  A few years ago, she was even sprayed in her
face in Paris with tear gas.

   Ann is a busy girl and she has worked around the world.  She has no
boyfriend and even tough she often is written about as a party girl in the
newspapers, it is actually very rare she was in town.  She did literally
living just with work and sleep.

   Now she was on her way to a beach in Malaysia where she is going to have
a few days off before returning to Denmark.  She was flying with MartyAir -
a low price company because SAS didn't have a direct route to Malaysia from
Copenhagen.

   After some talking over the phone in the plain with her agent in
Copenhagen, she went to sleep.  She always uses her blindfolds, because she
needed dark to sleep.

   Suddenly she felt someone moving very close to her face.  She panicked
and immediately pushed whomever away before she took her blindfolds off and
discovered that it was the flight attendant trying to adjust her chair.

   "Relax madam" he said a little angry.  She hold her hand in a way to
signal "I am sorry" and went back to sleep.

   2.  Arrival in Malaysia

   Ann was sleeping when the flight landed.  She had worked 9 hours before
flight.  Suddenly she was pulled up from her chair still with the
blindfolds on.  Two police officers were standing in front of her.

   "You are under arrest!" Ann was confused and sleepy.  Her arm was yanked
behind her and she turned in order to release the pain.  "Resisting arrest.
Cuff her".  Ann was now panicking and shouting.  One of the officers lifted
her up and forced her down the floor on her stomach.

   He produced a pair of handcuff and cuffed her hands on her back. 
"Aaaugh." She screamed.  She was then pulled up on her feet again.  They
took her under her shoulders and carried her off the plane.

   When they came to the airport building she was taken to a cell.  Inside
they released her from her handcuffs and left her.  She was banging on the
door demanding an explanation of why she was arrested.  After a while she
calmed down.  It was of no use.  "What have I done?  Why am I arrested?"
She was questioning herself.  Ironically she also thought about the film
crew waiting without her having a chance to inform them of why she would be
late.

   After a while - it felt like hours but it turns out to be only 15
minutes the door opened and an officer was entering the cell.  "Why am I
arrested?" The Officer replied, "I am here to inform you that you are
charged with battery against the flight crew and resisting arrest.  We are
also suspecting you of abusing drugs due to your erratic behavior."

   "But that is not true.  I have not beaten anyone." "Your actions are
speaking for themselves.  You were resisting our officers and shouting in
the plane.  We are going to perform a drug test, which would be taken as
evidence of your abuse.  Get ready to be transported."

   Two female officers came inside the cell and the officer went outside in
the hall.  "I am going to wait here while the officers prepare you for your
trip to the hospital." He closed the door.  "Undress madam.  We have fresh
clothes here.  You have been sweating in your old clothes and some parts
are tore due to the violent arrest you have called for.  All the clothes
including the underwear - please."

   Ann was not going to take a chance of going against these people.  They
meant business.  She took all her clothes of.

   The officers gave her fresh underwear and then an orange boiler suit. 
"We are not going to risk a fight during the drive just because you are on
drugs.  We have to put you in restraints." First they took out a wide
leather belt, which are closed on her back.  D-rings were attached in the
front.  A pair of leather cuffs was put on her wrist and they were
connected to the belt.  One of the guards put a restraint harness over and
under the shoulders.  Then they connected the restraint to the belt by the
use of a leather strap.

   "Madam.  I am going to secure the restraint on your back.  I have to
make it tight just so you don't get surprise if it hurts a bit." She pulled
and Ann grunted.  It was very tight.  Finally they put a second pair of
leather cuffs on her upper arms and connected them to the restraints
harness on her back.  She could not move an inch.

   "Comfy?  It is actually the same kind of restraints we are using when we
hang people.  If it is going to be your destiny, the drug test will tell.
Excuse us.  We are going to finish your restraints."

   She took two leather cuffs and put them on her feet.  They connected
them using a short chain.  "Now you are ready.  Be careful when you walk.
Only take small steps." The officer, who had waited outside all the time
came in.  "Follow me."

   She was taken down the hall and into a truck, which waited outside the
airport building.  After a short drive they came to a hospital where a
nurse was waiting for them.  In the examination room they told her to lie
down on a bed and then the nurse took a blood sample.

   The nurse turned to the officers.  "She is an European and your cell are
very hot.  She could need a drop so she would not dry out." A needle was
put in her arm and fluid was beginning to enter her body.  The guards took
three wide leather straps and strapped her to the bed.  She could not move.
The nurse took out a syringe and stuck it in the drip.  "What are you
doing?" Ann was confused.  "Because you are upset and obvious under
influence of some kind of drug as told to me by the officers I am going to
give you some anti-drug to relax you." "But, I have not used .........". 
Ann went black at once.  The last thing she heard was one of the officers
stating "Another supermodel on a rampage."

   3.  Returning to prison

   The next day she woke up feeling like she had boxed 10 rounds with the
best heavy weight champion the world had ever known - Brian Nielsen.

   The nurse and a guard came in the room.  "Sit up.  We are going to
release you from the straps so you can get something to eat."

   She sat up in the bed with a little help after the straps was removed.
It turned out that she was not able to eat by herself so a student nurse
came by and fed her.  It was humiliating being fed like a child but she
knew the consequences of protesting.  "Can I call a lawyer?" "You may call
a lawyer and the Danish embassy when we return to the prison."

   Half an hour later she was lead to the truck and driven to the central
prison.  Here she was put in a holding cell together with 2 other women. 
They were not cuffed.  "We are going to collect you in an hour so you can
get your phone-call".

   The guards went away.  She moved slowly over to a bed and sat down. 
"What have we here." One of the other prisoners went over and pushed her on
her back in the bed.  The other prisoner came forward and restraint her
legs.  "We are going to have some fun until you are going any further." The
first one said.  She took off her panties and placed her cunt on Ann mouth.
"Lick.  I am a convicted robber and I would kill you if you don't do as I
say." Ann licked as well as she was able to.  She has never licked a woman
before.  The smell from the woman cunt reminded her at her mothers work in
a fish factory.  "Ohhh.  You are good.  Continue." After 10 minutes the
woman came and the two prisoners exchanged places.  Ann's face was covered
with fluid from the first woman and it turned out that the second woman was
becoming even wetter.  When she came Ann felt in as like she was in a
shower.

   "Now you have satisfied us.  We are going to return the favor." "But,
wait you don't ..." The woman unzipped the boiler suit at the bottom and
began to use her tongue on Ann.  Warm feelings began to rise trough her
body.  It was so nice.  She moaned.  Suddenly she came.  It had been so
long.  All this work had made it impossible for her to have sex for more
than two years.  The women zipped her again and sat on another bench and
began to play cards.

   She was lying exhausted on the bed when the guard returned.  Noticing
the wet spot on her suit and her face covered with the drying fluid from
the two women, he noticed: "Enjoying yourself.  You should take your
situation more seriously.  Drug use means a severe punishment in our
country."

   He helped her to her feet and led her down to a holding cell where a
female guard freed her from all her restraints.  Ann's arms were sleeping
from all the hours in restraints and she was shaking her hands when the
guard came with a phone and plugged it in the wall.  She also had a note
where the phone numbers on all embassies in Malaysia was listed.  Ann rang
the Danish embassy and sat down on a chair after being reassured that help
was on the way.  She was actually searched for because her firm was worried
when she did not show up for the photo shooting.

   4.  First meeting with the lawyer.

   Ann sat in her cell and worried.  "What is becoming of my job?  What
would my family think?  What if the drug test is faked?"

   It had been two hours since she had the Danish embassy on the phone. 
Suddenly she heard steps in the hall.  The guard opened and two men came
in. "I am Mr.  Jensen and this is Mr.  Jones.  I am from the embassy and
Jones is a lawyer hired by your firm in Denmark.  He is rather expensive
and very good." Ann greeted the men and the sat down and talked about the
whole incident.  After Ann had told her story the lawyer summoned up.

   "If the drug test is negative because you don't use drug then we have
only one problem.  We have investigated and we have proved that the flight
attendant was in fact an animal activist in his spare time.  He had
recognized you and when you pushed him away he got in the mood of paying
you back, so he called the pilots and told them that you had slapped him in
the face.  Living in 2006 after 9/11 such charges are always taken serious.
The pilots called the police and in order to get their attention they
colored the story a little."

   "I was framed." Ann was in shock.

   "Yes, but regrettably you contributed bringing the most serious charge
against you, when you did not do as the officers said on the plane, when
they was arresting you.  Resisting arrest is considered very seriously.  It
is not like in Denmark where running away from the police is not resisting
arrest.  It does not matter if the other charges turn out to be false or
fabricated.  It is unjust but it is the law."

   "Well, I will see what I can do.  I know the judge and perhaps we can
fix it so you don't have to serve any time.  The pre-trail is tomorrow and
the result of the drug test should be known.  You will have to stay here
for tonight.  I have arranged that you would get an isolation cell so the
other prisoners don't take advantage of you." Then the men left.  A female
guard took her to her new cell where she immediately went to sleep.

   5.  Second night in prison.

   About 10 p.m.  the door opened and a guard told her to stand up.  Two of
the guards came with the leather restraints and she was soon restrained
securely.  "What is going to happen?" Ann was a kind of nervous.  "We are
going to educate you about the end of the road for drug users." "But, I am
not a drug user." "Hush.  Not a word.  Gag her." A ball-gag was stuffed in
her mouth before she could protest.

   They took her down the hall and into a chamber.  "Stand there at the
mark".  When she was positioned one of the guards linked the cuffs on her
feet together so she could not move.  The other guard came with a head
harness, which was strapped around her head.  The first guard pushed a
control panel on the wall and a hook was lowered from the ceiling.  The
D-ring at the top of the harness was connected to the hook.  "Look now we
can hoist you by remote control." He pushed the bottom and Ann was lifted
on her toes.  "You are not going be strangled.  You are here to enjoy the
show.

   The door opened and another male prisoner was lead in.  His head was
covered with a leather hood.  He was lead to another mark on the floor. 
The guard pushed another bottom and a similar hook like Ann's was lowered.
Instead of a head harness a noose was put around the prisoner's neck.  The
control panel was activated once more so the slack of the rope was pulled
up.  The prisoner was forced on his toes.  It was a cold night and Ann
could see the bag moving forth and back as the prisoner breathed heavily.
Ann waited.  What was going to happen?

   Suddenly the hatch in the floor opened and the prisoner plunged trough.
Ann got such a shock that she peed herself.  Some coughing followed from a
rasping sound was heard from the hole and the rope quivered a little.  "It
is time for your education" The guard took the remote control and used it
to pull Ann of the floor.  She hung in her head harness.

   Then he pushed the bottom so the hatch in the floor was opened.  Ann was
then lowered slowly down into the pit.  When she was just a few inches if
the ground, she was stopped.  They were not alone.  A doctor and a guard
watch for signs of life of the executed prisoner.  "13 min and 20 second to
the record.  He has passed on."

   The guard made a sign to a man at the on the top and the executed
prisoner was hoisted up.  Then the hatch was closed.

   Ann thought.  "What about me?" The doctor and the guard sat at a bench
ignoring her.  The guard had a lunch pack and he began to eat while the
doctor obviously had some forms to fill out.

   15 min.  later Ann's neck and chin was hurting because it had to carry
the weight of her entire body.  Because she had wetted herself earlier her
legs was irritated.  She was sobbing quietly and tears were running down
her chin.

   Some noise was heard from above.  It caught the attention of the two
persons in the pit and they stood up.  Suddenly the hatch flew open and
another body plunged trough the hole.  It was a woman.  Her body was
brought to a stop by the noose and it began to shiver.  Again coughing
sounds was heard from inside the hood.  The doctor approached the body and
took out his stethoscope and waited.  10 minutes later he unzip the woman's
suit and listened.  "She is not deceased yet.  I will give her a few
minutes more." Two minutes later a flow of urine began to appear below the
woman.  The doctor checked her once more.  "Now she is finished."

   Ann felt her body being pulled up by the harness.  When she was on back
in the room above the hatch, it was closed below her.  The guard released
her from the head harness and her legs was disconnect so she could walk
with small steps.  When she returned to her cell she was released from her
restraints and the bag-ball.  "You can wash in the corner.  You will find a
shower there.  What have you learned in today's class?" Still hurting in
her chin Ann could only with difficulty utter her reply: "That I would not
end up at the end of your noose because I don't use drugs." The guards left
the room shaking their heads.

   Ann took a shower.  Never had she felt so dirty.  She realized that she
never would be able to wash the events of the evening away.  So she decided
to go to sleep at last.

   6.  Day in court

   10 a.m.  the door opened and two female guards entered.  "Madam.  You
are going to court today.  Here are some fresh clothes."

   Soon she was dressed in a fresh boiler suit and her restraint was put
on. They took her to the truck and they began a drive downtown to the
courthouse.

   Well arrived she followed into a courtroom where her lawyer and the
representative from the embassy was waiting.  They hugged her.  She was not
able to return it because of her restraints.  The helped her to her seat
where they waited for the judge to appear.

   The judge entered and asked the prosecutor to present the states case.

   "First we have to regret that the primary charge of battery have been
withdrawn by the airline company.  They had made their own inquiry, which
has shown that there has been no battery.  It was just a bitter employee
and a simple head butt made by a woman which suddenly was woken from her
sleep."

   "The second charge we also would like to withdraw.  Research of the drug
test has so far not shown any sign of an illegal drug.  It is unlikely that
the test would end up being positive."

   "But she resisted arrest and that means jail time for a month.  This
charge will be upheld."

   Ann's lawyer protested: "But this charge would not have been issue if
the false charge of battery would was not introduced in the first place."

   The judge said: "I have to think about it.  I have to read about similar
cases.  This court would take a rest until 2 p.m.  Then I will rule on
whether the third charge should be upheld."

   The three of them went to a small room.  "We have a difficult case.  The
police seem not in the mood of dropping the last charge.  The airline
company has made them look like a fool.  If I know my law book, the states
will win this case.  This would mean a month in prison."

   Ann was in despair.  How could it have come to this?

   The door opened and a man came in.  "Hello.  I am Mr.  Nelson.  I am the
manager of the purse firm.  I think that you had a photo shooting to
attend. What is the problem?  We are loosing a lot of cash with a crew
without a model." The manager was brought up to date.  "It does not look
good.  Can we reach a deal with the judge?  We need Ann out to the shoot
tomorrow." "I must think" the lawyer replied.

   At 2 p.m.  they were back in the courtroom.  Soon after the judge
entered.  "First I will rule on the charge of resisting arrest.  I will
uphold the charge.  I would also like to pass a verdict today.  Will the
lawyers approach the bench?"

   Ann's attorney was first.  "Mrs.  August is needed on a photo shoot.  We
all know how much our country is depending of tourist income.  I have also
learned that Mrs.  August is quite known around the world.  Every major
newspaper and TV-stations all have the story of her arrest.  It would be a
threat to our production of computer keyboard where we are the leading
nation in the world."

   The prosecutor came with an outburst.  "But we can not just allow her to
leave.  She had committed a crime.  If we let her go, the morale of this
country would fall."

   The judge said: "Who is the new guy at her side." "It is the manager
from Denmark, whom she is working for at the present time." "Call him up
here."

   The manager approached the bench.  He was asked what kind of pictures
which they were going to take.  The judge came with a suggestion.  "I would
pass a verdict of corporal punishment but only if she accept it in advance.
Otherwise the verdict would be imprisonment of 30 days.  It is her choice."
The lawyer came back to Ann and she was told of the two choices, she could
decide between.  "What does corporal punishment mean in this country.  We
don't have something like this in Denmark." "It means blows to your buttock
by the use of a rattan cane.  It is a very severe punishment.  2 blows are
often measured with a month of prison.  We have however agreed that because
of your appearance in the advertisement, you would not be exposed to the
full force of caning.  The caning officer must keep his arm still, while he
serve you the blows and only use his wrist.  We call it Syariah whipping."

   "I would take the corporal punishment.  I am ashamed that I led my job
down.  We need to finish the photo shooting.  Inform the judge that I take
the choice of corporal punishment."

   The lawyer went back to the judge and he read the verdict.  "Mrs.  Ann
August.  You have been found guilty of resisting arrest.  You sentence is
to receive 6 blows from the rattan cane in a Syariah manner.  When you have
been punished, you have paid your debt to our society.  Take her away."

   Ann thanked the judge for a fair ruling.  When the guards came for her,
the manager asked if he and the man from the embassy could follow her to
the prison and be present while the sentence was brought on.  It was no
problem.

   When the judge came back into his office, he sat down and took a deep
breath.  It had been a difficult trail.  The totally messed-up case from
the prosecutor could have made it impossible to hand out a fair verdict,
which would have put enormous pressure on the country.  This is best for
all parts.

   7.  The sentence.

   They were followed out to the truck.  "We are going directly from the
prison to the photo shoot, so we can avoid the journalists.  There are a
lot of them just waiting for a good story.  But the police had managed to
keep your whereabouts a secret."

   They arrived at the prison and were followed to a waiting room.  Ann was
released from her restraints and told to undress.  Instead a funny kind of
clothing was produced.  "Take this on!" When she was dressed, she
discovered that it was made of some padded canvas, which covered her entire
body like a long coat.  But there was cut a square in the suit so her
buttock was fully exposed.  "How is this going to work?" "The canvas is
going to protect your kidneys and other vital organs.  The caning officer
is an expert.  Every blow would be served precisely that the same spot
would not be hit twice." They sat down and waited.

   The door was open and two guards came inside.  "Madam.  It is time for
your punishment.  Follow us." The manager took her hand and said: "We would
be right at your side to the finish." They all followed the guards to a
large hall.

   In the center of the hall there was a large A-shape frame.  Ann was led
to the frame and told to place her hands near some leather cuffs at the top
of the frame.

   Her hands were soon fastened.  Also her legs were cuffed.  A man
approached and presented himself as a doctor.  "I am going to check up on
your health after the punishment.  I have this bit-gag I would like to
offer you while the sentence is served."

   Ann took the gag.  "Place your head under this padded beam.  You don't
want to see the blows coming."

   Ann waited.  Then she heard someone moving behind her.  She was
beginning to sweat a lot and became nervous.

   "1!" Suddenly she heard swishing sound.  CRACK!!.  She peed by surprise.
After a second her bum began to sting.  "I am going to die." She tried to
say but only mumbled sounds were heard due to the gag.

   "2!" Soon after the second blow came.

   "3!" Then the third.  Her body was now shivering.  She was in some kind
of trance.

   "4!" The blow brought her back to reality.

   "5!" She could not feel her behind.  The pain was intense and all over
body.  The doctor said "Hold on.  You are almost finished."

   "6!" Her punishment was over.  She passed out.

   8.  The photo shoot

   When Ann woke she was lying on her stomach.  The doctor was applying
some kind of ointment to her behind.  It hurt so much.  Her manager took
her hand.  "Relax.  The skin is not broken in any places.  There are purple
stripes but these can handled with our computer programs."

   Ann was helped on her feet.  "It stings.  I would not be able to sit."
The guard came with a box.  "Madam.  We have a some new clothes provided by
your work, so you can be smuggled out in the laundry truck."

   Ann said goodbye to the guards and lied down on the floor in the back of
the laundry truck.  They left the prison and the truck drove outside the
town where it stopped at some point.  "We have arranged for a meeting with
one of our own cars."

   As they took their seats in the car, Ann complained as she sat in her
seat.  She has never been disciplined as a child, so she was unfamiliar
with having a sore buttock.

   Well arrived at the place for the photo shoot, she took a bath and began
to dress for the job.  "She is so professional.  When one thinks of all
these thing, she had endured, it is remarkable that she just can go on."

   Soon all the photos was in the box and Ann was told that she could have
the rest of the week off, so her sore buttock could bare the long journey
back to Denmark.  Sitting down 10 hours in the plane demanded some rest
before she could handle it.

   Ann took the whole week on her stomach before returning to Denmark. 
When she was leaving the country, she flew back on a different airplane
company.  She would never again use MartyAir.

   9.  Aftermath

   Well returned to Denmark, she discovered that a lot of work was needed
to restore her reputation.  She attended numerous TV-shows explaining the
negative drug test and false accusations of battery made against her. 
Everyone seems to compare the life of a supermodel with cocaine use.

   Eventually she gave up her career and moved back to her birth-town.  Her
story would become an example for young Danes making it an example of what
could happen to a young Dane if he/she would seek a career outside Denmark.

   In Denmark as a civilized society ones upbringing and social status does
have quite a significance of how one person is treated when some charges
are made against them.  Danish courts are fast ruling that the name of the
defendant cannot be named for legal reasons if the defendant belongs to the
upper class.  Often the entire verdict would become a secret for all time
including that the name of both victims and defendant must not be mentioned
ever in such cases.

   However in the defendant belongs to the lower classes they must endure
that their name would be dragged trough dirt during trial and often endure
prison in isolation for months making them so sick that is does not matter
if they ends up being found guilty or not.  This is the very factor, which
makes Danes work so hard and intense comparing with other countries.

   Ann learned her lesson and took up a job as a secretary in a local
factory.  She does however still model part time but only in Denmark.
