By Brian Maass. I want other people to know you don't have to die from shame. Dildine told her story to CBS4 in a series of interviews. She was a teacher working in area public school systems, primarily teaching Spanish. But in , with fewer teaching hours, rising housing costs and a recent divorce that hurt her financially, she said she began searching Craigslist for part time work and decided to try bikini modeling to supplement her income.
On one modeling job, she said the client asked her if she would exchange sex for money. I liked it. It was very empowering. I had control over my life and I had options. In November of , she was contacted through the website by Sean Saxon, a Denver attorney who specialized in drug and medical device litigation. He worked at a downtown Denver law firm. Although the relationship began as an escort-client relationship, within a short time it turned romantic.
But Dildine said Saxon did not appreciate her continuing to work in the sex trade. She said he became angry and violent at times, and would threaten to expose her secret life.
He hated what I did. Dildine said the relationship with the married attorney alternated between loving and violent, with him psychologically abusing her and preying on her depression and self -esteem issues. Dildine broke off the relationship and asked Saxon to leave her alone. She says he refused, continuing to stalk her and threaten her with exposure. Eventually, Saxon followed through on his threats, sending a letter to Dildine's mother and father, brother and other relatives describing her life as a prostitute, including revealing sexual photos of her, and online reviews of her sexual services.
He sent the same packet to her classmates and teacher at a Denver aesthetician school she attended, describing her as "a mid- level prostitute. I have attached her escort profile, some of her twitter posts, and some of the on- line reviews she has received for her activities," wrote Saxon.
