A Dunedin escort working in a Dunedin brothel was spat at by a man. The man claimed it was because of a build-up of saliva in his mouth. He had spat at her genitalia. The escort ordered the man out and called the police. The Dunedin escort was off work for three weeks in case of infection.
The client was sentenced to 80 hours of community work and was ordered to pay the escort $3000 (about £1500)
