Safety in Escorting

How safe is escorting as a job , and is there a difference in safety between high-class and lower-class escorts ?
A recent TV documentary painted a confusing picture of our industry because it didn ’ t make clear the differences between high-class and low-class working girls . The documentary narrator even said herself that she was confused by the very differing experiences of the girls interviewed on camera .
One escort interviewed was clearly low class ( no offence intended , and we are not being judgemental ). We would guess that she works outside London and charges considerably less than £ 100 per hour . The latter part of the documentary was very negative - about bad things happening to working girls .
The high-class industry is extremely different . We can honestly say that in seven years since our agency was started and , after arranging numerous jobs , nothing bad has ever happened to the girls while doing jobs for our agency . Our clients are completely different from those of lower-class working girls , because our lowest price is £ 250 per hour and , because most of our customers book ( or extend to ) more than one hour . Of course , we are not saying
The first interview , however , had painted a very different picture of escorting being “ the best job in the World ” in the words of the narrator . The low-class end of the business attracts the worst kind of customers and therefore violence and rapes are common . The documentary also focussed on psychological damage done to girls . Independent escorts are also more vulnerable because nobody knows where they are - an agency is not looking out for their safety - and bad clients know this .
