Three years ago Fred Allen* was a taxi driver working 12-hour shifts to make ends meet.
Today, he is a gun for hire, having received tens of thousands of dollars from Sydney's metropolitan councils in exchange for crucial evidence that is presented in court to help expose and close underground parlours. In short, Mr Allen has paid sex with prostitutes and ratepayers foot the bill.
"Never in a million years would I have imagined a job like this existed, let alone me doing it," the 60-year-old said, with a hint of a smirk. "It's a strange world for sure."
When Sydney-based Lyonswood Investigations advertised for a "brothel buster investigator" in 2011, it was inundated with resumes from as far afield as Finland.
But while all applicants were willing to engage in paid, undercover sex, the agency's managing director Lachlan Jarvis confirmed Fred was the only suitable candidate for the niche role. "He had his private investigator's license, his oral and written English was excellent, he was willing to appear in court if needed ... and he was single." Full story...
