Dirk Prinsloo wanted Cezanne Visser, better known as Advocate Barbie, to become a porn star, the North Gauteng High Court heard on Tuesday.
”… Dirk dressed and controlled me like a little rag doll. He wanted to turn me into an international porn star,” Visser testified.
Visser was being cross-examined in her trial stemming from the alleged sexual abuse of women and children.
Prinsloo fled the country in 2006, leaving Visser in the dock to face the charges, ranging from rape and indecently assaulting young girls to soliciting children to commit indecent acts.
She has denied guilt.
Visser denied ever taking the initiative in approaching children’s homes and convincing them to leave young girls in her and Prinsloo’s care for weekends. She said it was all Prinsloo’s idea.
She admitted to finding prostitutes for Prinsloo and trying to convince women who worked for him to become involved in sexual acts and ”threesomes” with her and Prinsloo.
Visser, however, denied knowing Prinsloo had the same sexual purposes in mind for three young girls from children’s homes.
”According to me, that was not his purpose. He said I must become involved with the children. I could mean something for them and help to promote the modelling careers of two of the children,” she said.
Visser admitted pretending that she and Prinsloo were married to convince children’s homes to leave teenage girls in their care, but said it was on Prinsloo’s instructions.
She conceded that she had apologised to the first girl they took home for a weekend about the sex acts she and Prinsloo had committed in front of the child.
This was because a small part of the ”old Cezanne” that was not controlled by Prinsloo sometimes appeared briefly.
”I knew what she had to see was not right, but when it came to Dirk I never questioned his conduct or what he said,” Visser testified.
Prosecutor Andre Fourie put it to Visser that after what had happened to the first child, Visser knew the same thing would happen to the other children.
”Just as you selected prostitutes for Dirk, you also selected children for him … It was not about what you could do for the children, but how you could abuse the children for your own pleasure,” he told Visser.
She denied this, saying she had just acted on Prinsloo’s instructions because she was his ”lackey, his messenger, his slave”.
The trial continues. — Sapa
