Hooker reveals how Las Vegas gunman Stephen Paddock acted out violent rape fantasies and bragged: ‘I was born bad’
A HOOKER has told how Las Vegas gunman Stephen Paddock acted out violent rape fantasies and bragged: “I was born bad.”
He boasted in text messages about his father Benjamin being a bank robber who escaped jail in 1969.
He wrote: “I didn’t have anything really to do with him but the bad streak is in my blood. I was born bad.”
The escort described him as “obsessive” and “paranoid” and said he would rant about conspiracy theories, including claiming 9/11 was an inside job by the US government.
The woman, 27, saw Paddock, 64, around nine times from November 2015 to June 2016 when he would visit Las Vegas without his girlfriend Marilou Danley, 62.
Paddock — who made £3.5million in 2015, mostly from gambling — would pay her up to £6,000 a time.
They even stayed in the Mandalay Bay, from where he was to open fire on a music festival, slaughtering 58 before killing himself.
The escort, who does not want to be named, said: “When I first met Stephen I had left an abusive relationship and was starting all over again with nothing but the clothes I was wearing.
“He seemed like he wanted to help. We would go to the casinos together and he would spend hours drinking and gambling.
“But when he would have a winning streak, we would go back and have really aggressive and violent sex.”
The Sun On Sunday was shown text messages which appeared to show Paddock discussing tying her up “as you scream for help”.
The escort broke off contact when she started a new relationship.
She said: “He had a dark and twisted side. But even so, I could never have imagined he would do something like this.”
Police are still at a loss over a motive for Paddock’s rampage a week ago.
