Maths prodigy who won an Oxford place at 13 is now a £130-an-hour HOOKER

Maths prodigy who won an Oxford place at 13 is now a £130-an-hour HOOKER

By Keith Gladdis
SHE was a child maths genius who won a place at Oxford University aged just 13—but now the only sums Sufiah Yusof is interested in are the ones she earns as a HOOKER.

For sad Sufiah the daily equation she has to solve is simply sex equals £130 as she sells her body to punters over the internet.

The gifted girl with the winning smile had the world at her feet ten years ago and should be a rich woman by now—but last week she was busy subtracting her underwear for our undercover reporter in her dingy back street flat.

"Would you like to start your half hour now?" said Sufiah, 23, as she danced on the bed, displaying her body for examination.

Then she listed all the sleazy plus points she would throw in for our man if he took up her offer.

Calling herself Shilpa Lee, the former child prodigy still juggles with figures on a hookers' website, describing herself as a "very pretty size 8, 32D bust and 5'5" tall—available for booking every day from 11am to 8pm."

She says she is a "sexy, smart student" who prefers "older gentlemen"— but a former pal who has witnessed her downfall told us: "It is all desperately heartbreaking.

"With her amazing brain she should be able to make money any way she wants. But instead her life has spiralled completely out of control."

Life has never quite added up for Sufiah. Her descent into prostitution in Salford, Manchester, is the latest in a long line of tragedies to have engulfed her since the sunny day when she posed with her university mortar board for the world's press outside prestigious St Hilda's College.

Our shock revelations today come in the week her domineering dad Farooq was jailed for sexually assaulting two 15-year-old girls as he home-tutored them in maths.

And he was always at the root of all her troubles— even as she passed the further maths A-Level she needed for entry to Oxford at the age of 12. In those days Sufia was a strict Muslim child who prayed five times a day and was subjected to her father's famous Accelerated Learning Technique.

Her days involved stretching and breathing exercises in freezing rooms to keep her brain attentive.

Sufiah would then study hard and be forced to play tennis with just as much intensity as fanatical Farooq drove her on. The routine was so effective Sufiah was seeded number eight in the country for under 21s.

But three years into Oxford, the 15-year-old sparked a massive police hunt after running away.
Abuse

At the time her father bizarrely claimed Sufiah had been kidnapped and brainwashed by an organisation seeking the key to her intelligence.

But Sufiah sent an email to her family describing her life under her father as a "living hell".

One message to her sister read: "I've finally had enough of 15 years of physical and emotional abuse. You know what I am talking about."

Sufiah was missing for two weeks before being found in an internet café in Bournemouth where she had been working as a hotel waitress.

She refused to go back to her parents and instead was taken into the care of social services.

It was then revealed that Farooq had been jailed for three years in 1992 for his part in a £1.5m mortgage swindle. Before that—at the age of 19—he had been sent to borstal for his role in a conspiracy involving £100,000.

Free from the spell of her father, Sufiah returned to Oxford to complete the final year of her Masters in Maths.

But she was now more concerned with enjoying herself—and failed to finish the course after meeting trainee lawyer Jonathan Marshall.

They were married in 2004 when Sufiah was just 19 and Jonathan 24. But the strains with her family were still there.

Despite being invited, Sufiah's parents and four brothers and sisters failed to turn up to the wedding.

Her dreams of a happy life with Jonathan were shattered when the couple divorced just a year later.JAIL: Dad Farooq given 18 months

Now, in her sad little flat, she uses her body to pay the rent. Sufiah met our man, posing as a punter, at the entrance to her building wearing a tiny skirt, leather boots and a tight t-shirt. She was carrying three mobile phones.

She laughed and joked as she led him to her small apartment where a bed was already set out in the lounge.

She told him it was £130 an hour and offered him a glass of water before putting some music on to a cheap portable stereo and nervously stripping down to her red lace bra and knickers.

Sufiah then peeled off her underwear and danced on the bed. She told him she did full sex with a condom and oral sex without protection.

After our man had made his excuses, Sufiah kept him talking by telling him how she was studying for a Masters degree in Economics on a part-time two year course in London.

The former prodigy added: "I've got exams coming up and I'm thinking ‘Oh my God!'"

Once described by her parents as "naïve and unstreetwise", she works alone from her flat without any obvious physical security or protection.

She even admitted to our reporter: "It's always a surprise who you are going to meet."

Cheerful Sufiah gave no indication of any sadness at the jailing of her father the previous day. On Wednesday Farooq, 50, was sentenced to 18 months at Coventry Crown Court for touching two 15-year-old girls when he was home tutoring them at maths.

SITE ANSWER: She sells sex on website

The court heard how in May last year Farooq arrived at one of the victim's home for a maths lesson.

He started whispering in her ear and kissing her hair and cheek. He also touched her breast and told her she was a genius and pretty before putting her hand on his upper thigh.
Destroyed

Farooq's defence lawyer Tim Hannam said: "He's been back in prison for over five months and knows there'll be no more teaching and any hope he had of gaining an income from the teaching method he had developed to a high degree of success is lost to him. His reputation is destroyed."

Now it's clear the daughter who fled his strict regime has almost been destroyed too.

Her friend said last night: "Sufiah has suffered so many knocks in her life. I just hope she can drag herself out this life she has got herself into.

"She is a good person and deserves a much better life than this. Her gift really has been a curse."

佛山狂徒搶嬰 港人心驚

(星島) 03月 25日 星期二 05:30AM

(星島日報 報道)廣東佛山發生駭人聽聞入屋搶嬰案，一個販賣人口犯罪集團，闖入多港人聚居南海區一個住宅，綁起逾七十歲祖母，搶走未足八個月大男嬰，隨即販賣到外省 賺取三萬八千元人民幣。南海警方穿州過省追蹤擒獲七名疑犯，救出男嬰送回家與父母團聚。港人家庭對搶嬰案大感震驚，擔心留子女在家都不安全，希望當地警方 加強巡查。

　　合浦還珠男嬰姓黃，家人叫「新仔」，未足八個月大；護孫慘遭毆傷祖母姓曾，已七十多歲，經治療後康復。

　　拘七疑犯 尋回被搶嬰兒

　　佛山南海警方稱，案發在南海區獅山一個租住單位，有一家七口，事發本月十四日早上九時許，家中只有姓曾祖母在屋內餵「新仔」吃早餐，沒有關鐵閘，兩匪徒趁機衝入屋內，將曾婆婆捆綁，蒙其口和眼，並拳打腳踢，然後搶走「新仔」。

　　警方調查發現男嬰夫婦均在一間工廠打工，生活簡單節儉，判斷是販賣嬰兒案。負責搶嬰案的專案小組鎖定一個販賣人口集團，並鎖定目標匪徒，在本月廿日開始兵分多路，拘捕七名疑犯。

　　據被捕者供稱，匪徒不認識事主一家，只是到獅山一帶尋找目標下手，搶走「新仔」後，即時帶到外省「賣嬰」，賣得三萬八千元人民幣。專案小組昨日趕到外省救出「新仔」，已送交家人團聚。

　　去年廣東的東莞、深圳 、汕頭、梅州等地發生多宗拐賣兒童案，令人心惶惶，居住南海區的港人家庭，擔心留在家中的子女人身安全，希望警方加強巡查，收阻嚇作用。本報記者

飯店在小便池用尿養錦鯉惹爭議

東亞經貿新聞3月24日報道 飯店小便池竟然養著近20條錦鯉，昨日記者就見到了這個特殊的水族箱，雖然大多數顧客都感到新奇，可是專家卻並不提倡這種養魚方式，認為這是對我國魚文化的不尊重。

廁所養錦鯉 掛牌“放心方便”

小便池內養鯉魚的飯店位於同志街和錦水路交會處附近，飯店的裝飾並沒有格外特別的地方，可是男衛生間卻讓進來方便的顧客連連稱奇。

像很多公共衛生間一樣，這家飯店的男衛生間有一個小便池，長約4米，深約0.5米，小便池用透明玻璃圍起來，池中水深約0.3米。令人驚奇的是，池中養著近20條錦鯉。小便池上方墻壁上貼著一塊牌子，牌子上寫明“請放心在此方便”，如果不是這塊提示牌，恐怕大多數顧客都會把小便池當成一個特殊的魚缸。

顧客感覺稀奇 還想故意“方便”

面對這個養魚的小便池，大多數顧客的感覺都是兩個字：新鮮！有的顧客甚至表示離開飯店時還要特意去方便一下。

顧客王先生說，第一次進入這個衛生間時，還以為是個魚缸，知道是小便池後，以為中間有玻璃隔開，沒想到能在這裡養魚。王先生的朋友還特意用池邊的網試了試，確認沒有隔開後才相信。

顧客孫先生覺得，這樣特殊的設置令上廁所變得好玩：“本來喝啤酒就容易上廁所，這下去得更勤了，一會埋單之後還要再去一次。”除了新奇之外，有顧客擔心這樣會使錦鯉死掉，也有人覺得魚類會吃水中的糞便，這樣反而有利於魚的生長。

尿養魚學自大連 只為圖新鮮

昨日下午，飯店老闆的朋友鄭先生表示，他們從大連來長春開店，已經經營了約3個月時間。

這個設計是跟大連一些飯店學的，鄭先生說大連很多飯店都有這樣的設置，當初他的朋友來長春開店，發現長春沒有，於是大家一商量，就把小便池設計成這樣，也沒有別的想法，就是圖個新鮮。

據鄭先生介紹，這家飯店有兩批魚，每天至少換兩次水並加氧，這兩批魚也輪流放進小便池。“魚放在裏面沒什麼問題，水都是迴圈的，這幾個月也沒有魚死掉。”鄭先生覺得把魚養在小便池裏和養在魚缸裏沒什麼區別。

專家認為這是對魚文化不尊重

長春一位水產專家說，尿液既是肥料也是污染物，因為尿液中含有尿素、亞硝酸鹽等成分，不利於魚類的生長。對於養魚的水質，我國有相應的標準，如果單純地把魚養在小便池內，可能會導致魚生病或者死亡。錦鯉並不單純是觀賞魚，也可以食用，儘管飯店不會出售這些錦鯉，但是可能引起顧客反感，這樣的養魚方式雖然新鮮，但確實不太合適。

“養觀賞魚在我國已經形成一種高雅的文化，錦鯉在魚文化中又有著重要的地位，把錦鯉養在小便池中，是對我國魚文化的不尊重。”這位專家稱。 (本文來源：東亞經貿新聞 作者：王陽)
