Actress Frida Farrell who was kidnapped and held as SEX SLAVE in Harley Street flat making movie of her ordeal
The terrified actress was raped by up to five men after a photographer held her captive in his fifth floor luxury flat
A BRAVE actress held as a sex slave in a luxury Harley Street flat for three days is reliving the nightmare in a new movie.
Frida Farrell was looking for acting work in London when she was stopped in the street by a photographer called Peter.
The then 22-year-old found out the man was doing casting for a holiday brochure and wanted her involved, so Frida naively agreed to meet with him after checking his website.
But after going to Peter's Harley Street flat for a second time, she was locked in and held at knifepoint.
The terrified actress, now 36, was held as a sex slave for three days as different men were brought in by Peter to repeatedly rape her.
She finally managed to escape when her captor left the door to the flat unlocked.
Brave Frida is now reliving the nightmare ordeal for an award-winning film called Selling Isobel.
She wrote the movie with British screenwriter Glynn Turner and says she found the process "therapeutic".
Swedish Frida, who also stars in the film in a harrowing performance, said: "Sometimes I lie in bed and I think, 'Why, why, why were you so stupid?
'"'There must be some sign that you saw.' I still get angry. I still blame myself [for walking into the flat] because I still had a choice there."

The actress didn't tell anyone involved with the project except the director that the film was about what had happened to her because she couldn't face the cast and crew's pity.
Even her own dad only found out about his daughter's hell at the premiere, according to .
The ordeal started in 2002 when Frida was in H&M on Oxford Street. She had called her doctor boyfriend to tell him she was going to walk home through Regent's Park because it was a sunny day.
The stunning actress was then approached by a man in a grey suit who said his name was Peter and that he was casting for a project and wanted Frida involved.
Frida said: "It happened to me in Paris, in Milan, in New York. It happened everywhere."
But she still was flattered and liked the funny, friendly and "very, very typically English" man in his 50s.
He just handed Farrell a card, told her that the project was a shoot for Harley-Davidson and said to "come by if you want to".
At home that night she checked the link on his card and "it was a proper website". Her boyfriend said it was probably OK. So she called Peter and agreed to come over the next day.
Frida went to the fifth-floor Harley Street flat and was happy to see a "very fancy" set up with snacks and a female assistant helping out with the lights.
Peter took some test shots and phoned her the next day saying the clients loved her and wanted to book her for another shoot.
Frida made her way back to the flat the next day, but this time there was no assistant and no coffee or snacks - just Peter who locked the door behind her and pocketed the key.
He pulled a knife on the terrified actress, who asked if she could use the toilet.
Holding his knife by his side he told her to leave her bag and her phone behind then let her go to the bathroom. "He was very calm, but he wasn't friendly any more", Frida said.
She climbed up to the small window in the bathroom to see if she could escape but it was five storeys high and she would have landed straight in a concrete yard.
She was ordered to put on used underwear and given some milk to drink.
Petrified she'd be stabbed if she voiced concern, Frida changed into a white lingerie set.
She was ordered to pose for more shots where she began to cry.
Frida said: "Peter said, 'Come over here.' He had me kneel down, and he opens his pants, and ... you can imagine."
The actress passed out and woke in a different flat still wearing the bra but not the knickers. She was held captive for three days while "about four or five guys" were taken in to have sex with her.
Frida finally managed to escape when she realised Peter had left the front door unlocked. She fled to a pal's house where she called the police.
The only part of the film which is made up is the ending. Frida said: "We changed the ending to make it a bit more entertaining and dramatic. I beat him up, run off, but then he's never found.
"That would have been amazing."
