Kovalchuk claims her ordeal began in March after missing a flight to Thailand. She accepted an invitation from a young Russian man who promised her luxury travel and introduced her to one of these parties.
Maria Kovalchuk’s Harrowing Experience
In an interview with Russian outlet Ostorozhno, Novosti, Kovalchuk revealed chilling details of her night.
“They started intimidating me, smashing glass. After that, they took my personal belongings, which included my passport,” she said. “One of the girls even put on my things and just left in them… no one heard me.”
She claims she was mocked for refusing to drink, pressured into sexual acts, and physically restrained when she tried to leave. According to her account, she was later beaten and possibly thrown from a height, sustaining severe injuries that left her unable to walk without assistance.
“I think that maybe I was thrown. Or it was a beating. One of two options. Most likely, there was a blow to the head. The next scene I remember is me asking for help from a passing car, which called an ambulance and the police.”
