A 22-year-old sex worker who spoke out in a SBS documentary about her and other sex workers taking easily available methamphetamine every night has filed a police report about the death threats she and her family are now receiving after the airing of the documentary.

Elaine Monroe who is a former meth addict filed the report at Totogo Police Station yesterday.

She says people in two vans visited her brother in Nadi on Thursday and threatened to visit more if they went to the Police.

Police Spokesperson Ana Naisoro says the report has been referred to Nadi because the report is about threats made against one of the complainant’s family members in Nadi.

Monroe had also confirmed that she and other prostitutes always injected methamphetamine every night at the short cut from Rewa Street to Dhanji Street in Samabula, the same short cut used by primary and high school students from a nearby school in the day.

She says the used syringes and empty packets are always just thrown there.
