The Sussex Newspaper - Great news for a great county!

A woman who led a double life working as a secretary in the Cabinet Office by day and as a high class escort by night has written a no-holds-barred book about her life.

Anne Waggott’s double identity came to a horrific end after she was the victim of an attempted murder by former builder Victor Farrant.  At the time she was known as Anne Fidler.  In  1998 Victor Farrant was jailed for life for the attack on Anne and the murder of another woman, Glenda Hoskins, 45, a mother of three.

During his sentencing,  Mr Justice Butterfield told Victor Farrant his attack on Anne Waggott was "one of unparalleled ferocity".  Anne, who used to work in the office of the former Tory minister William Waldegrave, was attacked so savagely that, for several years,  she had no memory of the incident.

Farrant smashed her around the head with three wine bottles and an iron, "reducing her to a bloodied unrecognisable heap", according to the judge. She nearly died from her injuries.

Six weeks after the attack on Anne Farrant murdered his former girlfriend, Mrs Hoskins, an accountant, at her home in Portsmouth. She died of asphyxiation, and the prosecution suggested that he held her under water in the bath after demanding sex.

Mrs Hoskins' daughter, Katie, then 15, had found her mother's corpse wrapped in carpet in the loft of her home.

In her book, Survivor, Anne,  who now lives on the Isle of Wight,  tells how she has overcome disabilities arising the from the attack and has started a new life.
