Two women flee alleged ‘house of terror’ in Brisbane: Partygoer, 26, charged with ‘detaining’ pair he brought home from a strip club late at night – as details emerge about what allegedly occurred inside his flat
EXCLUSIVE
A young man brought two women home from a strip club, then held them captive and tortured them before they managed to flee, police allege.
Dumitru Sebastian Erimescu, 26, met two women at the Love & Rockets strip club in Fortitude Valley at around 11.45pm on Saturday, October 14.
However, what was meant to be a fun evening of drinks and good times is said to have taken a turn for the worse when Erimescu took the couple to his two-bedroom apartment in a newly built apartment building in Chermside, in Brisbane’s northern suburbs.
Queensland Police allege Erimsecu prevented the women from leaving the unit and assaulted them both multiple times.

The pair eventually managed to escape, police said, and then sought medical attention.
Erimescu was charged with eight counts of assault causing bodily harm, two counts of deprivation of liberty, torture and two counts of common assault.
He tried to shield his face when Daily Mail Australia approached him outside the Brisbane Magistrate’s Court on Monday morning.
The magistrate ordered the defense and prosecution to have the evidence ready by December 4.
Erimescu’s bail conditions require him to live in the same $470,000 flat where he allegedly tortured his victims. He also had to surrender his passport.
Love & Rockets managers declined to comment when contacted by Daily Mail Australia.

Strip club baron Anthony Shead, owner of that business and several others, told Daily Mail Australia he was on holiday and was unaware of the ordeal.
When asked if he wanted to know the details, he replied, “Not really.”
Love & Rockets bills itself as Brisbane’s “best” strip club with “the hottest strippers and lap dancers in the city in our adult clubs”, according to its website.
It is located in Fortitude Valley, a hotspot for strip clubs.
Erimescu’s case will go to trial on December 18.
