Mark Gray, who likened his role to the Hollywood crime franchise Charlie’s Angels, says he wanted to help Ellie Price get back on her feet before she was found dead.
says he only wanted to help a single mum get back on her feet before she was later found dead inside her apartment.
In court on Thursday, Gray was asked about his interest in a number of brothels including A Touch More Class and Liaisons in NSW. Gray also said he had wanted to purchase the Daily Planet brothel in Melbourne, as he’d worked there as the laundry boy while at university.“I wanted to buy the Bunny Ranch [brothel] in ... Nevada. Wanting to buy and buying are different things,” Gray said.
The court heard that at one point Gray’s brother, lawyer John Gdanski, purchased Harem Palace – a six-star brothel in South Melbourne – with his wife.But when his sister-in-law reneged on the plan – worried about what her friends would think and any impact on her husband Gdanski’s career – it “came back” to Gray.Gray told the court he only had a financial interest in the brothel business and rarely visited the venues he owned.
