Rugby man, Paul Martin to fly out to Alabama to meet woman claiming to be Sasha Grey
A Rugby warehouse worker has packed his bags and is ready to fly to America to be at the hospital bed of top former porn star Sasha Grey. Paul Martin, 52, was also ready to send £1,700 to the Californian needed to save her life. No evidence was found that Mr Martin as actually speaking to Ms Grey or that she is fighting for her life in the UAB Hospital, Madison County, Alabama, as Mr Martin, from Rugby, has been informed. They have also been unable to contact the medic who sent a message to Paul saying: “Send £1,700 or she will die.” He has been the unwitting victim of a porn scam, along with Ms Grey who has had her name used without her knowledge. Mr Martin still plans to fly to Alabama on Friday and has paid £600 for a flight. He also intended to launch a public appeal to raise cash for the life-saving medication needed to save the celebrity patient. He said: “She is very poorly, a blood disorder. Every moment counts. It’s not like the NHS. She told me she’s going to die.” Ms Grey, who retired from the adult industry a decade ago has since starred in movies and written a best-selling novel series The Juliette Theory but why she would seek out a relationship with a man from Warwickshire is not a question pondered upon by Paul. Mr Martin said: “We just seemed to connect and have a good laugh,” he said. “She was looking for a European boyfriend and I wanted something different. “Porn was her past. If you can’t forgive someone, what are you supposed to do in life? She wanted to try it, she did it and she’s now more mature. She’s trying to get on day by day.” On Friday night, the Sunday Mercuryagain urged Paul to show caution. He conceded: “Yes, it seems fishy, but I want to explore America before I die.”
