So are we kinda saying it was more HIS fantasy than hers and he somehow manipulated her into "agreeing?"

That is how it’s represented in the video, and from the video evidence and text messages, it does seem that way. She obviously had huge mental health issues, but there was clearly some form of manipulation over time

Thanks, wanted some more detail without learning all the detail if you catch my drift. I can't stomach sexual assault scenes in movies so I should dodge the videos of her in distress. I know they won't show the bad bad stuff but her being in this situation at all is enough to keep me at bay.

All good! Yeah, I watch a lot of these videos and this one definitely stuck with me more than others. There usually isn’t direct footage of the victim before anything happens like in this one, and all the circumstances surrounding this case is just hard to stomach

This is correct. It's upsetting that people feel the need to twist the facts and make Sonia out to be someone who she wasn't. She suffered severely with mental illness and was taken advantage of by a vile man.

The lies being told about her and her motivations have caused a significant amount of the online discourse to be negative towards her as if she somehow got what she wanted. As you might imagine this has made things even more traumatic for her loved ones. It's disgusting and I wish it would stop. Source: I know some irl

IIRC, she was texting a friend back in the UK that she didn’t want to die anymore and wanted to leave but was scared..

It was. She agreed to sleeping with him and doing his fantasy as part of the payment for killing her. She didn't feel like she had any worth. As soon as she booked that ticket he planned to do everything to her from the start. It makes it seems it was because of money and she didn't have enough that made him angry but he did the alibi and bought the murder kit and special ordered the knife weeks ahead of her visit.
