Zaharia Dehar, the prostitute who allegedly slept with Bayern Munich and France star Franck Ribery and two other international footballers when she was 17, has broken her silence.
The now 18-year-old claims that Ribery, along with the other two players - Karim Benzema and Sidney Govou - treated her "with utter respect" and deserve to be left alone.
She was also "shocked" that the players could be facing fines and three years in jail for what they had done.
Prostitution is legal in France but its practitioners need to be over the age of 18.
Miss Dehar was one of 18 girls questioned by officers during a police raid on the Café Zaman, a nightclub on the Champs Elysee, last week.
She reportedly informed vice squad officers that she had had sex sessions with the players that cost them £2,000 a night.
Ribery, 27, is a Muslim who converted to Islam to marry his French-Algerian wife Wahabia. They have two daughters.
The judge in Paris, Monsieur Andre Dando, is yet to decide whether or not to prosecute Ribery, but it apparently remains a strong possibility.
It has been reported that Ribery has admitted having a relationship that lasted several months with the girl, but he denies knowing that she was under-age.
