Famous professor facing 'sex contract' allegations found dead

Dr. John Forge, a 77-year-old award-winning multimillionaire philosophy professor and Oxford University graduate, was reportedly visited by a detective at his door just hours before his death, with the officer requesting that he go to the police station for questioning.

It was determined that Forge was facing allegations of sexual assault against a vulnerable woman in her 30s between 2019 and 2022.

SEX CONTRACT

Skylar Silverstein, a sex worker in Sydney, claimed that she worked for Dr. Forge for 9 months and had entered into a "sex contract" with him.

"WILL DO EVERYTHING TO MAKE DADDY HAPPY"

The details of the contract include phrases such as, "Skylar will call me Daddy and will do everything in her power to make Daddy happy. She will do this as a good, obedient girl, but above all, she will love him and try to please him as much as she can. Her love will be his greatest gift. Daddy will be able to use her body as he wishes. She has the right to say what she wants, but Daddy will make the decisions."

"THIS SITUATION MADE ME SICK"

The Sydney-based sex worker stated, "We had agreed on 10 thousand dollars a month. He took advantage of vulnerable people. This situation made me sick. His reputation was very important to him, and he was talented at hiding his true identity. He seemed charming, was academically respected in various circles, was an author, and had written many books, but underneath, there were many skeletons in his closet about to be revealed."

Dr. Forge, who was named an honorary professor at the University of Sydney in the early 2000s, focused his research on the moral responsibilities of scientists, particularly regarding the use and development of weapons.

His impressive list of higher education achievements includes studies at many prestigious institutions such as Oxford, Cornell, and University College London.

The professor's death is under investigation. (T24)
