Introduction to Video Content

The video titled 'Infamous sex worker reveals dark secrets from Kings Cross' heyday | 60 Minutes Australia' sheds light on the intriguing life of Kim Hollingsworth, a former sex worker turned police officer, who went undercover to expose corruption in Sydney's infamous vice strip, The Golden Mile. Kim's journey began as a prostitute in King's Cross, where she experienced the fast-paced and exhilarating lifestyle of the late eighties, filled with sex, drugs, and strife. Although it was a dangerous and demanding profession, Kim had a large client base and made substantial money during this era. However, the police force in Kings Cross was deeply corrupt, turning a blind eye to illegal activities such as drugs, gambling, and brothels, as long as they received their share of the profits. Kim's experience in the sex industry and her desire to bring justice led her to pursue a career in law enforcement. She fulfilled her lifelong ambition of becoming a police officer and eventually went undercover, exposing the criminals on both sides of the thin blue line. This brave act not only cost her career but also put her life at risk. Recently, Kim and the sordid era of Kings Cross have gained renewed attention with the release of the latest installment of the television series 'Underbelly.' Despite the judgment and scrutiny that comes with having her life portrayed on screen, Kim surprisingly remains comfortable with her story being shared with the public. It is a remarkable journey of a woman who has experienced both extremes of society, from the dark underbelly of the sex industry to the law enforcement fighting against it. This article will delve deeper into Kim Hollingsworth's life, exploring the challenges she faced, the impact of her undercover work, and the legacy she has left behind in the world of vice and crime in Kings Cross.

Subtitles section

Not so long ago, it was hard to tell the cops from the crims on Sydney's notorious vice strip, The Golden Mile.

Well, the woman you're about to meet was both.

Kim Hollingsworth started out as a King's Cross prostitute before fulfilling a lifelong ambition to become a police officer.

Then she went undercover, exposing the bad guys on both sides of the thin blue line.

It cost her career, and it could have claimed her life as well.

Now, with the latest instalment of Underbelly, Kim and that whole sordid era are back in the spotlight.

And as I discovered, she's surprisingly comfortable with having her life up on the screen for everyone to watch and judge.

I kept a telly of how many people I'd seen and I was going, oh my God, I'm up to one hundred now.

And that was really disturbing for me because I just couldn't believe it was happening.

How many men do you think you've slept with?

Oh, gosh.

Well, if there were a hundred within a very short space of time, I mean, it must be a matter of thousands.

Thousands of men, thousands of dollars.

Kim was a prostitute in demand.

It was the late eighties and whatever you wanted, sex, drugs or strife, you'd find it in King's Cross.

Prostitution is a fast paced lifestyle.

The excitement is always go, go, go, go, go.

And we would run ourselves into the ground, you know.

to the point where you had to try and keep your eyes open to keep performing.

So business was pretty good, I guess.

Business was booming.

And business was booming for the notorious Kings Cross Police.

Corruption was right.

The local detectives only had to look out of their window from the cop shop here in the heart of the cross to see it all.

Drugs, gambling, brothels.

But the boys in blue turned a blind eye as long as they got their piece of the action.

They ruled the cross.

They ruled the cross, definitely.

They ruled the street girls on the cross.

But there's a remarkable twist in Kim's tale.

In spite of all the corruption and dodgy cops she experienced firsthand, believe it or not, she quit prostitution and joined the police force.

And it wouldn't be long before Kim was working undercover as a police whistleblower.

I recorded corruption.

I did the right thing.

I didn't survive.

But those who did the wrong thing, a lot of them are still there.

With such a colourful true life tale to tell, it's not surprising that Kim is now a central character in the television series, Underbell.

Your name, your image is famous again.

Yep.

Notorious again.

Notorious, infamous.

You comfortable with that?

I might be comfortable with it.

I don't think the police are because they felt that their past shouldn't be brought up and thrown in their faces.

You don't mind seeing yourself portrayed on TV.

The public have a right to know that this happened.

And I hope they watch closely because they will see what it was like in New South Wales Police.

And it all happened.

It all happened.

This was the era when King's Cross flourished as a breeding ground of crime, corruption and charismatic identities.

In those days, it was men like George Freeman and Lenny Macpherson who ruled.

And a new arrival was on the scene, John Ibrahim, who went on to become today's King of the Cross.

I mean, you would have seen it all.

Yeah, I saw it all, okay.

Yeah, just the fights, the blood.

There was always blood.

Blood spattered everywhere.

It's fifteen years since Kim was last in the cross, and tonight, she's taking us back to where it all began, showing us the real underbelly.

Oh my god!

How are you doing?

Oh my god!

Can I introduce you or no?

It's a trip down memory lane and some of the old faces are still around.

I used to work for Roger.

Come here.

I used to work for Roger and loved Old Boss.

Even after all this time, the doors to these brothels are still open to Kim, for a guided tour at least.

Back in the day, Kim was the star in here.

Room one at the love machine was hers.

After you finished the job, you'd have to make the bed look as though nobody had been on it.

So you would straighten the sheets up.

A bit of housekeeping.

A bit of housekeeping, fluff the pillows.

I still remember how to do the towels.

Like this.

You gotta fan it out.

So the bed looks all fresh.

Now you wouldn't know it but this was a girl who grew up a self confessed nerd.

The daughter of a country police sergeant.

When Kim first came to the cross she had dreams of following in her father's footsteps and joining the police force.

She was twenty, in love and very naive.

How did life change so radically for you?

The first boyfriend, yeah.

I walked in on him in a motel room in Kings Cross and there were two girls there, a blonde and a brunette, and they were prostitutes and he paid them to make him happy.

The cheating boyfriend got mad.

Kim, I wouldn't do any of this with the other women if you were such a daft bloody rude.

Kim got even.

Right, that's it.

Come with us.

Alone, broke and desperate, this was Kim's turning point.

I went, in a matter of months, from a virgin to a prostitute.

I remember knocking on the first client's door and thinking, if I knock and go into this motel room, I'm going to come out a prostitute.

Nothing much has changed.

No.

The Babs.

The Babs shot.

It wasn't long before Kim had a new recruit.

Hey!

Life was so good, Kim's little sister Melissa was also seduced by the game.

The bad guys still like us.

We actually got food jobs and then we dumped our boyfriends who were nasty to us.

We came to Kings Cross and started making some good money.

Not sorry about dumping the boyfriends.

They're long gone.

Not sorry about the boob job?

No!

Not sorry about the dumb boyfriends?

No!

They didn't get any benefit.

Where are we here?

This is one sixty nine Victoria Street Kings Cross which is the Golden Apple.

Take me down, I'll follow you.

Okay.

It was at this famous brothel, the Golden Apple, where Kim and Melissa first came into contact with corrupt police in Kings Cross.

Local cops unashamedly enjoying all the perks that their job had to offer.

Nice were enough that went on here.

And yeah, it was a load of guns on the ground, just carelessly tossed aside because they were

busting to get into the spa and relax.

And the police certainly knew how to have a good time.

Kim was soon recruited as their number one crowd pleaser, stripping at more than thirty private police functions that they like to call fundraisers, often in front of three hundred officers.

If you don't mind, could I ask some detail?

Was it just a strip show?

Oh, no.

No, no, no.

No, I mean, if it were just a strip show, I don't think they would have hired us, you know?

They wanted the goods afterwards.

They wanted dessert.

But for all that repulsed her about her clients, ironically, at this time, Kim was desperately trying to get into the police academy.

Why, after everything you'd been through with them, you still wanted to be one of them?

Yeah, I wanted to be a good one.

I mean, I guess I had good role models as a child, in that I saw good police, like my father and... You didn't think they were all bad?

No, I didn't think they were all bad.

Her dream came true in the year of her birth, when she was accepted into the Police Academy.

This is Kim when we first met her on Sixty Minutes, proud to wear the blue uniform.

I couldn't believe it.

I was so excited.

I just went, yes, finally my life is going to be what I planned it to be.

How long did that happiness last?

Short lived happiness because the students and the senior police instructors there would make indecent approaches towards me.

to try and keep me in prostitution.

So life in the academy was a bit like life in the brothel.

It was worse.

Kim joined the New South Wales force at its most tumultuous time in history.

The Wood Royal Commission was blowing police corruption wide open.

King's Cross detective, Chuck Fowler, had just been exposed in a sting by an equally corrupt cop, Trevor Haken.

Before long, Kim was also recruited by the Commission to nail a bent detective on the take from brothels.

She named twenty cops linked to the sex industry.

Two months later, she was sacked.

I was sacked before the ones I blew the whistle on.

I don't think the police wanted to give a prostitute credit for naming corrupt police.

So you went from prostitute to trainee police officer, whistleblower, undercover agent.

Then where'd you end up?

Supposedly witness protection, which was a farce.

It was a joke.

What did you end up doing?

The Royal Commission officer told me which brothel to go to work in.

And you did?

I had to.

I had no money.

For ten long years, she was in and out of court, challenging the force to get her job back.

It took a huge toll.

Kim slid into depression, and her appearances at court became increasingly bizarre, often turning up with her pet rat.

I wasn't happy at all.

I was morbid, depressed, crying all the time, nightmares, huge nightmares.

That's a voice.

You have to make it carry.

You couldn't get much further from King's Cross, an isolated bush block that's now Kim's backyard.

It's amazing.

It's a stampede.

Stampede!

They never hit me though.

They know who feeds them.

Today at forty three, Kim lives a quiet rural life.

Have you got a kiss cookie?

Oh, a better kiss, please.

No partner, no children, but certainly not lonely.

Oh, beautiful.

Life has changed, Kim.

Yeah, hot and sweaty in a different way now.

Only you can say that.

But you're right.

Yeah, it's true.

Yeah.

Kim's trust and love these days is saved for her animals, and she has no shortage of furry friends.

Not entirely comfortable with this.

I think she likes you.

Let her go up in there.

No.

On your head.

No, no, no, no.

She can make a little nest up there.

She'll be really comfy.

Just let her sit there and enjoy herself.

Kim, get your rat off my head.

Don't worry about it, Michael.

She's happy up there.

We're going to make her happy.

Few people have seen as much or lived as much as Kim Hollingsworth.

She makes no apologies for being a prostitute, never has done, but she does regret not becoming a cop.

What have you learnt?

I have learnt to believe what goes on behind my back, more so than what is said to my face.

I have learnt to stand up for myself and to demand a type of respect.

If you had the chance,

and you could pull on the blue uniform and serve in the police force, would you?

The reality is that may never occur because I'm up against a huge blue wall.

And I've been banging my head against that for years.

And you know what, you can crack it, but I don't think we'll ever knock it down.
