"I never brought up sex myself, always answering (questions) in a neutral tone," Rogind reported in the Danish newspaper Ekstra Bladet. "Many men began chatting with ordinary questions about my hobbies. But then they got more and more personal, and wanted to meet up."

Included was Copenhagen's police chief who reportedly came to Rogind's apartment after checking to be sure "May's" mother would be out. There he was surprised by a team of journalists from Ekstra Bladet.
