EXCLUSIVE: Former sex worker claims Bunny Ranch owner Dennis Hof choked and raped her - making her the third woman to come forward with allegations against the brothel owner who just won Republican primary for the Nevada legislature

A former sex worker claims she was choked and sexually assaulted by Nevada brothel owner Dennis Hof - making her the third woman to come forward with allegations of abuse by the man known as the 'PT Barnum of Booty.'
Theresa Lowe, 55, who worked under the name 'August Knight', told DailyMail.com in an exclusive interview that she endured months of hell at the hands of the 71-year-old, including allegedly being raped.
Lowe, who was employed at Love Ranch North in Mound House, Nevada, for six years until 2012, said she finally decided to leave after an incident in which she claims Hof choked her in the brothel's kitchen while demanding 'Where the f*** have you been?'
Her story follows those of Jennifer O'Kane, 47, and Diana Grandmaison, 58, who also claim to have been abused by Hof during their time working in his legal sex dens.
Hof owns seven brothels in Nevada, among them the Moonlite Bunny Ranch in Mound House and Love Ranch South where Lamar Odom was found unconscious after a drug overdose in October 2015 in Crystal. He also starred on the HBO adult reality series Cathouse.
On Tuesday, he ousted incumbent James Oscarson to take the Republican nomination for Nevada's Assembly District 36 and will now battle it out with Democrat Lesia Romanov for the seat in November.
