 Thistlewood would sometimes rape with more than one slave in a night, after which he would sometimes give them some coins "for their troubles".Within days of becoming overseer of Egypt, he was raping the slaves, starting with a possibly under-aged girl named Ellin.After Ellin, Thistlewood moved on to Dido, but shortly afterwards he began to notice the appearance of red spots that indicated the appearance of "the clap".
