London, Oct 4 (IANS) Irma Nici, who claimed she had sex with David Beckham, has sued the soccer ace for causing her ’emotional and physical injuries’.

Beckham, who denied the sex claims, had earlier sued Nici for a whopping $8.2 million in damages. The 26-year-old former prostitute is now hitting back at the father-of-three, reports dailymail.co.uk.

Nici’s attorney, Paul Rolf Jensen, filed a suit Friday at the Los Angeles County Superior Court.

She is said to be claiming for the injuries received when a process server arrived at her New York hotel to deliver Beckham’s $25.26m lawsuit last week.

The Bosnian-born claims she was hounded by officials and was hospitalised afterwards. She is holding Beckham responsible for her troubles.

‘Beckham is responsible for his goon’s conduct, and we will hold him liable for it,’ said Jenson. ‘California law does not allow public figures like David Beckham to stifle free speech. Maybe he didn’t live here in Los Angeles long enough to learn how precious we here consider our rights to tell the truth in print.’
