In 1747, von Plat was pointed out as a procurer by the seventeen year old Bohman, the daughter of a wealthy craftsman who had run away from home and had been reported for prostitution.
von Plat was portrayed as a well-known elite procurer who provided prostitutes for upper class clients in Stockholm.
A Governor testified to her good character, and Baron von Kurck claimed that she and the prostitutes of her stable where all seamstresses and laundresses in his employ.
During this epoch, unmarried women who could not prove that she had a legal profession, a fortune or a protector who could vouch for her, risked being placed at the Långholmens spinnhus, and elite prostitutes with contacts where normally protected against this by a wealthy clients who provided them with such an assurance.
The case was thus discontinued without it having led to any verdict, and there are no documentation than either Bohman or von Plat where ever punished by a legal court for these offences.
[2] von Plat is referred to in many diaries, memoirs, letters and chronicles of the time, and was the subject of many so-called "Whore Poems" from 18th-century Stockholm.
[3] Her brothel is portrayed in the famed erotic memoirs of Gustaf Hallenstierna, who named himself, Nils von Rosenstein and Carl Fredrik Fredenheim as her clients.
