Authors, sign in!If you can remember last year a 22-year-old Natalie Dillon put her "virginity" up for auction to pay for school. Since then, numerous young women are giving it a test drive.
According to the Huffington Post, "In Northern Ireland, a sixteen-year-old girl attempted to sell her virginity to the highest bidder using the U.K.-based online classifieds website Gumtree."
Her ad was listed under the heading "Virginity for sale," notes the Telegraph. The unnamed teen reportedly said she was offering her body "to the highest bidder" in order to pay for her education
According to the Belfast Telegraph, after being contacted by the reporter, the girl responded quickly via text with descriptions, including her bra size, and asked for details about the transaction. Her text messages to the reporter, who posed as a wealthy businessman, included:
I'm 17 at the end of the month, but I look way older. I'm tallish, size 14-ish, size 36D breasts, long browny- blonde hair. I actually have three piercings.I can basically do this any Saturday. Do you want me all night? What exactly is it you wish to do?
However, before the transaction was to occur, the reporter called the girl and revealed his true identity as a reporter, and the girl sent "panicky texts claiming it was 'a joke'."
My Thoughts..
