Schoolgirl makes small fortune as weekend prostitute

Her unusual weekend job was exposed when a teacher at her school in South Shields, near Newcastle, found condoms, lubricant and details of the agency she worked for in her school bag.

Police officers who searched her home found more than £8000 stashed in the attic in November last year. The girl, who cannot be named because she is a minor, is thought to have netted around £1700 every weekend.

Details of the case emerged during a hearing at South Tyneside Magistrates Court to decide what should happen to the cash.

Asa Anderson, representing Northumbria Police, told the hearing: "The money was seized after police received a phone call from a school where a teacher found a pupil's bag. The bag was found containing certain items."

The court decided the cash should be forfeited to the authorities.

Police said a man aged 44 and a woman aged 46 were arrested on suspicion of inciting child prostitution, but later released facing no further action. The schoolgirl herself is not thought to be facing any charges.

^ Ummm ... I see that Korean sense of humour has rubbed off on someone

If it wasn't for that nosey teacher rifling through her school bag, she could have been a millionaire and retired by the time she was 21.

Ouch.

If the authorities keep the cash are they then profiting from the proceeds of prostitution ?

Metaphorically speaking, couldn't one call 'authorities' pimps? Isn't that what they are anyway?

Not realy, as the cost of the police, courts, social services, administration etc will far exceed the 8K found in the girls house.

Its a funny one (funny weird, not ha ha). I suppose the funds were whats that phrase "profits from a crime" or whatever. However, as the girl was not charged.....(from the article), seem a bit dodgy.

I suppose the point is, its not like she gets magically unf*cked cause they took the money - maybe should have been kept and somehow directly used for her welfare? Dunno.

What is the age of consent in UK anyway?

^She does not need to be charged, they are still immoral earnings.

Daily Mail had her as 100,000 a year - they extarpolated her monthly earnings. Makes a better story that way

Not really arguing, but surely the categorization of "immoral earnings" must come AFTER a conviction for prostitution?

And, I have an itchy feeling that its a crime to "live off immoral earnings" (i.e. pimp), not sure that the money itself for a prostitute are legally siezable??

just mulling.

Yes. Quite a difference between her "immoral" earnings and the big banks and corporations that have been "morally" screwing the public with impunity.
