A Utah woman pleaded guilty to two sexual exploitation charges for trying to sell her 13-year old daughter’s virginity and asking the girl to model in her underwear for men. She now faces up to 30 years in prison.

In April, the 33-year-old mother offered her daughter’s virginity to a man in exchange for $10,000. The daughter agreed and even modeled twice for the man but eventually changed her mind.

The mother also faced two first-degree felony counts of aggravated sex abuse of a child and could have been sent to prison for life. In exchange for the plea, prosecutors drop these charges.

The mother’s boyfriend found text messages on her cellphone about the ongoing plan of selling the girl’s virginity. He eventually turned them over  to the police.

The potential buyer, of virginity, has not been charged. News reports did not name the woman to avoid identifying the minor.

Is 30 years enough for someone who is supposed to be the mother and should be protecting her daughter and not selling her virginity?

The concept of auctioning off one’s virginity is not unheard of- in fact, this time I’m positive there was an episode of Law and Order: Special Victims Unit devoted entirely to the concept. (The one with Martin Short, you might recall.)

And while I’m not convinced this isn’t a publicity stunt, social experiment or straight-up hoax, people are getting all het up over a proposed reality show wherein a bunch of virgins auction off their virginity to the highest bidder. Filmmaker Justin Sisley “was forced” to move the project from Australia to Nevada because authorities said they would charge him with prostitution if the project went ahead, but surprisingly, Americans are just as displeased with the idea.

Each of the participants (three so far) will get $20,000 (Australian), plus 90% of the winning bid- the remaining 10% will go to the brothel hosting the show. Even with the 90/10 split, one participant still believes the whole sex for money thing doesn’t constitute prostitution. Going by the name “Veronica,” the participant says:

“Technically I’m selling my virginity for money, technically that would be classified as prostitution, but it’s not going to be a regular thing, so in my head I can justify that I’m not going to be a prostitute,” she told the paper.

“I don’t think I’ll regret it.”

Generally, if I have to call one thing another thing in my head, I know that there is a high likelihood I will end up regretting it- hopefully “Veronica” will fare better there. And if “Veronica” sounds not entirely comfortable with her decision, the male participants sound decidedly less confident:

Fellow lot Alex, 20, explained he’d “applied as a way of meeting someone”, while another, Ronan, said he was “sick of waiting for the right girl and would consider any offers”.

This one is really hard to let you know about without wanting to bang my head against the keyboard.It seems that the growing business of restoring a woman’s virginity in Egypt is making at least one Egyptian scholar very angry.

Now of course we all know that once that cherry is plucked there’s just no putting it back even though some clinics in the Middle East do perform in secret an operation called hymen repair surgery. This of course has given rise to a a more inexpensive way of giving that oh so special illusion.

A simple contraption produced in China releases a blood-like substance when triggered – hence the illusion. The contraption is being imported into Middle East countries and apparently cost only $15.00 in Syria.

Professor Bayoumi, a highly respected professor from the al-Azhar University, says that the device undermines the deterrent of fornication and anyone caught importing such a device should be sentenced to death. As well the members of parliament in Egypt have called for the banning of the import of the devices.
