A teenage virgin is being offered up for sex by a Sydney escort agency for $12,000, according to reports in the Australian press.
According to the Fairfax press, Sweet Girls Premium Escort is offering a "rare opportunity" to bed a Chinese-born Melbourne high school student.
The offer starts May 19, a spokeswoman told The Sun-Herald, adding that: "She is a virgin, you can tell."
Even better, according to the agency's spokeswoman: "She goes to your place or hotel and you can spend two days together. She does not have a boyfriend and she wants to do it for the money."
The Sweet Girls Premium Escort website, which is written in English and Chinese, has posted photos of the teen but her face is blurred.

The agency recruits mostly Asian women aged 18 to 25 and suggests to potential workers they can make easy cash.
The website suggests that by working for the agency, a girl or woman can "solve your financial problem within short time."
It states: "Want to earn tuition fee? Reduce your family financial burden? Want to buy luxury brand like Louis Vuitton, etc Please contact us immediately!! We will tailor a work plan to help you resolve your financial problem within short time!!"
Nine News quotes women's advocate Melinda Tankard Reist as saying the brothel is clearly lacking ethics.
"If the woman is in financial need then the brothel is a vulture preying on her financial desperation," she said.
"Why would someone want to pay to take a girl's virginity?"
Tankard Reist also questioned what sort of man was attracted to this proposition.
"This raises a lot of questions. Why would someone want to pay to take a girl's virginity?"
