Online Virgin Auction Director 'Could Face Sex Trafficking Crimes'

Two weeks ago, we saw on the news Brazilian student selling her virginity, and claims to use the proceeds to help rebuild her community. The business transaction yet to be completed , might be a failure as the director of the online reality show could be charged with sex trafficking crimes.

The 20-year-old physical education student is set to earn £487,000 from the controversial sale after the online auction closed last Wednesday. She was taking part in a documentary by Australian film-maker Justin Sisely entitled Virgins Wanted.

The winning bidder was identified as a Japanese man named only as "Natsu". The pair will reportedly consummate the act on board a plane between Australia and the US, in a bid to avoid prostitution laws.
But on Sunday Brazil's attorney general, Joao Pedro de Saboia Bandeira de Mello, ordered an "urgent" investigation into the virgin auction, claiming it amounted to "people trafficking".
In a letter to Brazil's foreign minister, he said Mr Sisely should be stopped from "executing the crime" and be arrested by international law enforcers.

And he called on authorities in Australia, where Ms Migliorini lives, to deport her back to Brazil and revoke her visa for "the exercise of prostitution".

He said: "In principal this looks to me like the crime of people trafficking, whose repression is provided for in international treaties."
