Woman Sells Virginity For 6-Figure Sum – 8
Catarina Migliorini, a 20-year-old Brazilian, has auctioned off her virginity online for $780,000. The winning bidder is known as Natsu, from Japan. Migliorini says she intends for 90% of the auction money to go to charity, but some are skeptical about whether she will carry out with this promise. Another problem with this is people may not want to accept the money if they know the reason behind it. Natsu will now be tested for sexually transmitted diseases and apparently this will take place on a plane flying between the U.S. and Australia to avoid prostitution laws.
This is newsworthy because as Cleon Daskalakis, a former Boston Bruin who now runs NetRaffle.org, puts it, “This type of transaction is setting a dangerous precedent, not to mention a call for global prostitution on a one-time basis.” The woman is from Brazil but obviously here story has reached our ears. It is definitely rare which I believe is part of the reason why it is news in the U.S. even though it didn’t occur here. I was just surprised how detailed they get about how this process will be carried out and how they plan to avoid the prostitution laws. If you have to worry about avoiding a law, it’s probably something you shouldn’t be doing in the first place.
