Brit Student Cannot Be Legally Forbidden from Selling Virginity Online

Prostitution being legal in the home country, the Brit student cannot be legally forbidden from auctioning her virginity online.

Natalie Dylan, made-up name for a real California college grad, is offering her body to bidders nationwide in an auction that reportedly has netted a 3.7 million dollars offer.

Would the New Law Which Seeks to Criminalise Men Who Pay for Sex With Prostitutes, be Effective?
A police expert has cast doubts on the effectiveness of the British Government's new law that seeks to criminalise men who pay for sex with prostitutes.

While her offer has attracted serious flak from all corners of the world, neither the law, nor the FBI, the U.S. attorney or the local police, can do anything against her, for Dylan is marketing her maidenhead in Nevada, where prostitution is legal.

"It does seem crazy. The rest of the country has an interest in stopping that kind of activity from spreading from Nevada to their home state," Fox News quoted Mathew Staver, director of the Liberty Center for Law and Policy, as saying.

Staver said that, as the bidding was taking place on the Internet, federal law could be applied to stop the auction from going through.

Global Financial Crisis Forcing Aussie Women To Take To Prostitution
In the next one year, more prostitutes in Queensland will skyrocket as more Aussie women are getting into the legal and illegal sex industry owing to the global financial crisis.

"Nevada has been out of step with the rest of the country for many years with regards to prostitution, and that's why I think it's important for federal prosecutors to look into this, so that Nevada does not dictate the morals and moral decency for the rest of the nation," said Staver.

However, authorities said that they couldn't do much about the case, and deflected attention toward local statutes.

Exhausted Queensland Nurses Consider Prostitution a Better Option
Overworked and exhausted nurses in the state of Queensland in Australia are turning to prostitution as a better option.

"Being that prostitution is legal in the area that she's listing from, and she's over 18 and it's consensual, I would defer it to local police authorities," said David Staretz, a spokesman for the FBI's Las Vegas field office.

The Postal Inspection Service, which monitors the Internet for some illegal transactions, is "currently unaware of any specific fed prohibition against this activity," said spokesman Al Weissman.

In fact, a few legal experts have said that the women and the site owners are well within their rights to make the sale.

"It's a First Amendment issue. You can advertise goods or services that are illegal where they're advertised but legal where they're performed. What's she's advertising is as legal as toast with the crust cut off where she is," said Marc Randazza, an attorney specializing in first amendment law.

He added: "If this is legal where it's being advertised" - in Nevada - "the government can't say you can't advertise it here."
