Virgin selling ring busted for over 5,000 USD

Police have arrested seven people linked to a network selling virgins in Marbella, Málaga province, Spain.

Spanish police have just busted a “high-class” prostitution ring that specialized in selling the virgins of underage girls. Each successful transaction would earn the ringleaders around $4,400.

Police confirmed that the seven suspects will face charges related to "prostitution and sexual exploitation of minors", according to a statement from Spain's Interior Ministry.

The investigation team determined that this network "specialized in providing high-class prostitutes" on various websites. In it, they often offered "the virginity of minors, as young as 16, for prices up to 5,300 USD".

According to Mirror, Spanish authorities began investigating following "an offer of cooperation from an anonymous citizen".

Police representatives stressed that one prostitute advertised was 18 years old, but many sources confirmed that she was only about 16 years old.

"After analyzing the documents, investigators discovered an organized crime network behind these false advertising activities, which generated significant profits from the trafficking and sexual exploitation of women," the statement said.

Spain has no laws prohibiting prostitution, but brothel operations are considered illegal.
