Police in Hong Kong are investigating an online video showing a teenage girl performing oral sex in exchange for cash to buy a designer handbag. The six-minute clip shows the 17-year-old performing the sex act on the upper deck of a Hong Kong bus.
The video, which appears to be shot on a camera phone, has now been circulated online under the heading “Kikimushroom do things on bus“. The accompanying caption reads “Pay $200 and get this service from a 17-year-old Hong Kong student. She wants to buy Gucci bag.”
Police were investigating whether the video is part of a growing trend called “compensated dating.” This euphemism describes a practice where young girls are paid for sex. In my day that was simply called prostitution.
I understand a girl’s love of Gucci more than the next person, but this just seems tacky to me. When I was 17 I was working checkouts at K-Mart. It wasn’t glamorous, but I would have rather saved my minimum wage paycheck to buy that designer purse than stoop as low as these teens!
