How Old Should An Escort In London Be?

In December of 2016, two men from Shoeburyness in the United Kingdom made headlines when they were arrested for pimping out underage girls for prostitution. The two men, Steven Davis and Stephen Castle, employed the girls under their company Girls4You, which also operated a website from which the girls could be booked for sex. One of the girls later revealed to the area Police that the men hired her when she was still 15 years of age back in 2014. By the time the Police rounded out their investigation in 2016, she still wasn't an adult yet to qualify as an escort. And she wasn't the first girl they'd hired. Girls4You was found to have been active for at least 14 years. The two men have since been jailed and added to the sex offender's list. Across the pond in America, in February of 2018, a 35 year old New Jersey rabbi named Aryeh Goodman reported himself into police custody after sleeping with a prostitute at a hotel in East Brunswick and paying for her services. That she was a prostitute and he was a rabbi wasn't even the problem, it's that the girl in question was only 17 years of age. Whether he knew it at the time or not, it was illegal. In addition to other sentences, he has since been barred from working with children at all. Both of these real-life stories are examples of what happens when a client deals with a young escort. It doesn't matter if it was knowingly or unknowingly; it is still a crime. It's not only in New Jersey or Anglia where sex work by underage girls and boys is frowned upon. Police officers across the world are always on the lookout for underage sex workers as the issue takes the world by storm. In recent years, prostitution laws in London and of course, the rest of the United Kingdom have undergone some work across the board. Today, the country is faced with a growing sex work problem as more and more foreign nationals take it up as a source of employment. Sections of London such as Ilford are now prostitution hubs, with the police playing catch-up. Some of the girls caught in police raids of famous brothels in such places are operating while underage. Unsurprisingly, most of the girls have since been found to be Romanian nationals that were kidnapped and illegally brought into the country to work for pimps. According to UK law, an escort in London should be 18 years of age or older. Anyone younger than that is considered a minor. Evert escort working in London should, therefore, be a minimum of 18 years of age.

The Law Against Underage Escorting

UK law permits prostitution to a varying degree, and that is always perceived to cover escorting as well. Still, it considers many other aspects of the prostitution experience illegal such as soliciting and kerb crawling. The law keeps its current stance on 18 years of age as the minimum age a prostitute should be. Anyone found to be practicing prostitution while younger than 18 is liable to prosecution in a court of law. The only way they might avoid jail is if they are found to have been working under force. Also responsible for court prosecution is anyone found engaging in sexual acts with the said escort. The law also stretches its hand to reach whoever is in charge of the escort, such as whoever is pimping her out or whoever manages her escort agency.

The underage escort problem

The United Kingdom is struggling with its large batch of underage escorting cases, as are many countries around the world. This problem has been brought about by an underlying sea of factors and is continuously perpetuated by a number of conspirators, both knowingly and unknowingly, including pimps, escort websites, the police, misleading law and misleading beliefs about younger escorts. Pimps are perhaps the biggest conspirators of all. They're responsible for most of the underage escorts in trade today, in addition to being the guys that give the trade a terrible name by employing trafficked girls. Most of the girls employed by pimps are kidnapped, stolen girls without a way back home. Pimps put them to so much work so that they can pay for their worth before they are resold again. Reports about the situation in London boroughs like Ilford show that some pimps even set up mobile brothels made up of just mattresses in the backs of cars to cash in on everyday streetwalkers, who in this case are potential clients. Pimps contribute immensely to this dangerous narrative. Escort websites and online collectives feature hundreds of escorts promoting themselves on various individual pages of the site or small microsites. They are useful to both clients and Independent escorts: independent escorts get to be featured alongside others, which means more potential clients, while clients don't have to discover each escort via an individual website. But the problem is that these escort websites, unlike escort agency websites, don't always vet their girls properly before accepting them onto the platform. As a result, a 16 year old might be able to sign up and create a real account, complete with cute pictures. Fast forward to days later and a man will hire her, following her fake account details that suggest she is 19 or 20. These escort websites have proved to be the platform where almost all underage escorts are found, and that's because they are protected by the law and not well regulated. It would come as no surprise that some members of the British police force accept bribes and blackmail from pimps and escort service providers to reach a no-arrest agreement. That way, prostitution crimes can be overlooked by the arresting officer on the ground. Some of those crimes always include pimping out underage escorts in seedy hotels and back seats of cars. While the police looks away until the night is over, this terrible system continues unabated, and that is a real danger. There is some blame to be laid on the current law on legal mature age in the UK too. In a way, it has been misleading to many people. While the law says a person is only mature when they make eighteen years of age, it also means that the general age of consent is sixteen. When a 16-year-old girl is found accepting sex for money on a consensual basis with her client, she will be arrested and tried for, among other things, prostitution as a minor. The confusion here comes from her being arrested despite being of the age of consent. Of course, the law also has specific sections on prostitution, which deem anyone younger than 18 to be a child. But the two ages leave many people confused. Even more misleading than the ages is the belief that girls of a certain age are quite better for sex than women of a certain age because they are 'fresh' and are usually possibly virgins. This is the same mentality that Arab terrorists use when picking young girls as wives, which shows how sick it is as a theory. Anyone that is deemed a child by the law, especially one that is younger than the age of consent, should not be subjected to sex or sexual practices of any kind.

What to do when you find you've booked an underage escort in London?

Here's a very short guide on what to do if you find yourself with an underage escort.

Stop any action

The moment you discover that your escort might be younger than 18, stop right there with any action that might be going on for the moment. Don't push her into anything further, as your instincts might tell you. Don't run away or panic either.

Ask for ID

If you have a hunch that your chosen escort might be underage, ask for her ID. There is a chance that she has a fake ID to reflect a fake profile. Just to be clear, you asking for her ID makes you sound like a cop and is very likely to blow in your face and destroy any credibility you had as a client.

Don't patronize her

It's almost an automatic reflex for any functioning man to become protective and patronizing of any escort when he discovers that she is still a child. But don't forget that you do not have proof yet that she's a child. And even when there's enough proof for you to call the police, it's still not your place to give her a vast speech about her life's direction. That's just patronizing, and escorts hate it.

Leave

If at any point during your session with her you get the feeling that she might legally still be a child, the smart thing for you to do is to leave. Don't hang around, wallowing in guilt after your discovery. That guilt can get you arrested, because if you are found by the police within her rooms, you will be a suspect in the investigation. At the same time, don't try to enjoy your new realization by playing out your teen sex fantasies. It's already wrong to be naked with her.

Call the authorities

Once you leave her premises, it's not fair that you stay silent. There's a high chance she might be in the employ of a sex pimp that lends her out for sex and has kidnapped her against her will, or some other terrible back story. Inspirational stories about young 16 year old girls making their own choices as escorts are the norm here. Call the authorities anonymously and report the occurrence. Make sure you have proof that she's underage before you call.

Can you guess an escort's real age?

In this day and age, there are a lot of lies that go around, especially on the internet. Lying on the internet about age, occupation, or other things is nothing uncommon. How can a client know if their escort is underage without having access to their ID and especially if the escort doesn't look that young? There is truly no way to know unless she tells you, and she most probably won't. Some experts say you should look closer at her body and her mannerisms, especially if she says she is 18, 19 or 20 years old. There is a good chance she is way younger than you think. As for body mannerisms, discomfort and naivete during sex are the biggest giveaways for any underage escort. But when she has been in the business a while (as with the 16 year old Shoeburyness girl above), she might have smoothed out her edges well enough by the time you meet her. She might be good at acting to be older than her age so you won't know a thing. This is how it ends up being a game of constant suspicion until a girl is actually discovered.

Conclusion

At the end of the day, there's nothing good about booking an underage escort, whether she's only one day from turning 18 or just 14. They might say fresh meat is excellent, but 15-year-old 'fresh meat' is considered a child by law in the United Kingdom, which officially makes you a pedophile. Occasionally, a client might find himself with a girl that looks way older. The right thing to do, if he discovers that she is, in fact, underage, is to stop any action right away and contact the local authorities. Most men prefer to go on as long they are not caught, which only serves to support pedophilia more.
