N.Z. teen fetches more than $30K for virginity:
A 19-year-old New Zealand girl has auctioned her virginity on a buy and sell website. Listed as Unigirl, her profile described her as fit and attractive, and the anonymous girl says she was desperate for the money to pay for college. Prostitution and soliciting sex is legal in New Zealand, but police still caution selling sex over the Internet for safety reasons. She received more than 1,200 bids and finally accepted an offer for $33,800.
