A mother on the south coast has been sentenced to two and a half years in jail for forcing her under-aged daughter to work as a prostitute.

A teenage girl says she is "heartbroken" by the actions of her mother, who helped her get work at a brothel so they could earn enough money to start a clothing business.

The girl, then 16, was put on a train from and sent to work at Edgecliff brothel Liaisons, described by Judge Paul Conlon as "a high class agency, however frequented by low class individuals".

In a victim impact statement tendered to the Wollongong District Court, the girl said: "It has made me scared, honestly, scared that if my own mother can betray my trust to this extent, what will other people do to me?"

Police 'knew about' teen sex trade in NT

Trading young Aboriginal girls for sex has been happening for at least 15 years in a Northern Territory mining town, one of Australia's most powerful Aboriginal leaders says.

Non-Aboriginal people working there are believed to be exchanging cash, drugs, taxi rides and alcohol for sex with teenagers, some as young as 13.  Indigenous leader Galarrwuy Yunupingu said the sex trade had been operating for the past 15 years and at least 12 girls were currently engaged in the trade.  "Everybody here knows what has been going on

Trucking group horrified at sex claims

The trucking industry says it is horrified by allegations drivers have been involved in child sex trade along highways in northern NSW.  Truck drivers have reportedly paid for sex with indigenous girls as young as eight in the NSW north-western towns of Boggabilla and Moree.  In some cases, the girls have been drugged and raped, ABC TV reported.  There have been no prosecutions.

Another source told The Area News the child prostitution racket had been operating in the city for nearly 20 years.  “This is extremely widespread and the girls are as young as 11 or 12,” she said. “There are a number of motels and caravans around town which they use and it is extremely organised.  “The girls are paid in either drugs, cigarettes, alcohol, jewellery or food … it changes each week. It’s a bigger problem than anyone realises.”  Even the police admit there’s a problem, however they have been unable to make any progress on the case due to an absence of formal complaints.

Shame Of Children For Sale

Children are selling sex for as little as $5 on Queensland's streets in an epidemic that crime fighters tried to cover up.  Predators are using cash, drugs, a place to sleep or even just attention to entice the desperate boys and girls, some as young as 8.  A major study confirmed more than 100 children were involved in prostitution across the state, but a detailed report on the issue was never made public.

Children 'Handed Over To Sex Ring'

"The picture is painted of young girls and boys who were frightened, unable to protect themselves and make disclosure and who were abandoned by their carers [care givers]," says the report by Ted Mullighan, the commissioner of the inquiry into the sex abuse of state wards.  The report finds that young boys from 's Catholic Orphanage and Brookway Park Boys Reformatory were sexually abused at the homes of adults who had permission to take boys on day outings or to stay away at weekends, the report says.

Prostitutes as young as 13

Children as young as 13 are working as prostitutes on Adelaide suburban streets and in brothels.  A police operation targeting underage prostitution has just been completed and a report submitted to the Mullighan inquiry into child sex abuse.  The report includes details of a case in which a man paid for sex with a 13-year-old boy.

Business owners in one notorious spot, along Hanson Rd in the western suburbs, have told The Advertiser they have seen girls aged 14 and less soliciting outside their shops.  Police confirmed children are involved in prostitution but would not specify their ages. They admit policing underage prostitution in areas such as Hanson Rd is difficult.
