Virginity Auction: Siberian Teenager Shatuniha Sells Her ‘Most Precious Thing’ For $27K [VIDEO]
A Siberian teenager has successfully auctioned off her virginity online.
The 18-year-old girl, known only as Shatuniha, posted an offering on Russian auction site 24au.ru explaining that she needed money and was willing to exchange her virginity for cash.
"I am in urgent need of money, so I am selling the most precious thing I possess," she reportedly wrote on the website. "I am ready to meet up soon, even as soon as tomorrow, and I am ready to have my virginity verified. I can come to a hotel at Predmostnaya Square with a document confirming my virginity, and with a person who will take the cash and leave, so that I am not fooled."
The auction is considered legal and no laws were broken, according to The Siberian Times.
"This situation is neither an administrative nor a criminal violation," a police spokesman told the newspaper. "Nor does it fit into a description of the 'Prostitution' clause from the Code of the Administrative Violations'...The police said they had 'no right to give a moral assessment of a girl's actions.' "
Shatuniha posted the auction on Oct. 30 with an 800,000 ruble price tag ($24,600), according to the report. By the next day, a man named Evgeniy Volnov made the deal with her for 900,000 rubles ($27,950).
