Legal minimum age of a client?
« on: 10 July 2018, 07:09:41 pm »
Tried to google but still wasn’t sure if 16 or 18 is the legal minimum age of a client?

I personally state I don’t accept under 35s out of personal choice because I love mature guys.

But had someone message saying they’re 16 and got 600 to splash out from they’re birthday money blah blah blah. Feel like it’s a bait txt. As I was sure it’s illegal under 18.

In the UK it is the normal age of consent, i.e. 16 unless you are also their teacher / someone else you have a duty of care for, when it's 18.

Here, they're already boundary pushing, so just block and ignore.

It's 16 but as soon as they say they have money, or the classic "My money is as good as anyone else's" I just know they are going to be very difficult, and mess around.

I just replied, proof of age is always required.

Standing by his 600 for one hour when my rate is nothing like that on the ad he found me on for one hour.  ::) screams TW

Isn't it 18 for adult services/material etc? (I could be wrong as I also only see over 30s so it's been a very long time since I looked into it)

Working in it yes but i think you can pay for sex at 16 i think but i would never want to see someone that young.

Ew just no. On so many levels. I find younger guys much more likely to mess around and not be serious about a booking. This guy is pretty much a child although legally he may not be, he will certainly look like one. And what ID will a 16 year old have? No driving licence or credit card, passport perhaps. But ID can be faked anyway.

No. But then I am in my 40's so maybe, just maybe it wouldn't be so bad if you were early 20's.

I wouldn't want to see anyone who even looked like they were under 18, even if they were mid 20's!

And if (a very tiny if) he were serious, what kind of spoilt, entitled little shit has access to £600 for an hour?

It's not illegal to work under the age of 18, it's illegal for the client to pay for sex with someone under the age of 18 - reasonable belief the person is 18 or over can be a defence.

This reminds me of when a kid rung me, he sounded about 14, said he was 18, I said no your too young, he then said hold on my uncle wants to see you, think he passed the phone to his mate who tried to put a rough older voice on, made me laugh more than anything, reminded me of when I was younger trying to act older. We used to play knock door run on the local massage parlour. On the subject of legal age I m not sure there is ones but obviously they would need to be 16 to have sex, not sure how awkward that  would be  though lol.

I find it awkward with anyone under 35 sadly. Men just don’t even start to grow up til that age. I can’t even hold conversations or date guys my age or younger because of the mental capacity of a lot of them lol

I do not think any escort agency could take on anyone below 18 years of age and if a client booked a girl at 16 that would be bad. Even if the young girl is not breaking any law it is still a law for people to not work in the adult industry below 18 so making certain people responsible for it. I think a lot of escort agencies require i.d to make sure they do not take on anybody younger then 18.

What was "Controlling a child prostitute or a child involved in pornography" - notice that no gain is necessary (and in fact gaining from it is not a specific offence) - and "Arranging or facilitating child prostitution or pornography" is now "Controlling a child in relation to sexual exploitation" and "Arranging or facilitating sexual exploitation of a child".

People prepared to break one law - the usual agency "controlling prostitution for gain" - can be prepared to break another one, but the maximum penalty for these two is fourteen years, not seven, and being suspected of doing it should guarantee police interest.

As ever, if they can't get you for what they thought you were doing, they'll get you for what you were doing.

I always think they couldn't possibly have the money if 18or under. I  just used to say your too young sorry. It's doubtful the guy has that money in his wallet but maybe just his dreams lol
