Good grief.  I wonder what her kids will think about this 20 years from now? 

22-Year-Old Sells Virginity Online -- and Feds Can't Do a Thing to Stop Her
Thursday, January 15, 2009

By Joseph Abrams

A 22-year-old woman is selling her virginity online — offering her body to bidders nationwide in an auction that reportedly has netted a $3.7 million offer — and the law isn't doing a thing to stop her.

The FBI isn't interested. The U.S. attorney doesn't care. Everything is fine by local police, and she isn't breaking any laws.

That's because Natalie Dylan, a made-up name for a real 22-year-old California college grad, is marketing her maidenhead in Nevada, where prostitution is legal.

But some religious legal groups are objecting to the sexual sale, saying they are concerned that its influence may reach beyond the borders of the "Battle Born" bordello state.

"It does seem crazy," said Mathew Staver, director of the Liberty Center for Law and Policy. "The rest of the country has an interest in stopping that kind of activity from spreading from Nevada to their home state."

Staver said because the bidding was being conducted online, federal law could be applied to stop the auction from going through.

"Nevada has been out of step with the rest of the country for many years with regards to prostitution, and that's why I think it's important for federal prosecutors to look into this, so that Nevada does not dictate the morals and moral decency for the rest of the nation," Staver told FOXNews.com.

But federal authorities said there wasn't much they could do about the case, and deflected attention toward local statutes.

"Being that prostitution is legal in the area that she's listing from, and she's over 18 and it's consensual, I would defer it to local police authorities," said David Staretz, a spokesman for the FBI's Las Vegas field office.

The Postal Inspection Service, which monitors the Internet for some illegal transactions, is "currently unaware of any specific fed prohibition against this activity," said spokesman Al Weissman.

The office of the U.S. attorney in Nevada said that it has prosecuted over 200 cases in the last six years involving the solicitation of minors online, but it had never worked on a case like this involving adults.

The Moonlite Bunny Ranch, the brothel that is arranging and hosting the deal, sounded especially gung-ho about Dylan.

"Natalie is a virgin and would like to sell this priceless and rare commodity in a very exclusive and private setting," says the Bunny Ranch Web site.

While the commodity's rarity may be debatable, more than 10,000 bidders have come forth to put a price tag on Dylan's purity. And if the Bunny Ranch's owner is to be believed, someone has offered $3.7 million, a price far above rubies.

"One time only she will appear at the bunny ranch and give up her virginity to the highest bidder," says the brothel's Web site in a needlessly repetitive statement. Dylan says she is trying to finance graduate studies for her sister and herself.

Some legal experts say they're well within their rights to make the sale.

"It's a First Amendment issue. You can advertise goods or services that are illegal where they're advertised but legal where their performed," said Marc Randazza, an attorney specializing in first amendment law. "What's she's advertising is as legal as toast with the crust cut off where she is."

Randazza said some prosecutors might be eager to jump on the case, but that this "commercial speech" is protected.

"If this is legal where it's being advertised" — in Nevada — "the government can't say you can't advertise it here," he told FOXNews.com.

[Mars]

[240 is Back]

LOL @ her "maidenhead"

[Parker]

Isn't she doing this for a study...a thesis...for grad school, and to pay for grad school

[Eyeball Chambers]

She's an adult in a free Country.

Thank god we live in a free society.

[w8tlftr]

It's a free country.

If she chooses to be a whore then more power to her.

That said, I hope she doesn't get upset when people call her a whore and she finds it harder to find work.

Freedom of speech works both ways.

 

[a_joker10]

Her state of residence easily could.
Solicitation is a crime.

[calfzilla]

If she doesn't bleed do you get a refund?  

[Cap]

Another bitch selling her body to "get through school".   

[2ND COMING]

3.7 mil?

{giggle} She doesn't.

Over the holidays, I heard her on a radio talk show.

My mother was almost having an apoplectic fit when she discovered what this girl was doing.

The talk show host asked her: 

"What do you say to people who say that what you're during is basically prostitution?"

Her response:

"They're absolutely right!"

I had to burst out laughing. 

btw - After I started laughing my mother's head nearly exploded?

I don't know, Jag, she says that now but when you're young you don't always think of the long term consequences.

Hers is the sort of notoriety I don't think most people would want. IMO, this will haunt her later in life.

I doubt it.... there'll be new scandals in the future and I think she's keeping her identity a secret.

Her identity was no longer secret once her picture got out.

Someone will remember that face. Just takes one person.

Yep.



There is a proverb that says a good name is more valuable than great wealth/riches.  It's true.  Kids like her don't appreciate that fact. 

[a_joker10]

I think this is hilarious.

I am just waiting for someone to out her.

Its not like they can't do hymen attachment surgery.

http://www.cosmeticgyn.net/media_d_magazine.htm
Yes, you, too, can have your hymen reattached (well, if you’re a woman). Shay Gibson opted out of that procedure. But Jeannette Yarborough didn’t. She’s a medical assistant from San Antonio and she went to Hailparn to have her vaginal walls tightened and her “virginity restored” as a gift to her husband on their 17th anniversary. “It was the ultimate gift that I could give him,” Yarborough says.

Though Hailparn doesn’t do too many hymen repairs, Dr. Marco Pelosi does. He’s a gynecologist in New Jersey who’s performed hymenoplasties for 30 years. Until recently, the women requesting them came from Middle Eastern cultures in which punishment for an impure bride was, in some cases, stoning. Today, though, most women requesting the surgery are upper-middle class, largely white, coming from all over the world (and, yes, Dallas, too, Pelosi says, though D could not reach any former clients), and they are having the procedure for reasons similar to Yarborough’s. Pelosi now does 10 hymen repairs a month, up from two a decade ago.

“I say it will be a one-night deal,” Pelosi says. “But the women say, ‘I don’t mind.’”

When this is all said and done the joke won't be on her. It will be on the pathetic loser that paid 3.7 million for sex with a woman with average looks.
