Young girls across Romania are being sold as sex slaves in Britain for as little as £500 each.
The girls, some no older than 14, are forced to sleep with as many as twenty men a day, making thousands of pounds for their pimps and traffickers.
The men who sell them claim that the lifting of border restrictions on Romanians has made it easy to bring the girls to the UK as sex workers, while while police sources say eastern European girls have 'completely overtaken the prostitution scene'.
Separate investigations by the Sun on Sunday and the Sunday Mirror found traffickers who paraded girls in front of reporters and offered to sell them on the spot, claiming they could be in Britain in less than a week.
One desperate father even offered up his own step-daughter, claiming he needed the money to provide for his other four children.
An undercover Sun reporter was invited into the man's home, shown pictures of the girl, named Emma. He said he would accept an offer of €15,000 (£12,400) in cash for her.
He said: 'It's not pennies. I want a few thousand euros to spend on each of the other children. Put yourself in my position as a parent. I'm doing this for the other children.
'Emma has an ID card and can travel. No problem. You can take her.'
