Spanish police have smashed a "high class" prostitution ring which offered a 16-year-old's virginity for £4,400.
Seven people were arrested after the network was raided in Marbella on Saturday, police said.
Investigators said the ring "offered high-class sex" on different websites with the “virginity of a minor, aged 16, for a price of €5,000" among the offerings.
Spanish authorities launched a probe following “collaboration with an anonymous citizen.”

Police said seven people were arrested and face charges for crimes connected with “prostitution, sexual exploitation and corruption of minors,” according to a statement from the Ministry of Interior.
A police informant said an advertised young woman, who was offering sexual services, claimed to be 18 but appeared much younger.

The statement added: "After analysing the documentation, the investigators found there was a perfectly organized criminal network behind the ads dedicated to the sexual exploitation of women, which made enormous profits from this activity."
Spain has no special laws banning prostitution, but brothels and pimping are illegal.
