Literally child sex and child prostitution occured or ws somewhat common in london in all it shistory it seems:
„ When the German traveller Archenholz visited London in the late eighteenth century, he noticed that every evening around dusk all the principal streets would fill with prostitutes dressed in gaudy colours. The better-class ladies of the night would walk about until they were addressed, but most of the streetwalkers actively ‘accost the passengers, and offer to accompany them: they even surround them in crowds, stop and overwhelm them with caresses and entreaties’. He was horrified to see eight- and nine-year-old girls proffering their charms. Around midnight, after the young women made their bargains and disappeared from the streets, ‘then the old wretches, of fifty or sixty years of age, descend from their garrets, and attack the intoxicated passengers, who are often prevailed upon to satisfy their passions in the open street’.”
its only now tht its so weird its so taboo and you cant even find 16 yr old prostitutes amywer emuych less at the time 8 or 9??? how the fuck did they decide to just bencome prostitutes at such ags even?
