An escort pushed a vulnerable 16-year-old girl into prostitution because she owed her £100, a court heard. The victim fell into debt with Tyler-Jo Walker, who was selling sex in the Newcastle area, ChronicleLive reports.
The teenager ended up sleeping with more than 30 men in hotels and an apartment over two weeks for money after Walker told her she'd have to prostitute herself to pay back the money she owed her. In just one day, Walker took 12 men to the same hotel to have sex with the victim.
A court was told the victim had sex with men who paid around £80 for half an hour in hotels in Newcastle and an apartment in Sunderland. Walker took around £700 of the cash made while the teenaged made £3,000 in the two weeks before police rescued her after her mother found out what was going on.
