Legal Consequences for the College Student Auctioning off Her Virginity

The case of the college woman who is auctioning off her virginity in order to pay for college has captured recent headlines. Yes, college is expensive.  And according to the news these days, Natalie Dylan, 22, is auctioning off her virginity to the highest bidder to pay for her college education.  And she’s had quite a few bidders, according to her.

From the perspective of a Minnesota criminal defense attorney, there are a few legal issues with this. If this were a Minnesota college student, the most obvious law she would be breaking is the crime of solicitation, which is a felony. Even if the sexual act itself occurs at the Bunny Ranch in Nevada, if she resided within for example, Hennepin County in the State of Minnesota when she posted the ad on the internet is enough to bring charges of solicitation.

 

If she would be convicted of a felony or felonies, and her ultimate goal is working as a Marital & Family therapist, there are guidelines to licensing with the State of Minnesota that could bar the convicted felon from practicing in that field.
