Oz mum 'sent 16-year-old daughter to work in brothel'

Melbourne, July 28 (ANI): A mother has been charged with sending her 16 year-old-daughter to work as a prostitute at a brothel in Sydney's eastern suburbs.

The girl was taken by her mother to Liaisons Executive Retreat, a brothel in the eastern inner-city suburb of Edgecliff, and was made to work there for two weeks.

According to The Ten Network, she was forced to serve more than 18 clients over a period of 13 hours, charging up to 330 dollars an hour and working under the name 'Layla', reports News.com.au.

The father reported the matter to the police after the girl broke down when she told him she had been subjected to acts of violence.

She kept returning to the brothel for the fear of 'disappointing' her mother.

The mother has pleaded not guilty to the child prostitution charges and will face court again next month. (ANI)
