2011] Two teachers who sold out pupils as young as 11-years-old to men seeking virgins for sex have been sentenced to death for running a child prostitution ring, Chinese press reports said Wednesday.

Six of the girls were aged under 14, according to the Shanghai Daily, which said that the victims supposedly being "virgins" was a main selling point.

trafficking in children both between and within various countries is on the
increase. In recent years, large numbers of children from Cambodia, China, Laos and Myanmar have been
forced to work as prostitutes in Thailand. Both girls and boys from poor
