Sex ads disguised as ‘massage’ services on popular website

POPULAR classifieds website Gumtree is being used by men and women to advertise sex for sale under the guise of massage services.

The website features more than 1,000 adverts for massage-related services in Ireland, a large percentage of which are legitimate professional businesses.

However, in a significant number of cases, the massage operations, often listed under “full-body massage”, are actually fronts for sex services.
