Student sells virginity for $780,000

A Brazilian student has sold her virginity in an online auction for $780,000 (€600,000) as part of a documentary organised by an Australian filmmaker, although a man who did the same only fetched $3,000 (€2,300).

Catarina Migliorini, 20, was the subject of 15 bids, with a Japanese man named only as Natsu winning on Wednesday night, according to the website of the film Virgins Wanted.

He beat out competition from 14 other men, mostly from Brazil but also from India, Australia and the United States.
