Peruvian virgin turns down $1.5m

Inside a tiny breeze block house, beneath the dusty hills on the desert outskirts of Lima, religious paintings like the Virgin and Child and the Sacred Heart share wall space with photographs of a beguiling young woman posing as a model.

Graciela's bid to sell her virginity provoked outrage in Peru
The Bible is open at John, Chapter 11, telling the story of the Resurrection of Lazarus.

Behind the curtains which separate a tiny bedroom from the living room, lies a sick 43-year-old woman, whose daughter, Graciela, is prepared to take drastic measures to help her.

Graciela - or Gracia as she prefers to be known - has been working since the age of eight, left school at 15 and now three years later earns around $60 a month acting or modelling.

Smart girl!

What she wanted to do WAS PROSTITUTION. They have sex, he pays.

Hum, I don't think it's the last we'll hear of this girl!

maybe she never intended to go through with anything. maybe it was her way to ask for help. Doing it like this would certainly have more people tuned to it so the bigger the chance of someone helping her and her family out a bit.

She was offered over a million for her virginity and turned it down. I really don't think she wanted to go through with it at all. I think she just wanted to get her story out and maybe get a compassionate person to come forward and help them. Charity.

If she did want to go through with it, then it was deffinately prostitution.
