Russian beauty queen return home from Dubai where she went to 'sell her virginity'

Dubai : A mother has pleaded for her 17-year-old beauty queen daughter to come home amid claims she has flown from her home in Russia to Dubai to sell her virginity for £10,000.

Anna Feschenko, 17, a model who was runner-up in the Miss Moscow contest in June, travelled to the United Arab Emirates after claiming its was a prize from the pageant.

But her friends denied it was a prize and said her true intention was to join an escort service which would offer her as a virgin to Arab clients.

She hoped to earn money to pay for her university education in Moscow.

Her travelling companion, named as Ekaterina K, 19, fled when she realised Miss Feschenko's alleged intention to work as an escort in Dubai.

She said: 'I travelled there because Anna invited me and said that it was a prize paid for by the Miss Moscow contest.

'In two days we had a scandal when I got to know the truth about why we were there.I told Anna that I was not going to stay and would go home.

'Anna tried to push me, she asked me to go away and leave her alone there. But I don't need this kind of job.'

Ekaterina's parents - who flew to Dubai to bring their daughter home - informed Anna's mother who called on Russian police to help, reported Life.ru news website.

Ekaterina added: 'I believe she had a right to know. It is a privilege in the UAE to be a virgin.

'I think Anna was just impressed with the amount of money she could get.'

She also claimed Miss Feschenko was no longer living in the hotel where they originally stayed but was now in a flat in Dubai with two other eastern European girls who were ready to work as escorts.

While another friend, Karina claimed she warned her in advance about the risks of such a venture.

Olga Feschenko - Anna's mother - said she was now in touch with her daughter by text messages, and hopes she will now return to Russia.

But she was expecting her yesterday and she did not come.

She said: 'I am in touch with Anna, we are in contact all the time. I am worried about my daughter, I am a normal parent.

'I watch many soap operas and you know what it happening there, so I decided to rush to police.

'Usually she would always text me when she finished some activity like the gym, and now you see what happened. So I went to the police.'

The police say there is a limit to what they can do since the mother had given her daughter formal permission - as an under 18 - to travel to Dubai with Ekaterina acting as her guardian.

The website of the beauty pageant - at which she was crowned 'Vice Miss Moscow' as runner-up - said she is a long distance runner who loves classical music, and plays the violin.

She was actively involved in charity work and 'dreams of travelling around the world.'

Now police in Moscow are checking websites and social networks which offer girls the opportunity to 'sell' their virginity, reported Life.ru

It is believed to be via such a site that Miss Feschenko found her sponsor before going to Dubai.
