- DaniFong 17y agoFirstly, I quoted the average age of prostitutes as 13; apparently the claim, even in the documentary, is that of the age of entry into prostitution. My mistake. Secondly, I've been trying to track down the original reference. The Justice department has a page here: http://www.justice.gov/criminal/ceos/prostitution.html http://www.justice.gov/criminal/ceos/prostitution.html Listing a reference to a report by Estes et. al. which was located here: http://caster.ssw.upenn.edu/~restes/CSEC.htm http://caster.ssw.upenn.edu/~restes/CSEC.htm But is now not available. The specific claim is supported to be on page 92.
