A
Chilean prostitute has auctioned 27 hours of sex to raise money for the
country’s largest charity during an annual fund-raising campaign.
Maria Carolina became an overnight celebrity in the conservative
Roman Catholic country, making news headlines and appearing on talk
shows since she made her unusual donation to the televised charity
event, which runs for 27 hours starting on Friday evening.
“I’ve already auctioned off the 27 hours of love,” Maria Carolina
told Reuters on Wednesday, saying she had raised about $4,000. “One of
my clients already paid. It seemed like a good deed to him.”
Adult prostitution is legal in Chile. Chile’s two-day Teleton
fundraiser is endorsed by television stars and aims to raise funds for
poor, disabled children.
Speaking about Maria
Carolina’s unusual donation, campaign organizer Mario Kreutzberger said
he would not encourage “immoral” activities, but said he would accept
her pledge.
“Everyone can do what they want, but if someone tells me that they’ll
do something immoral … I’m not going to encourage it,” Kreutzberger,
who as “Don Francisco” hosts the long-running “Sabado Gigante” program
on the U.S. Spanish-language Univision network, told local media.
But Maria Carolina, who advertises her services on the Internet, defended her money-raising scheme.
“There are people who are going to be donating money that’s a lot
more questionable than mine,” she said. “The only thing I did was
publicize it.”
