Internet sex auction, what's the worst that can happen? Oh wait.

BERLIN (Reuters) - A woman in Germany who became pregnant after an online sex auction has won a court battle to force the Web site that hosted the sale to reveal the names of the winners, so she can find out who's the father.

Six different men won Internet auctions to have sex with the woman in April and May last year. They were only known to her by their online names, a spokesman for a court in the southwestern city of Stuttgart said Wednesday.

"The woman wanted to discover which one of the men had made her pregnant," the spokesman said. "So she needed their contact details. Of course, if they're not willing to go along with the gene test, she'll have to take them to court."

The woman asked the site's operator to reveal the true identity of the men, but it refused, citing a confidentiality clause in its terms and conditions.

The court ruled in her favor, saying the child's right to know who its father was took precedence.

The court declined to give the woman's age and nationality.

I wonder if the 'winner' gets a refund :|

 

[theotherguy]

Doesn't that constitute prostitution?

Speaking of getting sex over the internet... I wonder what happened with that chick who wanted an Epic mount in World of Warcraft and was offering sex to anyone who got one for her.

So he sends his stuff in a bottle or something?

Well, Cpt Stern posted the article here, so yeah, the thread title was something like "An epic mount for an epic mount!"

So? It's not illegal.

 

[theotherguy]

So? It's not illegal.

I suppose it must not be in Germany, but it definitely is here.

 

[Social Bacon]

Not even in all parts of the US, there's several places where it is legal.

She got it, in an hour.

 

[Krynn72]

Hahah, its funny how she talks like earning an item in a video by working for it is lamer and more degrading than selling your body and becoming a whore for an video game item is.

"oh, cpt.stern..."
"What? Who's that, then?"
"oh! nobody! You know I only love you, stigmata."

I don't know which is worse...selling yourself to get a virtual item...or spending hundreds of hours acquiring virtual money to buy real sex. You could go to a bar and find the drunkest chick and bring her home an awful lot easier.

 

[bbson john]

She is not beautiful. I feel no pity.

 

[Jintor]

I would say that's kinda shallow, but this is the interwebs.

 

[Druckles]

Um... I don't get the court's ruling. The child's right to know is the child's right, not the mothers. If the child wanted to know his father, then surely he/she could ask. If they don't want to know, then the logic falls down the drain.

 

[bbson john]

But it will be much harder to find the father if it is years later.
