Christopher Cox

Inciting Prostitution for Gain *

Sentence

12 months imprisonment

Christopher Cox advertised a free room on Craigslist in exchange for sexual services from young women, expecting them to cook, clean, and provide sexual favours. Undercover researchers from ITV's Kyle Files posed as interested parties and documented his offers, including demands for women to wear bikinis and engage in sexual acts. Police investigations revealed messages confirming these arrangements, and a victim reported a 'sex for rent' setup where she was required to sleep in his bed and provide sexual favours. The incidents occurred around 2018-2019, leading to his arrest and conviction.

Pleaded guilty to two counts of inciting prostitution for gain and one count of controlling prostitution for gain.
