#SLEAZE ON TOUR

Kids’ charity concern as seedy escorts tout their X-rated visits to Scotland on Twitter

DOZENS of escorts are advertisin­g their kinky services to Scots on social media as they tour the UK.

Several Twitter accounts belonging to escorts are openly touting for business during visits to Scotland.

The women, who appear to mainly visit Edinburgh and Glasgow, offer a variety of services.

Their tweets often include generic hashtags for Scots cities in a bid to target customers in those locations.

But several profiles belonging to escorts who specialise in extreme sexual acts also share graphic pictures, videos and descriptio­ns of the services they offer.

The profiles, which were all publicly available when seen by the Record, shared the tweets with no sensitive content warnings.

Concerns have been raised by children’s charity the NSPCC about youngsters accidental­ly stumbling on graphic content on social media.

One user calls herself Jessica Le Bond and says she worked in Dundee before moving to England at the end of last year.

She regularly shares messages with graphic descriptio­ns of sex acts and included a mobile phone number for customers to contact her on.

Another, who uses the name Mistress Real and visited Edinburgh in December, shared explicit images of extreme sexual practices relating to sadomasoch­ism.

Twitter user Chloe Vega, who has since deleted her profile, tweeted: “So happy to be back in my beloved #Edinburgh. My time is filling up but if you get in touch quick I might be able to squeeze you in between my lovely thighs.”

One worker, who calls herself LeedsMidor­i, tweeted: “Touring #Glasgow #Scotland on 17th-20th January. Voluptuous #BBW #escort who offers full girlfriend experience … as well as social and companions­hip services. Info on my #Adultwork profile.”

Another who uses the name Madison Jenae and appears to be based in Ireland wrote: “If you are in #Glasgow and want to meet, let me know. I’ll be available from 10-10 #Scotland #Escort #UK #Ebony.”

Twitter user Amelia Rose Chambers, who is normally based in London, shared some racy snaps and tweeted: “Come celebrate #BurnsNight­2018 by keeping my bed warm…. Touring #Edinburgh this week only. Inquire within...x”

A spokesman for NSPCC Scotland said: “We have repeatedly called for social media companies to do far more to keep children safe and we believe they should be held to account when they fall short.”

The Record approached several of the people advertisin­g escort services for comment.

When asked if she was concerned that children could accidental­ly access the content, Amelia Rose Chambers asked for payment and threatened to sue us.

LeedsMidor­i said she had taken the concerns on board. She added that she “will not be using generic hashtags in future, as I have no interest in my material being available to anything other than its intended audience”.

Twitter did not respond to our request for a comment.
