Prosecutors in Shanghai have charged the owner of a small beauty parlor in Jiangsu Province with selling her daughter's virginity and then forcing the 17-year-old girl to have sex with the businessman who paid to deflower her.

Prosecutors allege a businessman from Shanghai surnamed Chen paid the mother 10,000 yuan (US$1,235) for the right to ravish her daughter.

Prosecutors wouldn't say, however, if they have taken any legal action against the businessman.

According to officials, the mother surnamed Kuang ran a hair salon in Wujiang, Jiangsu Province and several months ago she asked her daughter to work for her.

The daughter, who Shanghai Daily will only identify as Xiao, worked as a shampoo girl.

After her arrival in the salon, a frequent client surnamed Yan noticed the good-looking girl and asked her mother about the possibility of sleeping with her.

While many small hair salons engage in prostitution, prosecutors wouldn't say if the beauty parlor in question routinely offered sexual services.

Yan offered 3,500 yuan to sleep with the girl, but Kuang rejected the offer claiming her daughter was a virgin and the price was too low, prosecutors said.

When Yan later told his friend Chen about the cute teenager, the businessman rushed to the hair salon.

Chen took the mother and daughter to a coffee shop in Wujiang on May 30. While Xiao waited elsewhere, Chen and her mother negotiated the price for taking her virginity.

Mom wanted 16,000 yuan, but Chen talked her down to 10,000 yuan, prosecutors said.

Xiao knew nothing of the deal until her mother took her to Chen's apartment in the Baoling Residential Area in Baoshan District later that night.

Xiao's mother forced the girl into Chen's bedroom and became violent when Xiao refused to have sex with the businessman, prosecutors said.

"Kuang slapped her on the face and even hit the girl with a belt," said one prosecutor.

When Xiao finally gave in and agreed to have sex, her mother waited in the dining room, he added.

The next day Xiao was rushed to a local hospital with massive hemorrhaging. After she told doctors what happened, they called the police.

Xiao's mother faces a maximum of 10 years in prison if she is found guilty, according to the Baoshan District Prosecutors' Office.
