Prostitute goes back to 'work' 30 minutes after childbirth

A prostitute went back to work in a notorious red light district just 30 minutes after giving birth, a Police Community Support Office has revealed.

Jacqui Fairbanks, has been helping the sex workers in Hull's Hessle Road for ten years and says there are currently around 40 of them working in the area at various times.


Many come from backgrounds where they have been abused physically and sexually while many of them are homeless and sleep on sofas.

'One woman had a baby and, within half an hour, was back out on the streets. That's how desperate some of these women are,' she told the Hull Daily Mail.

'This isn't Pretty Woman, I'm afraid. Some rich punter isn't going to come along and sweep these women off their feet and live happily ever after.

'Our problem is that these women will not come and deal with us. Their self-esteem is so low that they enjoy the attention they receive and that is really sad.'
