Banker Facing Charges of Hiring Underage Prostitute Says He Had Sex with Ten Others, All of Age
That's his defense, sounds like
Former UBS banker Juerg Buergrin, who was the head of operations for the Swiss bank in Singapore, is on trial for allegedly having sex with an underage Singaporean prostitute.
The banker's lawyer says he wasn't actively seeking underage sex. In fact, he sought the services of at least 10 other prostitutes ages 20 to 43, Bloomberg News reports.

Well...that's ok, then.
Of course, that leaves the question of how underage is she? I see a slight difference between a girl 2 days shy of her 18th birthday trying to make enough money to get the newest iPhone and a 12 year old submitting to being violated to avoid a fierce beating.
