There are 5,000 prostitutes under the age of 18 in the UK, according to a charity report.
Save the Children's figures suggest three-quarters of these are girls, and 1.8 million children are being abused in the sex industry across the world.

The report, marking 200 years since the end of the British slave trade, says 1.2 million children and babies are trafficked every year worldwide.

The gangs involved make an annual £15bn profit, the charity says.
