In November 2016, Aleexandra Kefren made international headlines when she appeared on This Morning to discuss a plan to sell her virginity.
Then just 18 years old, the teenager revealed that she would be selling through an agency, which would take a 20 per cent cut – down from a previously-suggested 50 per cent.
Kefren also appeared not have considered the health and safety implications of the plan, instead focussing her attention on money, which she says she was in desperate need of.
A few months later, it was reported that the deal had been done for £2million. In an official statement, she claimed a hotel room had already been booked with an unknown Hong Kong businessman and named the aforementioned agency:
I wanted to sell my virginity with Cinderella Escorts rather than giving it to a future friend who might have left me anyway. And I think many other girls have the same outfit.
How many would possibly forgo their first time in retrospect if they could have £2million instead?
Now, more than a year later, award-winning porn actress and producer Harriet Sugarcookie has caught up with Kefren and delved deeper, conducting a lengthy video interview which reveals the whole story was actually a publicity stunt.
It never happened. There was no bidder – it was a non-existent person.
She then reveals that she was approached online by a man who simply offered her the chance to become famous. Kefren claims his idea was to build her reputation as a model and then use her status to promote Cinderella Escorts by fabricating the story that she was selling her virginity.
When we were talking about the whole plan, I was just 17. He lied to me a lot.
He told me that he would never use my name, so my parents, my friends, everybody from my country would never know it was me.
This was unequivocally untrue. As well as almost being disowned by her parents, Kefren’s face and story were splashed across international media alongside stories which she describes as “media attacks”. She became severely depressed, a condition then aggravated by constant public exposure which led to death threats and, she states, even a number of suicide attempts.
Unsurprisingly, the agency then abandoned her. She says she had received no official payment aside from the booking fees and expenses paid by TV appearances and modelling jobs. Promises had been broken, leaving Kefren struggling alone with global hatred aimed squarely at her instead of the company which had literally written her script of lies. She speaks of regret, stating:
I’m so sorry that I [have been] a very negative influence for girls and teenagers – I don’t want to do that any more.
She then describes receiving hundreds of emails of girls desperate to follow in her fictional footsteps and sell their own virginity, all of which she responded to with the truth: that she had saved her own first time for the “love of her life”.
Press attention has still been focussed often on Cinderella Escorts, with a number of other women since coming out to claim that they too had sold their virginity through the company. Sugarcookie, however, continued her investigation and has since claimed that these reports are false.
Instead, she alleged that these stories are all designed to lure girls into flying to Athens and working in "seedy brothels".
She later summarised her findings in a lengthy video, in which she detailed stories of emotional abuse and bribery designed to fraudulently lure innocent teenagers into low-paid sex work.
Sugarcookie is seeking to raise awareness of the situation – which she describes as a sex trafficking ring operating via media manipulation, the obscuration of various identities and a string of false claims. But one undeniable fact is that Kefren remains the highest-profile victim of the scam which almost cost her life.

Hi everyone. If you have just 5 minutes, I have something really important to share with you.— Harriet Sugarcookie (@HSugarCookie) March 29, 2018
We at Sugarcookie have been working for months to investigate and now expose a major European sex trafficking operation, known as Cinderella Escorts.https://t.co/icFo2PxZJG
If you haven’t heard of Cinderella Escorts, just google their name. They have tones of articles written by @TheSun, @MailOnline and many other publications. Just today The Sun wrote about them.— Harriet Sugarcookie (@HSugarCookie) March 29, 2018
These articles are about how Cinderella Escorts sells girls’ virginities for million of dollars, or how their escorts make $9k a month. These are ALL fake - a publicity stunt by Cinderella Escorts to lure in innocent girls.— Harriet Sugarcookie (@HSugarCookie) March 29, 2018
Every publication that has written about them so far have clearly done zero research. These articles gain a lot of publicity, and many girls reading them contact Cinderella Escorts in the hopes of selling their virginity or becoming top paid escorts for A-List celebrities.— Harriet Sugarcookie (@HSugarCookie) March 29, 2018
What actually happens is that they are tricked into going to Athens and working in seedy brothels. They are paid less than €25 per client. Some even end up in debt due to bogus fees given to them.— Harriet Sugarcookie (@HSugarCookie) March 29, 2018
They never make thousands. They don’t get to work with A-list celebrities. We have video of a girl confessing the “virginity sold for millions” was all a lie.— Harriet Sugarcookie (@HSugarCookie) March 29, 2018
If journalists did their research so many girls would have been saved. Because the sex trafficking scam relies on sending them the articles as a way to get them to believe its legitimate and trustworthy. Who knows how many hundreds of girls have been tricked this way?— Harriet Sugarcookie (@HSugarCookie) March 29, 2018
