    If this is the full story, what your brother is doing is rape, plain and simple. Consent given under duress is not consent. He's holding her financial situation over her head in order to extort sex from her. Confront him, and report him to the police if necessary.

    if you take the 60% reduction, you can actually do more to get out is the thing, and get somewhere quicker rather then a slower approach

    It does happen, unfortunately. Man, I can't imagine the kind of damage to a person's mental health being in that kind of situation would do.

    She could be making it barely each week maybe even forgoing meals, after all she's an unskilled worker so she can't be making that much at all.

    One could, if one is an unscrupulous scum lacking the most basic elements of humanity.

    She didn't bring anything on herself by being in dire financial straits. She is being exploited because of her situation. There is no way you can defend this (assuming the story is true) without discarding all pretense of empathy, compassion and everything that makes us humans.

    wouldnt it be easier and more comforting to instead barely scrape by and find a new place to live rather than sell yourself for a reduction in rent?

    Damn I clicked on this thread hoping it would be funny... McGill is a good school, so it saddens me your brother is destroying a bright future. I would threaten your brother with legal action - thus keeping the girl out of it. You want him to stop without a) getting arrested and b) her suing him.

    It isn't rape and this wasn't forced on her. She agreed to it. She could say no and continue paying the full amount. Tell her if she wants to be a prostitute she can get a lot more out of it than this.

    I really do hope you bring this up to him op, i'm not sure of your relationship with your brother but hopefully you can get through to him.

    You sound like you've never been under financial pressure.

    Chrysia already said it above:

    It's consent under duress. I mean, maybe you can't out and out prove it's rape, but I'm pretty fucking sure any jury would convict his stupid ass if it went that far.

    Does this count as prostitution?

  15. #35
    Scenario A is that the brother offers to reduce rent in exchange for sex. Scenario B is that he makes no special offer.

    In scenario B, she gets kicked out. In scenario A, the young woman has the choice to turn down the offer and get kicked out, or to take him up on it.

    I don't think it would matter since prostitution is illegal in most states, anyway.

    i didnt read anything in the op that said she was in any dire financial straits. only that she had just graduated high school and put off going to college for the time being to support her younger brother.

    had the op said she was barely scraping by pay check to pay check, asking for money, or even came up with the intial plan of selling herself for a 60% reduction then yes i could see where she was in dire financial straits.

    It could be, but we really don't know entirely what her financial situation is except that it is bad. maybe some more background, what was the rent in the first place and what does she do.

    Imagine how low you have to think about yourself to do something like that to anyone. Just the fact that he think he's doing her a favor reflects his intellectual level quite well.

    You should probably report him to the police, that is illegal but more importantly... highly immoral

    But... this guy is your own brother? I don't know man....... talk this over with him and since he's your own brother I guess at least let him know you might have to take action against him
