Sounds like an arrangement between two consenting adults to me, typically initiated by the female.
Sleazy "Sugar-Daddies" Site Boasts That Soaring Tuition Rates Are Making More Women Desperate to Be Sex Workers
The leading company in this market recently sent out a glowing press release -- heavy with sexist, outdated terms like “coed" -- applauding the explosion of desperate college students and letting its customers know that the pool of available sex workers had grown tremendously. It particularly recommended universities in California as a place where the market is flooded with young women who are willing to pretend to like having sex with you in exchange for the kind of financial relief that used to be the government’s responsibility.
For example, UC Berkley experienced a 67% growth and UC Davis experienced a 220% growth, earning them spots among the "Fastest Growing Sugar Baby Schools of 2012."
A Google search of online write-ups of this press release revealed an array of nasty descriptions of women who go into sex work: “women...of a certain moral caliber,” “kept women,” “looking to sell their dignities,” “declining cultural morals,” and failing to meet university standards of “student integrity and leadership.”
Needless to say, the young women are also bearing most of the legal risk of these kinds of operations. The Web site merely bills itself as encouraging companionship and shifts the responsibility for negotiating the payment for sex--the actual illegal behavior--onto the backs of the women, who aren’t in a financial place to deal with legal fallout if they get caught, unlike their rich clients.

yes, sex between consulting adults, for money, shouldn't be a crime, but nearly everywhere in Puritannical/moralistic America, it's a crime.
No surprise that you skate right past whose fault it is so many kids, and adults, have huge student debt AND can't get jobs.
Here ya go Boo.
open up your checkbook and even YOU can get laid.

To act like it's the fault of one group is childish. It's the culmination of countless things (some of which are the things you would mention), one of which being kids and adults who incur massive debt to major in something that makes them "culturally rich" but doesn't lead to a job.
Slick Willy and Obama are also both culprits in creating an economy where it's basically a requirement to attend school.
Okay, whose fault is it when a kid ends up with a huge student debt?
Hint: It's the kid's.
we have the same problem down here, even though u have to earn some amount b4 u are required to repay student loan debts, but i think they should lower the threshold of income earn to get these clowns to start repaying, higher education should not be free by the taxpayer and become a bad debt over time....
some ppl abuse the system in place by earning less then the threshold...
Slaves to Debt: The Screwed-up Politics of Debt in America
After months of an impending “debtpocalypse,” the dreaded “debt ceiling,” and the “fiscal cliff,” Americans remain preoccupied with debt, public and private. Austerity is what we’re promised for our sins. Millions are drowning, or have already drowned, in a sea of debt -- mortgages gone bad,student loans that may never be paid off, spiraling credit card bills, car loans, payday loans, and a menagerie of new-fangled financial mechanisms cooked up by the country’s “financial engineers” to milk what’s left of the American standard of living.
The world economy almost came apart in 2007-2008, and still may do so under the whale-sized carcass of debt left behind by financial plunderers who found in debt the leverage to get ever richer. Most of them still live in their mansions and McMansions, while other debtors live outdoors, or in cars or shelters, or doubled-up with relatives and friends -- or even in debtor’s prison. Believe it or not, a version of debtor’s prison, that relic of early American commercial barbarism, is back.
In 2013, you can’t actually be jailed for not paying your bills, but ingenious corporations, collection agencies, cops, courts, and lawyers have devised ways to insure that debt “delinquents” will end up in jail anyway. With one-third of the states now allowing the jailing of debtors (without necessarily calling it that), it looks ever more like a trend in the making.
Household debt, which in 1952 was at 36% of total personal income, had by 2006 hit 127%. Even financing poverty became a lucrative enterprise. Taking advantage of the low credit ratings of poor people and their need for cash to pay monthly bills or simply feed themselves, some check-cashing outlets, payday lenders, tax preparers, and others levy interest of 200% to 300% and more. As recently as the 1970s, a good part of this would have been considered illegal under usury laws that no longer exist. And these poverty creditors are often tied to the largest financiers, including Citibank, Bank of America, and American Express.
Credit has come to function as a “plastic safety net” in a world of job insecurity, declining state support, and slow-motion economic growth, especially among the elderly, young adults, and low-income families. More than half the pre-tax income of these three groups goes to servicing debt. Nowadays, however, the “company store” is headquartered on Wall Street.
Debt is driving this system of auto-cannibalism which, by every measure of social wellbeing, is relentlessly turning a developed country into an underdeveloped one.

This happens even with no student loan debt.
yep, it happens everywhere. financial industry has captured govt and is draining the 99% dry of wealth.
