"About 1.4 billion euros could be expected," Reichel told Friday's Die Welt newspaper about his study "Prostitution – The Unrecognised Economic Factor".
Sofia Rubenstein, 17, got in trouble the way a lot of teens do these days.
Her incessant text-messaging racked up a huge phone bill on the family's wireless plan.
