Two ordinary young girls lured into the sex trade. The horrifying true story of life behind the curtains of the Red Light District.
Growing up in a quiet, middle-class suburb outside of Amsterdam, childhood best friends Anna and Olivia had their whole lives ahead of them. But every parent's worst nightmare came true when the teenagers fell in with the wrong crowd. Eleven years their senior, Ricardo was charming and good-looking - and Anna and Olivia easy prey. Blind to his grooming, the girls were soon trapped in a terrifying cycle of sexual and physical abuse.

But their nightmare was only just beginning.

Trafficked to the neon-lit windows of Amsterdam's Red Light District, Anna and Olivia were forced to work as prostitutes, servicing countless men night after night against their will.

Body for Rent reveals the disturbing truth behind Amsterdam's Red Light District, and the shocking ease with which ordinary girls can be exploited. But despite the unimaginable horrors they endured, the damage done to their bodies and their minds, their friendship remained as strong as ever, giving them hope that one day, they would escape...

Childhood best friends, Anna Hendricks and Olivia Smit were forced into prostitution at the age of 16, eventually working for 5 and 7 years respectively in Amsterdam's Red Light District. Having endured years of unspeakable horrors and abuse, the two women eventually found the strength, through their friendship, to escape and begin to rebuild their lives. Tim Tate is a best-selling author, investigative journalist and multiple award-winning documentary film-maker. He has published 16 works of non-fiction, including the internationally best-selling Slave Girl (John Blake, 2009), which told the story of a young British woman sex-trafficked to Holland's prostitution industry.
