A man accused of offering housing in exchange for sex has made an appearance in court in what is thought to be the first case of its type in England and Wales.
Christopher Cox, of Cranleigh in Surrey, is alleged to have posted adverts on a classifieds website looking for young or homeless women to stay with him at his home.
The 52-year-old allegedly asked prospective tenants to send him photos of themselves while asking that they wear bikinis and provide sexual services in exchange for a room.
