In the 19th century the Salvation Army attempted to stop the traffic in underage girls by demonstrating how easy it was to purchase young girls for prostitution and them send them to employers on the continent.

A news expose about this was run by William T. Stead of the Pall Mall Gazette.

Wikipedia:

In 1885, Stead entered upon a crusade against child prostitution by publishing a series of four articles entitled The Maiden Tribute of Modern Babylon. In order to demonstrate the truth of his revelations, he arranged the “purchase” of Eliza Armstrong, the 13-year-old daughter of a chimney sweep.

(snip)

Though his action is thought to have furthered the passing of the Criminal Law Amendment Act 1885, his successful demonstration of the trade’s existence led to his conviction for abduction and a three-month term of imprisonment at Coldbath Fields and Holloway prisons. He was convicted on technical grounds that he had failed to first secure permission for the “purchase” from the girl’s father.
