Sexy Lingerie and Passport Control

It has been reported in the UK press today that a Brazilian woman suspected of being involved in the sex industry was refused entry to the UK after border officials discovered only three T-shirts, a dressing gown and a large quantity of sexy lingerie in her luggage. When the 32-year-old woman arrived at Newcastle Airport on a flight from Geneva, she told UK Border Agency officers that she was only on a four-day visit. Suspicions were raised when she could not say what she would be doing in the UK other than "seeing Newcastle city centre".

Checks revealed that the woman had been refused entry to the UK at Belfast City Airport only three months before - although she sought to conceal this by replacing the passport containing the refusal stamps with a new Brazilian passport.

She was turned back at Belfast on January 15 because UK Border Agency officers became suspicious over her vague reasons for coming to the city and conducted a baggage search.

This revealed a collection of sexy lingerie, sexual paraphernalia including a diary/address book containing details for numerous male contacts, escort agencies and sex sites.

Julie Holloway Director Feeling Sexy Lingerie said "well spotted - but also a little worrying as whenever we go on holiday I always take some sexy lingerie with us just to make the hot nights just a little more spicey ... but in fairness my suitcase is also normally packed with dozens of pairs of shoes"
