The girl was taken by her mother to Liaisons Executive Retreat, a brothel in the eastern inner-city suburb of Edgecliff, and was made to work there for two weeks.
According to The Ten Network, she was forced to serve more than 18 clients over a period of 13 hours, charging up to 330 dollars an hour and working under the name 'Layla', reports News.com.au.
The father reported the matter to the police after the girl broke down when she told him she had been subjected to acts of violence.

The mother has pleaded not guilty to the child prostitution charges and will face court again next month.
