"In its report, Paris-Match said that Ms Dehar was typical of the modern prostitution scene in Paris.
Thanks to police crackdowns and the growth of the internet, the old nightclub-based hostess networks run by pimps and protected by criminal gangs have all but vanished.
Instead the market is dominated by "independents" - many of them students.
"Footballers are their preferred prey. The best-informed know what establishments they like to frequent," Paris-Match said.
Mr Ribery - a convert to Islam who is married and has two children - has been interviewed by police.
However, as his lawyer Sophie Battai points out, he was questioned solely as a witness and there is no indication that charges are being prepared against him.
But if that were to happen - if he were "placed under judicial investigation" in the affair - his career on the French team could be in jeopardy.
As the sports minister Rama Yade said on national radio on Friday: "The French football shirt is sacred. It cannot be worn by someone who is under judicial investigation." "

Prostitutes now prey on unsuspecting helpless men.
As with rape-victims, who aren't really victims at all, but were really asking for it since it is evident that rapist can't control their hormones.
Hrmph.

well the wording is of course wrong. its a transaction, not a predator and prey issue . But i suppose what the bbc author was trying to term "preying" is with respect to the disclosure of the girl's age. the reason the french football player is under scrutiny right now is not because he had sex with a prostitute, but whether he had paid for sex with an under-aged girl. if information was withheld then i guess you could call the footballer "unsuspecting" in that regard.
that said, its still outrageous to see that the police and courts are willing to hold off the judicial investigation til after the world cup so that the french team can have its players
more support for spain or germany to win the world cup instead!!!!
sorry not the bbc correspondent. bbc just quoted the words of Paris Match apparently.
Funny how if you add a B(ribery) to his name :)
I love this country.
Extra win for:
1) The minister in charge completely disregarding Ribery's constitutional right to a presumption of innocence.
2) By doing so, the Minister technically committed a relatively serious criminal offense in France.
No surprises about them holding off charges until after the Cup. Typical French in all respects, not only for the way they break and bend rules when it suits them, but also because NOTHING gets between the French and "foot".
