Online housing adverts have been accused of targeting young, vulnerable homeless people for sexual exploitation.

BBC South East has uncovered housing adverts on websites offering rooms to those without a home in return for sex.

The deals, which are legal, have been found on classified advertising sites.

One advertisement, seen by The Telegraph, appears to ask for a "mutual arrangement" in return for free accommodation.

It says: "Friends with benefits - Nice Room available. Are you female and looking for a free room? No rent, no bills, no deposit. Genuine offer."
