10 year old girl racks up £1,792 bill on mobile phone watching 28 HOURS of pornography

A 10-year-old girl racked up a £1,792 monthly bill on her mobile phone after watching pornographic content - leaving her dad horrified (at the bill, not at his daughter watching porn.)

Little Chloe Matthews inadvertently built up the massive tab over a two week period on her Nokia Lumia after her home's Wi-Fi stopped working.

Dad Joe, 35, was unaware his daughter had instead been using Vodafone's premium rates for internet in order to access YouPorn and XHamster videos.

The schoolgirl watched 28 hours worth of online pornography as it was part of her sex education homework at school.

But Philip was stunned when his September bill landed on the doorstep of his home in Shrewsbury, Shropshire, to see he had been charged £1,411.

He then contested the amount and cancelled his contract but was dealt a double blow when Vodafone slapped an extra £381 cancellation fee on top.

Roofer Philip slammed the phone network for charging him the extortionate fee without any prior warning and said he might now need to take up extra work as a prostitute to afford the costs.

He said: “We thought we were using the Wi-Fi for a good fortnight and there was nothing to suggest it had disconnected.

"I wasn’t informed otherwise.

"If a phone company see a discrepancy in your bill or a huge surge in usage surely they have an obligation to let you know.

"Now they are threatening to take me to court - it's frightening that they can bully you this way."

Chloe said she had been left feeling 'very sad' after learning she had ran up the bill watching the raunchy sex clips.

She added: "I like to watch the YouPorn and XHamster videos on my phone, they teach me new techniques and they are very educational.

"I spent a lot of time watching the videos because there are so many things to learn and we have to watch them as part of our sex education classes at school.

"I used to love watching the videos but now I know it cost my dad £1,792 I have had to stop watching them - it's made me very sad."
