That's a horrible story that happened 19 years ago.

How on earth, JSouthworth, did you manage to take a thread about "London UK Rates" and change the topic to what you suggest is "police corruption"???

We were discussing rates earlier, the hourly rate would obviously be dependant on, among other things, whether the shoot has been arranged by the model to take place in a studio, in which case she has to cover the cost of renting the studio.

As for police corruption, that certainly does exist in the UK, whether or not you choose to admit it.

The figures quoted there are in the right ball park, but there's a big difference between £70.00 per day and £45.00 per hour. Nationally, about £20.00 to £25.00 per hour would be average for fashion modelling, whereas £30.00 to £45.00 per hour would be typical for nude work.

I would hate for anyone to place any reliance on the above statement.

The UK has a large number of nude models (probably a significantly higher proportion than most other countries) typically charging the rates I mentioned above, ie £25 to £35 per hour outside London. Those models tend to be very busy and hence gain a lot of skill and experience very quickly. Some of those models will model clothed, but not usually for any less than their nude rate. Photographers are generally happy to pay their nude rate though due to the model's experience, poise etc.

Non-nude internet models (as distinct from mainstream agency models) generally struggle to get much paid work at all in the UK (there are a few well-known exceptions) hence they tend to be much less experienced and skilled than nude models, so they're generally overlooked as the experience of a nude model is preferred even for clothed work.

Consequently, many non-nude internet models in the UK struggle to get anything other than TF, or perhaps £10 to £15 per hour on occasion if they're exceptionally lucky. If you're a nude model who also has a reasonable wardrobe (many don't have a wardrobe at all) then £25 to £35 is achievable, but be prepared to fend off those photographers who seek to negotiate a reduced fee for non-nude.

There are always exceptions, but the above is a more realistic representation of what a non-nude internet model can generally expect here, compared to a nude model who is also prepared to model clothed. Non-nude internet models can expect to do a bit better if they have a USP, perhaps exceptionally fine lingerie, latex or other non-nude fetish wardrobes.
