There have been busts by police of apartments with 16-17 year olds working for the cam sites posing as 18+.
Age of consent in Bulgaria is 14+ but shooting porn is very illegal while ironically prostituion is legal.
My guess is especially with foreign-shot films it's a lot more widespread than most people realise
It's crazy, and people do crazy stuff for a quick buck.
