Teen call girl Tiffany Taylor sent dozens of messages offering sex for cash in a desperate bid to make money before she went missing, a court has been told.

The 16-year-old disappeared in July 2015 after allegedly meeting Rodney Wayne Williams, 65, for paid sex arranged through the Oasis website.

Her body has never been found.

Williams has pleaded not guilty in the Brisbane Supreme Court to murdering Tiffany after allegedly picking her up from a Logan motel.

Messages between the pair showed Williams agreed to pay $500 for sex, but he says it never happened.

Prosecutor Philip McCarthy QC has told the jury that in the days before Tiffany disappeared she sent and received hundreds of Oasis messages.

“I need money ASAP. I need to pay my rent and phone bill,” one message shown to the jury from the teen on July 10 reads.

A profile named Shakz replies: “Centre link (sic) ain’t helping U?”

Tiffany replies “no” saying she is an orphan and her parents are dead.

Earlier in the day, the teenager offered another profile named Junior184 sex for $400 but the user replied it was “way to (sic) dear”.

To another, she says “I am looking for a “sugur (sic) daddy”.

The teenager repeatedly offers sex for cash, saying she urgently needs money to pay her bills.

Some profiles questioned her age. Others showed sympathy for her situation. But many attempted to barter the price down, with one offering to pay $40 for 30 minutes.

The court has heard the teenager was living at the $100 per night Waterford Motor Inn with her boyfriend Gregory Hill, who was unemployed.

An Oasis message log shows that on July 12, Tiffany was communicating with the profile Muddles54, who she offered sex for money.

Mr McCarthy said it was Williams.

Tiffany’s Oasis messages abruptly ended on the same day at 11.26am, he said.

Her last message simply read: “Hey”.

The trial continues on Monday.
