The world’s second oldest profession may lose some of its allue. A new law may allow sex workers to sue the men who use and abuse them.
Under the measure, which now goes to the Senate, the prostitute would have to prove in court that the pimp profited from the sex trade, recruited prostitutes or trafficked and maintained them. The pimp could be held accountable for his victim’s financial losses, personal injuries, diseases and mental and emotional anguish.
