Prostitution and Sex Trafficking Law

Prostitution and sex trafficking law addresses the illegal aspects of selling and buying sexual services, often linked to organized crime. Prostitution involves individuals exchanging sex for money, which is legal in some places, but illegal in many others. Sex trafficking, however, is a crime where individuals are coerced or deceived into sexual exploitation. Organized crime groups may profit from both, often exploiting vulnerable individuals. Laws aim to prevent and punish trafficking, protect victims, and disrupt the criminal networks involved. Understanding these laws helps shed light on the complexities of consent, exploitation, and the legal landscape surrounding sexual services.
