Manhattan DA’s Office will no longer prosecute prostitution cases
- Thread starter TonySopahno
- Start date
Not just prostitution, but unlicensed massage. Have to believe other municipalities will follow.
The Manhattan District Attorney’s Office announced on Wednesday that it would no longer prosecute prostitution and unlicensed massage, putting the weight of one of the most high-profile law enforcement offices in the United States behind the growing movement to change the criminal justice system’s approach to sex work.
But, .........
The office will continue to prosecute other crimes related to prostitution, including patronizing sex workers, promoting prostitution and sex trafficking, and said that its policy would not stop it from bringing other charges that stem from prostitution-related arrests.

This is in a stark contrast to only a couple of years ago when the LE tried to tie every spa to human trafficking, and many raids were accompanied by DHS officers. Have they learned the lessons that most amp ladies are not victims of trafficking but just trying to make a living with limited language skill and take care of their families?
That's not what they're publicizing. Their statement indicate:
They still think customers and managers can and should be prosecuted
Prostituted women should not be prosecuted, presumably because most of them are trafficked or coerced by economic injustice and by income inequality
Women that work as managers or provide together can still be prosecuted
The DAs may not have time to prosecute customers, managers, etc. if they are overwhelmed by attacks on police, other violent crime, or due to decreasing numbers of LEO to make the arrests.
Even with the Nordic model (prosecute men but don't prosecute women), providers have complained that they can't work kegally if customers are subject to prosecution. The typical response from the reformers is that they still don't want to encourage prostitution or make it easier for the women.
