Paterson police are cracking down on prostitution in the city, while there are calls from some to legalize the profession. And we are going to increase those efforts to make sure that we stomp it out.
Police arrested 50 people in the city Wednesday who were involved in some way in prostitution. Undercover cops posed as Johns to bust prostitutes.
Then they dressed as prostitutes to arrest the Johns. But there are some who are calling for decriminalizing sex work, including Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Kamala Harris, who says it's about protecting women and children.
Still, there are Barton street Louisiana prostitutes who say that making prostitution legal implies that it is a choice. They're kind of forced into it because they have nowhere to go.
Covenant House is the largest rescue group for sex trafficking survivors in New Jersey. Covenant House runs almost entirely on private donations.
It just started using a new screening tool to better identify trafficking victims. In the case of the Paterson bust, the youngest prostitute arrested was 25 years old.
