Yesterday, the Department of Justice announced the arrests of three men charged with operating an interstate prostitution ring patronized by high tech and pharmaceutical executives, doctors, professors, lawyers, scientists, accountants, elected officials, military officers, and government contractors with security clearances.
Nearly 2,000 sex trade survivors, women’s and human rights advocates, anti-trafficking organizations, frontline service providers, and concerned individuals from over 60 countries signed an open letter urging the South African government to reject a Bill that repeals all criminal offences related to prostitution, effectively decriminalizing the sex trade (the “Jeffery Bill”).
