According to the article in UK it's legal to offer sex for money, as long as you're the only person doing it in a particular location (because otherwise the location is a brothel and operating a brothel is a criminal offense). In light of this that statement makes much more sense.
- DanBC 10y agoIt's even legal to sell sex for money in a brothel, so long as you're not the one operating it. http://www.cps.gov.uk/legal/p_to_r/prostitution_and_exploitation_of_prostitution/#a14 http://www.cps.gov.uk/legal/p_to_r/prostitution_and_exploita... > It is not illegal to sell sex at a brothel provided the sex worker is not involved in management or control of the brothel. A house occupied by one woman and used by her alone for prostitution, is not a brothel (Gorman v Standen, Palace Clarke v Standen (1964) 48 Cr App R 30).
- robryk 10y agoSo what happens if two people independently rent rooms in the same apartment and sell sex there? Neither the owner of the apartment nor any of those two people need to be aware of that being a brothel, and the sex workers themselves are arguably not operating it either. Does the crime of operating a brothel not require mens rea?
