Three individuals have been arrested on charges of operating a “high-end brothel network” in Massachusetts and Virginia with a clientele that included elected officials, military officers and government contractors with security clearances, the Justice Department announced Wednesday.
What’s weird is that loophole exists and people don’t abuse it.
Like, I get the streetwalkers selling $10 BJs dont, but for “high end” organizations like this, just stick an old school camcorder in the room and let the John keep whatever grainy unidentifiable footage they make during the encounter.
If you’re ever investigated, you’re in the clear. If not, then no one even has to know.
Nah. A group tried this in Pensacola and got busted. Can’t remember the details, but they were trying to pass prostitution off as pr0n because camera. Didn’t fly.
Maybe not as simple as “film it and you’re good”, but an entire ‘studio’ (GDP) was relatively recently shut down because they told the women it wouldn’t be seen by anyone (a lie), and many of the women felt assaulted afterwards. Besides just for money, I am positive that the ‘producers’ for this were using the porn loophole to rape these women. On top of that, there are plenty of other ‘studios’ that are all about hiring escorts and filming the encounter.
It’s very much a loophole that is abused. Whether or not the people who are responsible are caught, that’s another story.
The only thing that can help with this is legalizing and regulating sex work so that people involved don’t have to (and in many cases, cannot) do it completely in the shadows anymore.

I bet employment fraud would have a bigger jail sentence than prostitution.
