At present it is not illegal to pay for sex. Under the new legislation a man will face prosecution if he pays for sex with a woman who is being "controlled for gain" by someone else

Jacqui Smith who has vowed to target men who use women who have been forced in to the sex trade  eeek: - oh dear perhaps she shouldn't be trying to bring this legislation in right now  noooo:

But seriously how effective can this be  -

"hello love - are you a hooker ?"
"What do you charge ?"
"What are you prepared to do ?"
"Are you now or have you ever been controlled for gain  doh:?"

"oh you have - sorry in that case it's illegal and I will drive on. Thank you for your time"

DS You are a genius ~ slap a tax on it and it'll soon die out.
