    Nicole runs a high-class escort agency in the West Midlands, whose clients include women as well as men. Her male escorts host "in-calls" for female clients at a large country cottage, three quarters of a mile away from the nearest town. The exterior gives no clue as to what goes on inside and instead looks more like a French chalet.



    It's like an ad for the place.

    Exactly... ...so why won't anything be done about? Well, maybe something will be done, but history tells me otherwise.

    I don't understand how something like this (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/magazine/7914639.stm) can be so blatantly mentioned in the media and yet nothing is done to stop it. It IS illegal, right?

    Laws regarding prostitution are extremely and necessarily full of loopholes.

    There is nothing legally wrong with advertising an escort service. It's a legitimate business.

    There is nothing wrong with two people having consensual sex.

    There is nothing wrong with two people exchanging money.

    It's very hard to actually outlaw the sex-trade. Personally I don't think anything should be done about it. It exists in a grey area. It will never disappear. The only issue I have is obviously people being forced into it and so on, but that's a different issue.

    There an interesting Q&A here about the issue and status of British law: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/7736436.stm

    Thanks for your input. My feelings are that it should be made legal, but strictly regulated as it is in the Netherlands.

    Also there are laws regarding "mini-brothels' in the UK if I'm not mistaken. I've not read the article linked and that might be mentioned in it.

    As for articles about illegal activity I'm not sure what your looking for OP.

    There will and should always be articles detailing illegal activity, be in accounts of this kind of "underground" activity, some kind of scam or something else.
