Question For the English

Is prostitution legal in england? I'm
reading this article on yahoo about
homicide.E.D prostitutes and it keeps
calling them "sex workers". The phrase
kind of makes me wonder if it's legal
there. It's illegal here (except in
nevada).

Illegal as far as I know but they get
protection from the police to an extent.
I keep on seeing that story on the news, 3
dead and one missing it's so sad they
think they're looking for a serial killer

Prostitution is definitely not legal here.
I think 'sex workers' is probably just a
politically correct term?

I thought it was legal in certain areas
where you aren't annoying neighbours etc.
Which they call a red light zone.
I just looked it up online, it says there
are red light zones in the uk which are
prostitution tolerance zones.
Its legal to prostitute if you are over
18yrs old and to live on the money you
earn from it.
However its illegal to pimp or run a
brothel.
So it seems as long as you're 18+, working
on the streets not in a brothel or with a
pimp, and only do it in the allocated red
light zones its legal and you dont get
arrested.
The news thing about the serial killer
theory said they are looking for a 5th sex
worker now
'police flooded the red light area of
ipswich with officers overnight in a bid
to catch a feared serial killer after
three prostitutes were found dead and two
more reported missing.'

meant its not legal on the whole but its
'tolerated' in the red light districts so
u dont get arrested...Oh I dunno.

Prostitution is legal in germany although
I think its called something different,
look up red light district online in major
cities they have like prostitute
neighborhoods where barely dressed and
naked women dance in windows u can walk
down the streets and watch through the
window or pay for sexual favors etc even
stay the night with em if u pay for these
favors, some areas are highly dangerous
with drugs etc but some actually have cops
that walk aroudn to keep order , crazy
european things I tell ya , im not a fan
of the red light district at all

Just thought i'd update..Cos they found
the other 2 missing women, they think.
'police hunting a possible serial killer
targeting prostitutes said they had found
two more bodies on tuesday and that they
believed five sex workers had now been
found dead in the last ten days.'

haven't found any clues yet?

nothing's been released to the press but I
imagine they are taking any dna they can
find. They haven't even mentioned how
exactly these women were killed, have
they?

Doesnt look like it since no arrests have
been made so far. They have to do post
mortems to determine whether for sure they
are all linked, so far they said there are
'striking similarities' so it looks like
it. All in the same area.

'the most notorious such killer was the
19th century mur.Derer known as "jack the
ripper", who was blamed for the deaths of
five prostitutes in east london in 1888
but was never found.
The most prolific was peter sutcliffe,
called the "yorkshire ripper", who
mur.Dered 13 women, mainly prostitutes, in
northern england from 1975 to 1980 before
he was caught.'
its all so sick.
It goes on to say about how with the
'yorkshire ripper' the mur.Ders happened
over a period of years. This now is 5
women in 10 days.

Wait green, they said one of the girls was
suffocated/strangled, here's the quote
"the three victims who have been named
were identified as gemma adams, 25, whose
body was found dec. 2; tania nicol, 19,
whose body was found friday; and
24-year-old anneli alderton, whose body
was found sunday. Police said alderton
— who was last seen on a train — was
asphyxiated. It appeared she had been
strangled and that she was not sexually
assaulted, police said.
The condition of the bodies of adams and
nicol — both of whom were found in water
— has prevented investigators from
determining a cause of death or whether
they were sexually assaulted."
