Who knows about the law?

Question

Ok here is something I just don't understand: if prostitution is illegal in basically every place except Nevada I think ( I'm not really sure about this) then how can states allow escort services to operate? I mean I'm sure every single girl that's an escort doesn't sell herself but from what I've heard a lot of them do.

Answer 1

Nevada's prostitution laws are different in each county....it depends on how big the population is. In the counties it is legal, it's only legal to own a brothel....not walk around on the street. If you are prostituting and not associated with a brothel, it's only a misdemeanor. As far as "escort service" is legal b/c technically, you pay for time, not sex. However, it is almost impossible to enforce prostitution laws for "escorts" for obvious reasons. Hope this helps!

Answer 2

The same way "massage parlors" operate. They are offering what seems to be a legit service on the surface, however what goes on behind closed doors is not the same. Prostitution is illegal (although for the life of me I cannot figure out why. It's the world's oldest proffession.) but escort service is treated the same as a dating service. Hope that helps.

Answer 3

Because it isn't technically solicity prostitution. Unless you can prove that sex was traded for money, then their is no crime. Unless you can prove that a crime is taking place, then escorting is not illegal. Sure most escorts have sex with their clients, but not all of them.

Answer 4

Yeah...it's illegal. You basically pay an escort for her time, not for sex...sort of a loophole, but still illegal and they get busted all the time.

Answer 5

Law presume that every adult (major) citizen knows the law unless he is a lunatic or mad. Ignorance of law is no excuse.

Answer 6

Because the pay the cops

Answer 7

SUPER ILLEGAL
