From 1 April, a man paying for sex with a prostitute who is being exploited through force, deception or threats is breaking the law – regardless of whether or not he knows she is selling her body against her will.

The new legislation, enforceable from today, means that people who pay for sex in brothels can be arrested and appear before the courts, which we hope will act as a deterrent to others."
