“Because of their arrests, these women will face unemployment, poverty, and homelessness, in some cases deportation, and in all cases public shaming.”
The arrest of a woman accused of providing sexual services to New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft has ignited outrage among sex worker advocates, who are questioning why low-level workers are being arrested.
The arrests"[bring] to light the intent of laws designed to assist those who have been thought to be trafficked," Cristine Sardina, the director of sex worker advocacy group Desiree Alliance told Newsweek in an email.
Authorities said the investigation, which resulted in 300 arrests and landed Kraft with two misdemeanor charges of soliciting prostitution that he has denied, focused on human trafficking.
