Seattle pushes for law targeting pimps and johns in prostitution-ridden area despite opposition
Fox News
Seattle City Council's Public Safety Committee listened to strong opposition on a bill targeting johns and pimps in zones known for prostitution before passing it.
FOX 13 in Seattle reported that one law that was removed in 2020 that makes prostitution loitering a misdemeanor is being considered by city leaders for reinstatement to help control the blighted spot. Greg Wehner is a breaking news reporter for Fox News Digital.
In a video presented last month during a Public Safety Committee meeting, time-lapse footage showed several women being trafficked and sold on a street corner along Aurora Avenue from midnight to 1 a.m. Story tips and can be sent to Greg.Wehner@Fox.com and on Twitter @GregWehner.
