''These ladies of the night put there lives at risk every time they ply there trade. It's the worlds oldest profession and one of the most dangerous. The courts tackle the problem by fining their customers which is better than fining the girls, as they then have to work more to pay off the fines. But why cant these girls advertise themselves on the internet and work from home''. liamssoft.
