LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM – 19.07.09. Thierry Schaffauser joins other sex workers on a march through Soho in central London against new laws that campaigners claim will increase criminalisation of sex workers and push prostitution underground on Sunday 19 July 2009 in London, England. The Policing and Crime Bill 2009 will create a new offence of paying for sex with a prostitute who is “controlled for gain” and modifies existing offences – such as loitering and kerb-crawling.
