Her death shattered a tight-knit family that would never accept the police version of events. It also reflected the seemingly intractable nature of policing the commercial sex trade.https://nyti.ms/2Cbi98I

And that's why prostitution should be legalised and regulated. It's very easy to exploit someone when they are scared of the police.

This article makes no sense. It says the woman was well familar with ritual arrests, yet she panicked and fell to her doom when she realized one was coming. Where have all the editors gone......long time passing...............
