‘Soft on Crime’ Sacramento Sparks Prostitution Boom in Los Angeles

Los Angeles is in crisis as public prostitution becomes normal across vast swathes of the city and police can do little to stop it under new California laws, according to a new report from the New York Post. City officials told The Center Square while the Figueroa Corridor in South Central is gaining the most national media attention, major public prostitution scenes in the Hollywood and Century corridors are also causes for concern, and that due to intimidation, reporting for crimes associated with prostitution is only a small fraction of the real total. The report outlines how a 40 block area of South Central is covered by hundreds of prostitutes, some charging as little as $40 for some acts, with “10 girls on the corner, condoms on the ground,” all in “broad daylight.”
