Manhattan to Stop Prosecuting Prostitution, Part of Nationwide Shift

as of April 2021,  NYC no longer considers Sex work / Prostitution illegal.   Shortly thereafter, other cities such as Baltimore, Chicago, Boston etc made similar announcements. 

That applies to providers only.

The article makes clear that clients were still going to be arrested and prosecuted. So, right now and where I live, _I'm_ assuming all the legal risk.

Yes, I think the trend has been to assume that all sex workers are victims, whether they are being trafficked by someone else or just exploited by those who hire them.  Clients are still at risk under this lens.  I very much support anti-trafficking efforts, but it's unfortunate that there still seems to be a strong belief that one adult cannot simply choose to engage in this line of work while others choose to pay for their efforts.

So NYC has a Sweden model?
