Pittsburgh councilman targeting massage parlors with licensing bill to prevent sex trafficking
PITTSBURGH (AP) – A Pittsburgh city councilman wants to license massage parlors and their employees, and have the businesses keep lists of their customers, in an effort to prevent human trafficking in sex workers.
“It is going on under our noses right now,” Councilman Doug Shields, a Democrat, said Monday at a news conference announcing the bill he intends to introduce Tuesday. “It’s a horrible story. It’s one that needs a response. And it needs the cooperation of everybody.”
If enacted, the ordinance would require businesses to keep records of each massage, which would help ensure the businesses aren’t selling sex or employing people who are forced into sex work by, Shields said. It also would protect employees from prosecution if it’s determined they were coerced into sex work.
