The Canberra Times brings word that the new Chief Police Officer, Roman Quaedvlieg, wants to get the police more involved in the crime surrounding the legal sex industry.
Mr Quaedvlieg said police forces regularly received information concerning criminal activity regarding prostitution.
Those issues often related to drugs, overstaying of visas and occasionally sexual servitude or exploitation of minors…
”Whilst a prostitution industry can be regulated, it still attracts the kind of people around which crime fringes do occur,” Mr Quaedvlieg told an ACT budget estimates hearing.
On the other hand, if the Office of Regulatory Services could manage more than one pre-arranged inspection every five years the dodgy element might move on to less regulated pastures.
