Description | PROVIDENCE — The State of Rhode Island has a loophole in its prostitution law big enough to drive a “city bus through,” according to the attorney general’s office.
But that’s hardly news. As has been discussed on talk radio, street corners and the halls of the General Assembly for years, prostitution is allowed in the Ocean State — as long as it’s performed indoors.
The news may be, however, just how difficult it has been to close the loophole, which allows dozens of suspected brothels to operate across the state, some just a few blocks from the mayor’s office in downtown Providence. |
