MOVE TO LEGALIZE ESCORT WORK IN COLORADO

A state senate bill proposes dropping criminal penalties for privately selling or paying for sex between adults in Colorado.

Pimping would remain illegal.

Escort Ella West told The Denver Post: “I didn’t realize we were doing that well in terms of the perception of sex work. I will say the bill itself looks pretty damn good in its current form.”

Senator Nick Hinrichsen, a Democrat from Pueblo and one of the four sponsors, said: "I don’t believe the government should be involved in the bedroom of consenting adults.”
