MANHATTAN (CN) In a major step toward the decriminalization of sex work, the Manhattan District Attorney Cy Vance told a judge Wednesday that his office will stop prosecuting arrests for prostitution and unlicensed massage.
“For years, rather than seeking criminal convictions, my office has reformed its practice to offer services to individuals arrested for prostitution,” Vance said at a virtual court hearing this morning before Judge Charlotte Davidson. “Now, we will decline to prosecute these arrests outright, providing services and supports solely on a voluntary basis.”

April 21 (UPI) Arrests for prostitution and unlicensed massage in Manhattan will no longer be prosecuted, District Attorney Cy Vance announced Wednesday.
In a virtual appearance in Manhattan Criminal Court, Vance moved to dismiss 914 such cases in what his office said was an effort to reduce the number of unnecessary future contacts between individuals and the criminal justice system.
