Pimps in Rhode Island Get Bitchslapped


Addressing what he calls an unjust result of current law, Sen. Frank S. Lombardi (D-Dist. 26, Cranston), in cooperation with the Office of the Attorney General, introduced legislation to help law enforcement target pimps and others who derive proceeds from pandering or permitting prostitution in the state.

The legislation, 2014-S 2820, was passed May 7th by the Senate and now goes to the House of Representatives for consideration.

Under current law, those convicted of prostitution have been subject to forfeiture of any assets received due to their unlawful acts. But those who induce or allow another to provide those services have not been subject to the forfeiture of proceeds that result from the unlawful activity.

The legislation will strike the forfeiture provision from law as it applies to prostitutes, and will add the forfeiture provision to the law dealing with “pimps,” or, as the law describes them, "individuals who by any promise or threat, by abuse or by any other device or scheme cause, induce, persuade or encourage a person to become a prostitute."
