Identification of Sex Work Advertisers by Law Enforcement

Have police, border patrol, immigration, or homeland security ever identified you as having appeared on a sex work advertising website outside of a prostitution sting? ESPLERP.org is collecting stories to help lawmakers understand the human impacts of law enforcement identifying sex work advertisers not during prostitution stings (for example, at border crossings or traffic stops). This survey will end January 15, 2023. Are you willing to have your story appear in a report for lawmakers?
