"Former Governor of New York Eliot Spitzer on June 6, 2007 signed into law legislation to prevent human trafficking and to suppress the demand for prostitution. New York’s punishment for patronizing prostitutes changed from a Class B misdemeanor (3 months jail/$500 fine) to a Class A (1 year jail/$1,000 fine) misdemeanor. The new law also clarified the statute Promoting Prostitution in the Third Degree, listed as a class D felony, to include those who run prostitution tourism businesses. A Class B felony was created for those involved in sex trafficking. [Note: Governor Spitzer announced his resignation on Mar. 12, 2008 over confirmed reports of his having patronized a prostitute.]" If Governors are using prostitutes then its safe to say that others are too. I can not believe that he is the only one. The punishment is currently worse than most other misdemeanors in its class. Is that fair? Thursday, February 9, 2012
