Abstract

CAORSI, Federico Fascioli. Sex work, pimping and forced prostitution Where does the legal end and the prohibited begin?. Rev. Fac. Der. [online]. 2022, n.54, e205.  Epub Dec 01, 2022. ISSN 0797-8316.  https://doi.org/10.22187/rfd2022n54a6.

The objective of this article is to analyze the regulation of sex work and the crimes of pimping and forced prostitution, in order to determine what the law allows and prohibits in relation to the sex industry. Our country has Law 17,515 and its regulatory decree 480/003, which regulate sex work; but at the same time, it also prohibits the exercise of pimping and forced prostitution. Through this critical analysis, it will be possible to delimit the narrow line that separates the legal commercial activity of setting up and profiting from a brothel (or an establishment with similar characteristics) and the crime of pimping, for which the applicable norms will be analyzed, the doctrine and jurisprudence on the matter.

Keywords : Sex work; pimping; forced prostitution; sexual exploitation; Uruguay.
