Anti-trafficking activist files lawsuit to declare legal Nevada brothels unconstitutional
A lawsuit has been filed with the aim of declaring Nevada's brothel industry unconstitutional.
Quote:
An anti-trafficking activist filed a federal lawsuit on Monday trying to declare Nevada’s legal brothels unconstitutional.
Rebekah Charleston’s lawsuit against the state legislature and Gov. Steve Sisolak (D) seeks to ban Nevada from allowing legal prostitution and create a $2 million fund to help women leave the sex trade, The Las Vegas Review-Journal reported.
Nevada state law currently allows legal brothels in rural counties with fewer than 700,000 residents.
The lawsuit asks the courts to declare the legal brothel ordinances in Elko, Lander, Lyon, Mineral, Nye, Storey and White Pine counties unconstitutional.
Charleston, who lives in Texas, alleges that she was trafficked by two pimps from 1999 through 2009.
