Question about the Legality of Prostitution in DR for Fabio Guzman
- Status
Well that being the case maybe someone can show in the law where it says a third party is illegal?
From the other threads I do believe it is obvious the OP would like something a little more than ……….. well, this is what they always tell me type of answer.
Now couldn't the law say something like this …………. Prostitution is legal provided blah, blah, blah doesn't occur?
I know everyone says that. I am asking in the legal forum so that a lawyer in DR can say that. I have been told it is not legal. I have been told it is not illegal either but it is definitely not legal. I would really love to hear what Guzman Ariza thinks.
thanks cjewell, seems like I am the only one who understands why you posted in the Legal Forum........... SMH
lol seems so. I would just like the debate in end once and for all (the question of if it is legal or not) - by seeing the question answered by a Dominican lawyer respected on these boards.
I also understand, but of course it is a forum and all who wish will comment.

Art. 334 of the Dominican Penal Code, as amended by Law 24-97 of 1997, states the following:
Ser� considerado proxeneta aqu�l o aqu�lla:

Segundo: El o la que del ejercicio de esa pr�ctica reciba beneficios de la prostituci�n.
Tercero: El que relacionado con la prostituci�n no pueda justificar los recursos correspondientes a su tren de vida.
Cuarto: El o la que consienta a la prostituci�n de su pareja y obtenga beneficios de �llo;
Quinto: Que contrata, entrena o mantiene, a�n con su consentimiento, una persona, hombre o mujer, aun mayor de edad, con miras a la prostituci�n, la entrega a la prostituci�n, o al desenfreno y relajaci�n de las costumbres;

S�ptimo: Que por amenazas, presi�n o maniobras, o por cualquier medio, perturba la acci�n de prevenci�n, asistencia o reeducaci�n emprendida por los organismos calificados en favor de las personas (hombres o mujeres) que se dedican a la prostituci�n o est�n en riesgo de prostituci�n.
El proxenetismo se castiga con prisi�n de seis meses a tres a�os y multa de cincuenta mil a quinientos mil pesos.
The law criminalizes the act of pimping in all its manifestations, defining as a procurer or pimp any third party involved in the business of prostitution. It does not criminalize, however, the conduct of the individual, isolated prostitute procuring for herself and having sexual intercourse with a paying partner.

So technically a newspaper selling and publishing a classified ad would be in violation of first, second and sixth article.
Ya. DR1 has it covered:
"Prostitution is technically legal in the Dominican Republic. It is illegal however for a third party (pimp) to have any involvement. In an effort for police to counteract the problem in tourist areas, they will generally arrest any girl who appears to be a prostitute and is walking on the street after dark for loitering. To avoid arrest, the girls simply take a motoconcho taxi directly to the discos and operate from there. If they leave with a client, they will ask him to provide them with the motoconcho fare back to the disco or for him to walk her back himself. If the girl is being escorted down the street by a man, the police will leave her alone. If a prostitute is arrested for loitering, she may spend several days in jail and will generally have to pay the police to be released. She might get this money from a family member, a boyfriend or more likely, another prostitute. Then immediately upon release, she will resume the life she knows."
