Supreme Court: Prostitution is legal

The president of the Supreme Court of Justice, Jorge Subero Isa said yesterday that prostitution is legal in the Dominican Republic. He said: “In our country, prostitution is still not an illegal act, but an act that is tolerated by society.”

He said that state prosecutors that closed massage centers did so upon finding other elements that were in violation of the laws, such as illegal drugs, as reported in Diario Libre.
