In an interview with El Dia today, Friday 10 May, sexual workers complained that the new measure announced by Prosecutor General Francisco Dominguez Brito that clients soliciting prostitutes would be arrested and their details put on file has scared away their clients. As reported in El Dia, prostitutes working in the Centro de los Heroes area of Santo Domingo said their clients are telling them they will have to meet somewhere else.
Dominguez Brito said that the government would intervene in prostitution centers and gathering areas that are located on George Washington (Malecon), Sarasota, Duarte, and Ortega y Gasset avenues in Santo Domingo and Calle Del Sol in Santiago.
