In Minnesota, all aspects of the sex trade—whether selling sex, buying sex, promoting it, or profiting from it—are completely illegal. 

Minnesota has distinct subsections of the law for purchasing sexual services (patronizing) and prostitution (selling sexual services) both under 609.324. Minnesota does not currently have a trafficking-specific criminal record relief or vacatur statute. However, there is a
clause in their general criminal record relief law that applies to all crime victims. This clause states that if the underlying circumstances of the crime are related to the individual’s status as a crime victim, then the court will expunge their record and seal the record of the proceeding. To obtain this, the crime victim may need a sworn statement from a staff member of a state- funded victim services organization or licensed health care provider to show their status as a crime victim (See https://polarisproject.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Minnesota-Report-Card-2023.pdf).
