Mississippi
In Mississippi, all aspects of the sex trade —whether selling sex, buying sex, promoting it, or profiting from it—are completely illegal.. Mississippi has distinct laws for purchasing sexual services (procuring) and prostitution (selling sexual services). The State’s record relief statute allows survivors to vacate specific low-level offenses related to their trafficking.
