Pennsylvania
In Pennsylvania, all aspects of the sex trade —whether selling sex, buying sex, promoting it, or profiting from it—are completely illegal. Pennsylvania has distinct laws for purchasing sexual services (patronizing) and selling sexual services (prostitution). Pennsylvania trafficking survivors have the ability to vacate low level convictions such as prostitution or drug possession that was “proximately caused by” or “as a direct result of” being trafficked.
