MADRID PROSTITUTES CLEARED TO DRESS DOWN

MADRID -- Scantily dressed prostitutes in a popular Madrid park should not be ordered to cover up because they are simply wearing the uniform of their profession, according to the capital's chief public prosecutor.

Mariano Fernando Bermejo rejected a proposal to charge prostitutes with the offense of indecent exposure, newspaper El Pais said recently.

The idea was put forward by a police chief outraged at the women's state of undress day and night in the Casa de Campo. The park is a well-known center of prostitution but is also home to an amusement park, a zoo, soccer pitches and restaurants.

"One thing is indecent exposure, another is the wearing of a uniform--or in this case almost the lack of one--related to one's job," the prosecutor was quoted as saying in El Pais.

MadridMan has seen this "display" in Casa de Campo for himself and can truthly say this could/would NEVER happen in the USA! At least not legally (prostitution in Spain is largely legal)!

[Antonio says: This is not completely true. Prostitution in Spain is neither legal nor illegal. Our laws just don't talk about it].
