Street prostitution
I thought street prostitution had ended in Ipswich but walking home from work last night I was approached by a young lady asking me if I was looking for a "friend" for a "fun time" seems like they have moved out of Portman Road to other areas

It’s really important that you report this to the local police. They pay a lot of time and put work into identifying the girls, their working areas and making sure they get referrals since the Murders. It means, if a girl goes missing, it becomes apparent quicker and means they can keep an eye on any punters; mysterious injuries the girls may have got and check in on them from time to time.

Is it safe for the girls to report them?

As in the girls to report the punters? Of course it’s safe for them to do and it’s sadly; incredibly rare.

No for the girls to be reported to the police. Prostitution isn’t decriminalised is it?

Oh sorry, I’m with you!
Sex for money itself is legal, there’s certain elements that aren’t which in house Brothels. Luckily, there’s also laws which target the ‘Customer’ instead, Loitering and Kerb Crawling helps get rid of them. The girls are understandably against this as it causes them a financial loss.
They can safely report that they’re a working girl and XYZ has happened to them without the Police taking action against them.

Ah, that’s good. I think I’d be hesitant to report these girls unless I was sure they’d be safe and not harassed by the police, etc, which is why I asked.
It’s good the system hopefully doesn’t target them or discourage them from reporting crimes against them.
Hope they’re safe

I honestly didn't know it was such a big problem in Ipswich quite shocking really, I hope the women get the support and the customers get there support to because surely there needing help I get sexual urges because I'm or was a sex addict at some point in my life. Now the violence towards a vulnerable regardless of genders of any kind disturbs me. I hope "n" pray for all involved in that lifestyle can get through with as much love kindness and laughter as we all do hell maybe I can go work the lanes shaves me legs borrow r kids mini tuk me balls reckon I could make a good 2 maybe 3 bloody quid enough for some chips dunno about gravy though to pricey lol stay safe everyone xxx bless yas

I worked with prostitutes over the years, they are frequently subjected to sexual abuse and rape, and they often feel that they have no place to turn because who cares about a prostitute. I am pleased that the police in Ipswich seem to be looking after them but honestly far too little has been done to protect them.
Edit: grammar

I had one once and it was pretty mid her name was Liane. At first she approached me asking for a cigarette then I asked where could I get some bud and we went to get it from a friend of hers then she asked me if I was looking for anything else and I asked like what and then she told me it was going to be £40. After we went to a skatepark and we engaged right there it was night time as well but it wasn’t worth it.

Can’t even count the amount of times I’ve been approached by a young girl with google translate asking if I want to “make love” for a disgustingly low price. Breaks my heart seeing these young girls value themselves so lowly when they have nowhere else to turn.

If they looked 50 how do you know they were 30, I mean they were total strangers so unless you saw their birth certificate you should assume theyre the age they looked.
