I want to tell about special case that is going to be filed in federal court  against California district attorneys and the California state attorney general for violating the constitutional rights of individuals who seek the right to be compensated for or to give compensation for private intimate contact. This conduct is currently criminalized as prostitution in California.

This case is being sponsored by the Erotic Service Providers Legal,  Education and Research Project, a non profit, a diverse community based group of erotic service providers and community member who are work towards empowerment by advancing sexual privacy rights. One way to advance sexual privacy rights is  launch a legal impact case such as the one I’m going to tell you about.

So far they have a top notch litigator who has experience arguing these types of constitutional issues before the US Supreme court. He is specialist so of course he’s quite expensive, but we think its well worth it.

Then there are the plaintiffs. The female plaintiffs represent the people who want to assert their right to be hired to provide intimate private contact which is currently criminalized under the anti prostitution law. They are ordinary women who have children, families, hobbyies and lives outside of work just like every else.  They just want to raise their families and live in peace with access to equal protection under the law, like everybody else.

Then there is the customer plaintiff, who has stepped forward to represent the right compensate for intimate private contact. He wants the right to hire comfort without being arrested for prostitution.

The case will also demand the right to associate and right to organize without fear.

The type of relief we are seeking from the court will be accessible to other through out the united states to keep unjust criminal charges from being filed and to keep the police from arresting erotic service providers and instead force prosecutors to provide equal protection under the law.

This court case might take as little as a year to litigate or as long as several years. Many people have stepped up and contributed to this cause so far but more help is needed.  The hope is that with your help we will end negative social stigma and the resulting discrimination in housing, employment, education, child custody and access to financial institutions for being compensated intimate private conduct in our life time. Our constitutional rights are human rights and must be upheld NOW! Now is the time!

For those who keep saying that the justice systems mistreatment of sex workers isn’t right, its your chance to make a contribution and help us take this landmark step by  making a tax deductible anonymous donation.
