Some sense for once.

interesting reasons given

The judge said the man would also be at risk of damaging his health and being exploited – risks he did not understand – and social services staff might be in danger of prosecution

nothing about it not being OK to buy sex then....

Bernard it's in the preceeding paragraph, to be fair to him!

He added: “I consider it would be wholly contrary to public policy for this court and for this local authority, to endorse and sanction [him] having sexual relations with a woman for payment.”

The judge said the man would also be at risk of damaging his health and being exploited – risks he did not understand – and social services staff might be in danger of prosecution.

ah, didn't take that bit in. good to see some sense, thanks

Well this is a surprising outbreak of common sense and basic human decency.

Prodigalkittens, don't worry, I'm sure they'll stamp it out soon enough.
