SEX FOR SALE?: Reader incensed after Port Douglas business runs alleged adultery services on Macrossan St
CONCERNS
Tourists and locals alike are allegedly being offered sexual services at a local business that is allegedly operating under the guise of being a massage parlour right in the heart of Port Douglas.
A concerned Newsport reader alleges men are being enticed with offers of regular relaxation massages before the conversation with female workers soon turns to rates for sexual services.
The source also said they’ve witnessed lewd public behaviour in which workers near the business attempt to lure clients inside the premise by allegedly flashing body parts.
The reader said they’ve also allegedly witnessed “naked women either without pants or a top on as they carry out their (massage work or otherwise) throughout the day”.
Newsport approached Queensland Police Service (QPS) for comment regarding the matter.
“In light of the pending decriminalisation of prostitution in Queensland, the Prostitution Enforcement Task Force (PETF), which forms part of the Drug and Serious Crime Group, are not currently undertaking any enforcement action in relation to minor prostitution offences,” a QPS spokesperson told Newsport.
“Decisions to prosecute criminal matters are made based on consideration of both sufficiency of evidence and public interest.
“Due to the State Government’s current intentions with respect to the decriminalisation of prostitution, prosecutions of this nature have been deemed not in the public interest.”
