With the new offence of paying for sex with somebody who is "controlled for another person's gain" to carry a hefty fine and a criminal record, the British Association of Pimps (BAPS) is going to the European Court in protest.
BAPS feels that the new law is treating its members rather unfairly. Association Chairman, Terry Towels, feels that the livelihood of his members is now under severe threat following the ruling.
At a press conference this morning, attended by the Daily Sport, he said that his members would be reduced to relying on drug dealing, retail protection rackets and muggings to survive.
He stated that the services provided by his Association members to 'ladies of the night' were strictly laid down, just like the girls are. Pimps only extort money and physically abuse their girls using recognised and regulated means.
For example, they never damage their girls' faces when they physically abuse them, and never take more than 80% of the girls' takings.
They also lavish them with nice gifts such as sandwiches, condoms and STD creams.
