They do it in real life and usually to a specific group of women. Prostitution is officially illegal in my place but you can still see brothels, masked as spa or massage parlor, mushrooming everywhere. The working ladies usually come from neighboring countries, selling off their body to earn a decent living for their families back home. Once in a while, police would raid these places, one or two may shut down, but most of the places would continue operating when their ladies come back in one or two days.
I am not proud of it, but I do visit these places. Once a lady told me even though all her documents check out, she is still detained. She is forced to service four to five of the so called police officers while she is detained, and worse of all they do not pay her for it. Due to the nature of her job, there is no place to report and no one would take her word anyway, so she let them use her as they like until they release her the next day.
