POLICE Scotland has thrown its weight behind proposals to decriminalise selling sex, put forward by a former SNP minister.

- By Politics Reporter

And Alba MSP Ash Regan’s bill would make buying sex a criminal offence, with those convicted facing fines of up to £10,000 and possible jail sentences.

She also wants to quash the convictions of sex workers who have previously been convicted.

In their response to the legislation, the Specialist Crime Division of Police Scotland wrote: “Police Scotland are fully supportive that buying sex is a form of exploitation and should be covered by law.”
