Prostitute trying to leave the business tells her tale
PORTLAND, Ore. - Prostitution has been called the "Worlds Oldest Profession," and around the Portland area, it is a growing problem as more women turn to the trade in bad economic times.
KATU News talked to one woman who posts her services each day online, meets with clients and then leads what most would consider a normal life, including going to Trail Blazer games.
Except her life isn't normal. She does not pay taxes or have a checking account. And of course, she makes a living selling sex, which is illegal in Oregon. She could be arrested at any time.
How did she get started? What does she think of what she does? What about the future? What happened in her past that got her started in prostitution.
KATU Reporter Dan Tilkin talked to a woman looking to get out of the sex trade, even though it is paying her bills and then some.
