Prostitutes Trenton

Trenton faces ongoing challenges with prostitution and related crimes. Police regularly conduct stings in areas like South Broad Street and South Clinton Avenue. These operations often lead to multiple arrests.

Notable Criminal Cases

Several serious cases have emerged. Breion Turner admitted holding a 17-year-old girl against her will. Anthony Balaam, known as the Trenton Strangler, murdered four prostitutes between 1994-1996. A Trenton police officer died by suicide amid a prostitution investigation.

Brothels and Trafficking Operations

Brothels operate illegally throughout the city. Club Risqué and Gallagher’s 2000 are among the known venues. New Brunswick residents were recently charged with running multiple brothels statewide. Human trafficking remains a concern. One woman received 50 years for trafficking charges. A Middlesex County couple forced a teenager into prostitution. Mexican nationals pleaded guilty to trafficking women for New Jersey brothels.

Legal Status and Ongoing Efforts

Prostitution is illegal in New Jersey. Only some Nevada counties and Maine permit limited forms. Despite this, escort services openly advertise online. Sites list Trenton escorts with promises of discretion. Efforts continue against these crimes. The police daytime task force conducts regular operations. But prostitution and drug activity persist in neighborhoods like South Clinton Avenue.
