Did you know that prostitution is legal in Rhode Island if you practice it in private?
quote "Under current law" :
Persons are free to solicit sex for money in newspapers and/or over the Internet as long as the conduct that is agreed upon takes place in private.
However with the recent very public scandal of New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer’s involvement with a prostitute, Rhode Island lawmakers are considering a bill that would close this loophole in the states misdemeanor prostitution statute.
