They earn less per customer, can go home to their children and families at night. However, some women will friendly up a potential customer in the local park or supermarket, for example. The penalty can be double — up to ten years — when minors involved.
The double penalty can also be applied in cases where deceit, violence or other form of intimidation or coercion takes place. In the case of the El Viajero, the only arrest was that of the Portuguez, who is now in the custody of the Attorney General.
