Voluntary sex work not illegal, police can't harass consenting adults: Supreme Court

The Supreme Court said voluntary sex work isn't illegal, so police can't harass consenting adults. The court stressed that "the question of their 'rescue' does not arise" if they're doing it willingly. They also said sex workers shouldn't be forced into rehabilitation, and their choices must be respected.
