A street in Corona, Queens has turned into the city’s boldest open-air market for sex—one so popular that it’s advertised on YouTube. As police enforcement wanes, nearly a dozen brothels have set up shop along Roosevelt Avenue near Junction Boulevard. The women loiter in front of pool halls, dentist shops and massage parlors day and night without any police harassment.
Cops in New York have vowed to no longer arrest sex workers. In April 2021, then-Manhattan DA Cy Vance announced his office would stop prosecuting sex workers, and other borough prosecutors soon followed suit. “The NYPD has proactively shifted the work of vice enforcement in recent years, reflecting our ongoing efforts to focus with precision on those who would purchase sex or promote its sale,” an NYPD spokesperson said.
