Groups predict prostitution spike at RNC

Denver Post

ST. PAUL, Minn.—Advocacy groups that fight prostitution in the Twin Cities are gearing up for what they believe will be a surge in activity during the Republican National Convention—even though police say they aren't expecting it to be a problem.

It shouldn't be a problem for the cops. It won't be out on the street. The Repugs have money, so it'll all be in the hotels.

Vednita Carter, executive director of Breaking Free, a St. Paul organization that helps women escape from prostitution, told the Star Tribune that talk among prostitutes is that there will be a lot of money to be made.

They're the ones who know.

And by the way, what's this 'spike' of which they speak? Is this something new I don't know about yet?
