The whole thing goes against the right of free association and the right to privacy.
Having the pigz in the bedroom is never a good idea for any state!
The law also covers a promise to provide sexual services in exchange for money/financial gain. So people can be arrested even if money hasn't changed hands yet.

But still, if sex hasn't explicitly been discussed on the phone or by text, then there's nothing to indicate that client was actually planning on having sex with the escort. A client stopped on entering the apartment, or leaving the apartment, could simply be seeking to spend time with the escort.

The main thing here is now once in the apartment its enough to do damage and i'm afraid you will have escorts who will be cooperating with police, that is where it will all unravel for the client i'm afraid as most of these places are shared accommodation and in the eyes of the law, a brothel so that's a crime in itself for the escorts staying there.
I don't want to give more information on it on this forum but just be careful.
This is the case with brothels though. The escorts haven't committed an offence if they are in an apartment by themselves.
