Regional News of Tuesday, 1 June 2021Source: peacefmonline.comA Private Legal Practitioner, lawyer Godwin Edudzi Tamakloe, has indicated that people engaging in prostitution may get away with the crime since it is difficult to prove it in court without empirical evidence. Speaking on Okay FM’s 'Ade Akye Abia' Morning Show, Lawyer Edudzi Tamakloe reiterated that the police have not been successful in prosecuting prostitutes in court due to lack of evidence beyond the suspicion that some people are standing at the roadside engaging in prostitution. You are claiming that she is engaging in prostitution and so you assume the burden to prove that the woman you saw standing at the roadside was standing there for the purpose of soliciting for sex,” he stated. Unless you use the tactics of entrapment, it is almost always difficult to see that the lady standing at the roadside is engaging in prostitution,” he added. He further stated that the situation of prostitution is similar to adultery in divorce; thus, it is almost always difficult to prove adultery as the act is supposed to be done in secrecy.
