Local Sex Workers and Allies Respond to Brothel Case in Massachusetts

For Immediate Release: March 27, 2025 

Contact: bostonswac@gmail.com 

We the Boston Sex Workers and Allies Collective, a group of active and former sex workers, sex trafficking survivors, and allies advocating for the health and wellbeing of sex workers in Massachusetts, are speaking up in response to the recent naming of alleged clients of the Cambridge/Watertown brothels, including Cambridge City Councilor Paul Toner. We caution the public and the press against making assumptions about the women who worked in these brothels and their circumstances based on the limited information available. These women’s voices have so far been absent from the details provided to the public, making it difficult to ascertain whether this was a case of sex trafficking or of consensual sex work.
