Norway targets sex clients
OSLO – A Norwegian law which came into effect on January 1 makes it a crime for Norwegians to buy, but not to sell, sex in Norway and abroad.
The main target for the legislation is the streets of Norway’s capital, Oslo, where the Norwegian authorities say they want to stamp out prostitution by targeting clients rather than prostitutes.
Norwegian citizens caught paying for prostitutes at home or abroad could face a hefty fine or a six-month prison sentence.
The Norwegian Minister Of Justice, Knut Storberget, has stated that all Norwegian sex clients should now be wary and has made it clear that the law also applies to Norwegians purchasing sexual favours outside of the country.
It will be difficult to prosecute, he said, but not impossible.
The Norwegian authorities have managed to punish pedophiles who have paid to have sex with children in Thailand and will be able to prosecute “normal†sex clients in the same way, he added.
