Following the [[Western Economic Crisis of 2026]] and the Great Southern Famine in 2026-27, illegal prostitution rapidly became widespread as women turned to the trade in order to make a living. By the summer of 2028, the sight of streetwalkers in downtown Atlanta had become commonplace. The same trend was observed in Augusta, Savannah and other cities. Meanwhile, community websites and social media platforms became saturated with advertisements from escort agencies.


In 2027, the Atlanta Police Department reported 59,252 arrests for illegal solicitation, an increase of more than 250% from the previous year. In 2028, the total number of arrests increased further to 102,211. The number of cases grew to be so overwhelming that the District Attorney's Office was had started to decline to prosecute routine cases because there was insufficient space in the county jail.  
=== Licensing Framework ===
The Michigan Adult Entertainment Commission requires that any woman wishing to engage in legal prostitution must hold a valid Conditional Sex Work License (CSWL) associated with a sponsor, which must be a registered Adult Entertainment Establishment within the state. A CSWL must be renewed every six months.  


Meanwhile, police departments around the state were also seeing an increase in violent crimes against prostitutes, ranging from assault to armed robbery.  
==== Employment Requirement ====
Applicants must obtain an offer of employment from their sponsor and submit it with their application. The sponsor must provide a legal undertaking to (1) require the sex worker to be tested for STDs on a weekly basis; (2) require the sex worker to use Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP); (3) employ the sex worker on a full-time basis, with a minimum base pay of $2,000 per month.  


In response, various state legislators began to advocate for prostitution to be legalized, citing fears that the situation would soon get out of hand. They argued that it was only a matter of time before gangs and criminal syndicates began to gain a foothold in the sex trade, and expressed concerns that the women were vulnerable to exploitation and violence.
==== Testing Requirement ====
Applicants must submit negative test results for HIV, gonorrhea, syphilis and chlamydia dated within 5 days of their application date. In addition, applicants must also pass a drug test.  


In November 2027, Bryan McDermott, the commissioner of the APD, made a public statement in which he expressed concern for streetwalkers who were plying their trade outdoors in the harsh cold of winter. In addition, he also issued a warning to streetwalkers, stating that they were putting their own personal safety at risk.
==== Background Check ====

As part of the application process, background checks are conducted to ensure that applicants do not have an adverse background that would disqualify them from holding a CSWL.

=== Adoption of Proposition 17 ===
=== Unlicensed Prostitution ===
In June 2028, it was announced that Proposition 17 would be introduced as a ballot proposition during the 2028 general election on 5 November.  
Under Michigan law, engaging in unlicensed prostitution is a Class B felony, punishable by imprisonment of up to 3 years and/or a fine of up to $50,000. For repeat offenders, the maximum imprisonment term is 6 years, and the maximum fine is $300,000.          


In the run-up to the election, a number of high-profile public figures endorsed voting in favor of the proposition, including U.S. Representative Gillian Murphy of Georgia's 3rd congressional district, Southern Baptist pastor Rev. Jackson Young, and pop star Summer Ferguson.  
Despite the stiff penalties, unlicensed prostitution is a common practice throughout the state, particularly in Detroit, Grand Rapids and Lansing, where women can easily engage in casual sex work by advertising their services on internet platforms such as Seek, ExtraCreamy and Tryst. Typically, an unlicensed prostitute charges between $250 to $500 for an hour-long session, as compared to $700 to $2,000 at a registered brothel or strip club.          


When asked by reporters how he could reconcile his moral and religious beliefs with his support for Proposition 17, Young replied:<blockquote>'''''<big>"Above all, God is about sustaining life, and He understands that in extraordinary times, we have to take extraordinary things to survive. These women are not doing this because they want to, but because they have no other choice."</big>''''' </blockquote>Georgia's Republican Senator Jim O'Keefe opposed the proposition and stated that it would "cause the Great State of Georgia to languish in sin and infamy, just like Sodom and Gomorrah in Old Testament times". Eventually, Proposition 17 passed with 58.7% of the popular vote, and Governor Jeanne Corrigan pledged to pursue legislation to give effect to the proposition "without delay".  
In August 2049, Adam Malik, a deputy director at the Michigan AEC, stated:           <blockquote>'''''<big>"Unlicensed prostitution is a scourge that continues to afflict our cities. It puts women in danger, and allows criminal syndicates to gain a foothold in the industry. The AEC is working with law enforcement to eradicate this problem."</big>'''''           </blockquote>It is estimated that there are between 150,000 to 300,000 unlicensed prostitutes operating in Michigan. While the vast majority of them engage in sex work on a casual, part-time basis, an unlicensed prostitute who works 25 days a month can earn up to $40,000 per month.

=== Licensing Requirements ===
=== Brothels ===
Under the framework introduced by the Georgia Adult Entertainment Commission, all prostitution activities must take place within designated "red light districts". There shall be at least one designated "red light district" for every city or town in Georgia with a population of at least 100,000.  
Catering to the general population, licensed brothels are the most common type of Adult Entertainment Establishment in Michigan. As of December 2049, there were 1,366 brothels operating statewide. Only men aged 18 and above are permitted to patronize brothels. Photo ID is usually required for entry.


In addition, a Sex Worker License (SWL) must be obtained in order to legally engage in prostitution. This applies both to independent (self-employed) sex workers and contracted employees of a licensed adult entertainment establishment.  
Typical prices for an hour of full service at a brothel range from $400 to $600, with some establishments also offering half-hour services with rates starting at $250. Customers are typically able to choose their preferred companions from line-ups. Some brothels have different categories of girls, with different prices. A standard service package at a brothel typically includes shower service, a massage, oral service and classic full service. Optional add-ons (with upcharges) usually include anal full service, rimming, face-fucking, and light BDSM services.


Operators of adult entertainment establishments must obtain an Adult Entertainment License (AEL). There are three types of permitted establishments, namely brothels, strip clubs and escort agencies, with different requirements from each.
Prostitutes employed at brothels must be paid a minimum base salary of $2,000 per month, and must be given one day off per week. They are typically expected to fulfil a quota of 4 hours (or 8 half-hours) per day, after which they are eligible to receive 15% to 20% of booking revenues. Thus, a prostitute who serves an average of 10 customers per day with an hourly rate of $400 and a commission rate of 15% can expect to earn $360 per day in addition to her base salary.


Engaging in prostitution without a valid SWL is a felony offense punishable by a fine of up to $30,000 and up to 18 months' imprisonment. For repeat offenders, the maximum penalty is increased to a fine of up to $75,000 and up to 3 years' imprisonment. 
According to AEC regulations, condoms must be used during full service (both classic and anal) at all licensed brothels. Failure to do so may result in penalties including fines or suspension.

Operating an adult entertainment establishment without an AEL is a felony offense punishable by up to $100,000 and up to 3 years' imprisonment. An adult entertainment establishment may have its license suspended or revoked for failing to abide by the conditions of issuance, including the timely reporting and payment of taxes.  
=== Strip Clubs ===
[[File:Georgia RLD Testing.jpg|thumb|''Two Georgia sex workers waiting at a clinic for a routine STD test'']]
Licensed strip clubs largely cater to the general population, however there are a number of "VIP" strip clubs that serve a more exclusive clientele. As of December 2049, there were 291 strip clubs operating statewide. Only men aged 18 and above are permitted to patronize strip clubs, with some establishments having a minimum age requirement of 25. Photo ID may be required for entry.


==== Sex Worker License (SWL) ====
At strip clubs, customers are seated at a table and expected to order drinks or refreshments while watching the girls perform exotic dance routines on the main stage. Performances may include pole dance, belly dance, lesbian shows, or sex shows. Customers may pick a companion of choice at any time, though girls are usually booked immediately after their routined. The customer is then taken to a back room for "private services", which may include any combination from a private lap dance, "manhood massage", oral service, or full service. Unlike in other types of establishments, services at strip clubs are brief and basic, with each session lasting only 15 to 20 minutes.  
Each SWL is issued for six months, and may be renewed starting from 30 days prior to the expiry date. Applications must be submitted via the GeorgiaSW app, and must be accompanied by an application fee of $100.


In order to be eligible, applicants must meet the following conditions:
Service prices range from $30 for a private lap dance to $300 for the "full package" service.


* The applicant must be a biological woman (assigned female at birth);
Prostitutes employed at strip clubs must be paid a minimum base salary of $2,000 per month, and must be given one day off per week. They are expected to attract customers through their performances on stage. Most strip clubs do not have minimum quotas, and pay their girls a cut of 5% to 10% of service revenues, plus 50% of tips.  
* The applicant must be at least 18 years old;
[[File:Michigan1-4.jpg|thumb|''Prostitutes presenting themselves to a client at Monroe's, a private club in Detroit, Michigan'']]
* The applicant must complete a comprehensive STD panel within 14 days of the date of application, and must test negative for HIV, gonorrhea, syphilis and chlamydia. She must also provide an undertaking to be tested for all the above STDs every 15 days and must upload her test results via the GeorgiaSW app;
* The applicant must complete a drugs test within 7 days of the date of application, and must take further drug tests every 15 days, and must upload her test results via the GeorgiaSW app.
* The applicant must undertake to use Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) daily;
* The applicant must undertake to use an approved contraception method (other than condoms).
In the case of employed sex workers, the employer is responsible for ensuring compliance of all SWL licensing requirements. In the case of self-employed sex workers, the individual herself is responsible for ensuring compliance.

==== Independent Sex Work ====
=== Private Clubs ===
Licensed sex workers may choose to be self-employed. They are required to operate out of a personal workspace or "window" in an adult mall within a designated red light district. Adult malls may be indoors or outdoors. Each sex worker is permitted to register only one personal workspace, and must exclusively work out of this space. Outcall bookings are prohibited.
Private clubs are high-end establishments that provide services only to their members, and not to the general public. Membership information must be stored securely and can be inspected by AEC officials at any time. Each private club is free to set their own rules, criteria and fees for membership. As of December 2049, there were 22 private clubs in Michigan. Some private clubs have specific themes, and may be branded as ''hammams'' (bath houses), saunas or casinos.  


Self-employed sex workers are permitted to advertise online and in print media, however, advertising on TV and radio are prohibited.  
All private clubs are also issued with a 29C license (for serving alcohol 24 hours a day), a 33D license (for overnight services and accommodations) and a 33E license (for sexual services without condoms). In general, most private clubs do not use condoms, and require their girls to have IUDs fitted before commencing employment.


The precise regulations for each workspace are to be determined by the proprietor. In general, the proprietor charges a fixed base rent every week, plus a percentage of the sex worker's total earnings. According to the PAEA, the percentage of earnings paid to the proprietor as "variable rent" cannot exceed 40%. In addition, a prostitution tax of 12% is payable to the state.
Service prices range from $1,500 to $3,000 per hour. Overnight services can cost up to $15,000.  


Proprietors are responsible for ensuring that their tenants maintain a sanitary and hygienic environment at all times. There must be at least one bathroom and one shower cubicle for every workspace, or for every 2 personal booths within a shared workspace. In Georgia, it is a legal requirement for self-employed sex workers to use condoms for "full service" (vaginal and anal intercourse) at all times; however, condoms are optional during oral service.
Prostitutes employed at private clubs must be paid a minimum base salary of $2,500 per month, and must be given one day off per week. Most private clubs have a quota of 2 hours per day, after which the girls are eligible to receive 10% to 15% of booking revenues. Most prostitutes who are employed at private clubs earn between $5,000 to $8,000 per week, although top-performing girls at the highest-end clubs can earn over $20,000 per week. Because of this, competition for places at the best private clubs is very intense.

Valet agencies are the only type of adult establishment licensed to provide outcall and travel services. According to AEC regulations, any Valet agency intending to operate in Michigan must have a representative office within the state, as well as a designated legal representative who must be a resident of Michigan.


==== Employment-Based Sex Work ====
As of December 2049, there were 39 locally-registered Valet agencies, while another 58 agencies had representative offices within the state.


* '''Brothels:''' All licensed brothels must be located within a designated red light district and may not accept outcall bookings. Brothel operators are responsible for ensuring that all of their sex workers abide by the SWL licensing requirements. Condoms are mandatory for "full service" (vaginal and anal intercourse) at all brothels; however, condoms are optional for oral service. Brothel operators are required to pay a base salary of at least $1,500 to each sex worker, in addition to a minimum 25% share of her revenues from bookings. Brothels are required to publish a full menu of services with prices clearly stipulated.
Valet agencies typically offer longer-term bookings, with an overnight booking being the shortest service available. Valets are usually very attractive and highly-educated part-time sex workers who have other careers. Valets with a public profile (e.g. models or influencers) command higher rates. While Valets are required to be nominally "employed" by an agency for the purposes of obtaining a CSWL, they do not receive a base monthly salary, nor are they entitled to any benefits. They are usually paid a 15% to 25% cut of booking revenues.


* '''Strip Clubs:''' Full-service strip clubs must be located within a designated red light district and may not accept outcall bookings. Condoms are mandatory for "full service" at all brothels; however, condoms are optional for oral service. Strip club operators are required to pay a base salary of at least $7.25 per hour to each sex worker, in addition to a 50% share of her revenues from service fees (for private dances and sexual services). Brothels are required to publish a full menu of services with prices clearly stipulated.
Prices for an overnight booking range from $12,000 to $20,000, while a 7 day booking can cost between $60,000 to $100,000.


* '''Escort Agencies:''' Escort agencies are permitted to operate within the county of their registration, and may accept outcall bookings, however they are required to have a registered office address within a designated red light district with incall facilities for at least 4 customers. They are permitted to provide "full service" with or without condoms. All escort agencies are required to pay at a base monthly salary of at least $2,600 to each sex worker, in addition to a minimum 25% share of her revenues from bookings.
Valet agencies are not required to use condoms during full service (both classic and anal), and usually do not. Most agencies require their Valets to be fitted with IUDs prior to starting employment.

A group of sex workers at the Red Rose Brothel in Detroit, Michigan in 2042

Prostitution has been fully legalized in the state of Michigan since 1 July 2034. It is regulated by the Michigan Adult Entertainment Commission, pursuant to the Prostitution and Adult Entertainment Act of 2033.

According to the PAEA, it is a mandatory requirement for Licensed Sex Workers (LSWs) to be employed by a sponsor, which must be a registered Adult Entertainment Establishment within the state. There are four types of Adult Entertainment Establishment, namely (1) brothels, (2) strip clubs, (3) private clubs, and (4) Valet agencies.

All LSWs are approved by the licensing department of the Adult Entertainment Commission, and must be renewed every 6 months. In order to obtain or renew a license, a number of conditions must be met, including requirements for regular drug testing and STD testing. Only biological women above the age of 18 are eligible to apply for an license.

Under Michigan law, it is illegal for sex workers to operate independently. However, casual and freelance prostitution remain a common practice in the state, due to the relative ease with which prostitutes can offer their services via online platforms.

The PAEA provides for certain protections for women in the sex trade. Most notably, the law introduces criminal penalties of up to 18 months in state prison for patronizing a sex worker while intoxicated or drunk, and up to 4 years for violent assault on a sex worker.

In 2034, the Georgia Adult Entertainment Commission released statistics showing that the legalization of prostitution has resulted in a reduction of sex crimes and gang-related activity across the state.

Current Legal Framework

Licensing Framework

The Michigan Adult Entertainment Commission requires that any woman wishing to engage in legal prostitution must hold a valid Conditional Sex Work License (CSWL) associated with a sponsor, which must be a registered Adult Entertainment Establishment within the state. A CSWL must be renewed every six months.

Employment Requirement

Applicants must obtain an offer of employment from their sponsor and submit it with their application. The sponsor must provide a legal undertaking to (1) require the sex worker to be tested for STDs on a weekly basis; (2) require the sex worker to use Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP); (3) employ the sex worker on a full-time basis, with a minimum base pay of $2,000 per month.

Testing Requirement

Applicants must submit negative test results for HIV, gonorrhea, syphilis and chlamydia dated within 5 days of their application date. In addition, applicants must also pass a drug test.

Background Check

As part of the application process, background checks are conducted to ensure that applicants do not have an adverse background that would disqualify them from holding a CSWL.

Unlicensed Prostitution

Under Michigan law, engaging in unlicensed prostitution is a Class B felony, punishable by imprisonment of up to 3 years and/or a fine of up to $50,000. For repeat offenders, the maximum imprisonment term is 6 years, and the maximum fine is $300,000.

Despite the stiff penalties, unlicensed prostitution is a common practice throughout the state, particularly in Detroit, Grand Rapids and Lansing, where women can easily engage in casual sex work by advertising their services on internet platforms such as Seek, ExtraCreamy and Tryst. Typically, an unlicensed prostitute charges between $250 to $500 for an hour-long session, as compared to $700 to $2,000 at a registered brothel or strip club.

In August 2049, Adam Malik, a deputy director at the Michigan AEC, stated:

"Unlicensed prostitution is a scourge that continues to afflict our cities. It puts women in danger, and allows criminal syndicates to gain a foothold in the industry. The AEC is working with law enforcement to eradicate this problem."

It is estimated that there are between 150,000 to 300,000 unlicensed prostitutes operating in Michigan. While the vast majority of them engage in sex work on a casual, part-time basis, an unlicensed prostitute who works 25 days a month can earn up to $40,000 per month.

Brothels

Catering to the general population, licensed brothels are the most common type of Adult Entertainment Establishment in Michigan. As of December 2049, there were 1,366 brothels operating statewide. Only men aged 18 and above are permitted to patronize brothels. Photo ID is usually required for entry.

Typical prices for an hour of full service at a brothel range from $400 to $600, with some establishments also offering half-hour services with rates starting at $250. Customers are typically able to choose their preferred companions from line-ups. Some brothels have different categories of girls, with different prices. A standard service package at a brothel typically includes shower service, a massage, oral service and classic full service. Optional add-ons (with upcharges) usually include anal full service, rimming, face-fucking, and light BDSM services.

Prostitutes employed at brothels must be paid a minimum base salary of $2,000 per month, and must be given one day off per week. They are typically expected to fulfil a quota of 4 hours (or 8 half-hours) per day, after which they are eligible to receive 15% to 20% of booking revenues. Thus, a prostitute who serves an average of 10 customers per day with an hourly rate of $400 and a commission rate of 15% can expect to earn $360 per day in addition to her base salary.

According to AEC regulations, condoms must be used during full service (both classic and anal) at all licensed brothels. Failure to do so may result in penalties including fines or suspension.

Private Clubs

Private clubs are high-end establishments that provide services only to their members, and not to the general public. Membership information must be stored securely and can be inspected by AEC officials at any time. Each private club is free to set their own rules, criteria and fees for membership. As of December 2049, there were 22 private clubs in Michigan. Some private clubs have specific themes, and may be branded as hammams (bath houses), saunas or casinos.
