Prostituted girls and voracious foreigners: sexual exploitation in Medellín. On March 28, a 36-year-old American citizen was discovered by the Police in a hotel in the El Poblado neighborhood, along with two girls aged 12 and 13.
The case sparked anger and the mayor, Férrez Gutiérrez, signed two decrees this Monday that prohibit “sexual offer for six months” in the area. In Colombia, prostitution is not illegal or penalized.
