      Before someone gets angry, it means they’re expunging the convictions of child prostitutes, not the people soliciting them

      These offences are automatically filtered out after 5½ years and the law was changed in 2015 so they wouldn’t show up on any DBS check anyway. In other words the convictions were already gone for at least 5 years. Just Jess Phillips showboating without doing anything worthwhile again.

    3. I never knew that it was even a thing until now.

      What sort of a sick, twisted society punishes a fucking child for prostitution? I’m shocked!

      Imagine prosecuting a child for prostitution when you should have been going after their abuser for statutory rape.

      I don’t know how these people sleep at night.

      UK prostitution law being such a mess that it took until 2015, for this to be repealed (though I gamble it’s enforcement was pretty arbitrary in recent decades).

    6. Headline is exactly the opposite of the story.

      >Under the new provisions, people who were convicted or cautioned as children for loitering and soliciting for prostitution offences will automatically have these convictions or cautions disregarded and pardoned.

      They mean prostitution convictions *of children*, not the convictions of people forcing kids into prostitution.

      Interesting that you can fail English close reading and still get work as a headline writer.
