The recent case of Lewis Loftus, who manipulated men online to lure them to his brothel, underscores the urgent need for legislative change to protect vulnerable women in the sex industry. Loftus, 30, ran a brothel from his mold-infested flat in Widnes for over two years, posing as a woman online to attract clients.

Loftus, who referred to himself as "the boss," controlled at least five sex workers during his operation, which was active from September 25, 2021, to October 29, 2023. His illegal activities were exposed after he inadvertently provided police with a PIN that unlocked not only his current phone but also an earlier seized device, unraveling his scheme.

In court, prosecutor Kevin Liston revealed Loftus's operation involved arranging client meetings and managing finances from his flat, known as House of Dolls. Although he was arrested on May 28, 2022, on suspicion of inciting prostitution for gain, a lack of witnesses stalled the initial case. However, further investigations and Loftus's second arrest led to the discovery of incriminating messages on his phones. These communications detailed his ongoing interactions with sex workers, client arrangements, and recruitment efforts.

Loftus's strategy included posing as a woman online to entice men to visit the brothel and engage with the sex workers, then directing payments to his account. The considerable influx of money into his account contrasted sharply with his status as a state pension recipient, highlighting the commercial nature of his activities.

In messages with sex workers, Loftus portrayed himself as their manager, promising earnings of up to £1,500 a week but also threatening dismissal for non-compliance. He even instructed the women to lie to the police by claiming they were his girlfriends.

Between February 2022 and October 2023, Loftus posted 240 advertisements for the women he recruited on escort websites. Despite the absence of complaints from the women involved, police messages suggested at least five women were under his control. Loftus, with a history of twelve convictions for 26 offenses, continued his illicit activities even while on a suspended sentence.

At a plea and trial preparation hearing, Loftus, of Margaret Court in Widnes, offered a plea for controlling prostitution for gain, which was accepted by the court. His defense highlighted his deteriorating mental health during the COVID lockdown and his addictions to class A drugs and alcohol as contributing factors to his involvement in the brothel operation. Loftus had been confined to a mold-ridden property, diagnosed with ADHD, and prescribed medication for depression and insomnia. He was also sectioned in March 2022 for hearing voices, which his defense argued should mitigate his sentence.

However, Judge Dennis Watson, KC, did not accept that Loftus’s mental health issues diminished his culpability. In sentencing him to 27 months in prison, Judge Watson emphasized the commercial nature of the enterprise and Loftus's control over the women, which included warnings, fines, and eventual dismissal if they did not comply.

Cheshire Police Detective Constable Gary Pindar criticized Loftus for exploiting vulnerable women for financial gain without regard for their safety, reinforcing the need for continued efforts to combat prostitution and protect those exploited by such crimes.

This case highlights the necessity for legal reforms to ensure that sex workers can hire managers for protection without fear of exploitation or legal repercussions. Changing the law to allow safe, regulated support could prevent future cases of exploitation and provide sex workers with the security and autonomy they deserve.

olice have provided an update regarding the apprehension of two women subsequent to raids conducted at alleged brothels operating within massage parlors.

The Northern Exploitation Team of Cheshire Police executed two warrants on Monday. The first was at Genki Health Massage on Lovely Lane in Bewsey, and the second was at Aura Health Massage on Albert Road in Widnes. It is suspected that both establishments are connected, with the raids prompted by intelligence gathered from the community.

In recent weeks, numerous reports have surfaced concerning the sexual exploitation of vulnerable women at these massage parlors.

Following the warrants, a 48-year-old woman was arrested at the Warrington site on suspicion of allowing premises to be used as a brothel, breaching immigration bail, and two counts of modern-day slavery (trafficking and forced labor). Similarly, a 41-year-old woman was apprehended at the Widnes premises on suspicion of allowing premises to be used as a brothel and modern-day slavery (forced labor).

In an update today, both women were released on conditional bail until May 29th. DS Joe Davies, of the Northern Exploitation Team, expressed gratitude to the community for providing the information leading to the warrants. He emphasized the vulnerability of individuals involved in such operations, often subjected to trafficking and other forms of exploitation.

The police urged the community to continue cooperating by reporting any suspicions or information they may have. They emphasized the collaborative effort needed to safeguard the vulnerable and hold perpetrators accountable.

Concerned individuals can contact Cheshire Police at 101 or visit their website to report any suspicions. Additionally, a spokesperson for Warrington Borough Council affirmed their commitment to promoting community safety and stated that relevant intelligence is routinely shared with the police.

There were believed to be 105,000 individuals in the UK who are involved in prostitution, up from 72,000 in 2016. The vast majority of these are women. The cost-of-living crisis is pushing yet more women into sex work and forcing them to take work from violent and exploitative clients. A 2015 National Ugly Mugs Our survey with Leeds University found 49% of sex workers were “worried” or “very worried” about their safety and 47% have been targeted by offenders. Meanwhile, 49% were either “unconfident” or “very unconfident” that police would take their reports seriously. It is estimated that 152 sex workers were murdered in the UK between 1990 and 2015. The charity Beyond the Streets highlights that 76% of those involved in prostitution experience some form of post-traumatic stress disorder as a result of this work.

Currently, sex work is legal in England, Wales and Scotland, but many of the surrounding aspects remain illegal, such as solicitation or running a brothel. The UK government have stated though that whilst they do not intend to change the law around sex work, they are committed to tackling the harm and exploitation associated with sex work. The Scottish government has also been criticised for focussing their support in this area towards charities that are not backed by sex workers, and that are focussed on getting people out of the industry rather than supporting those in it.

The Home Affairs Committee’s 2016 report, Prostitution, recommended a shift to complete decriminalisation. Dan Vajzovic, the National Police Chief Council’s lead for prostitution, who is working alongside government officials to reassess brothel keeping legislation, has called on the government to review prostitution laws to ensure sex workers can work together on the same premises to remain safe. This would “better enable the police to focus our resources on protecting sex workers and tackling those who are controlling or exploiting,” Vajzovic argues. According to National Ugly Mugs, sex workers are ten times safer working indoors than on the streets.

Christine Jardine MP, Liberal Democrat spokesperson for women and equalities, who supports the decriminalisation of brothel keeping, has called for a proper government strategy to accompany it. Also supporting decriminalisation of brothels, Labour MP, Nadia Whittome, has highlighted that “Other laws aimed at sex work – such as soliciting – should also be repealed, to improve sex workers’ rights, safety and ability to leave the sex industry if they choose. Alongside decriminalisation, the government must urgently tackle the growing levels of poverty that are pushing more women into sex work to make ends meet.”

This timely symposium will provide sex workers, safeguarding boards, police forces, local authorities, and social care providers with an opportunity to identify and debate priorities for reform and develop strategies for protecting and expanding the rights of sex workers.
