A federal appeals court has rejected an effort by sex workers and their advocates to have California's laws that criminalize prostitution declared unconstitutional.
A three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit on Wednesday affirmed a trial judge's earlier ruling that said laws prohibiting prostitution were in the public interest and did not unconstitutionally interfere with free speech guarantees, the right to free association or the right to conduct business.
