I don't remember the May Act. But I do remember "johns" being arrested in Boston.
"
Here in Boston, the story is much the same as it is elsewhere. The Boston Police Department has
just launched its sixth encore of Operation Squeeze. The procedure is simple: groups of police
officers, male and female, assume the roles of prostitutes and johns in areas where prostitution is
rampant. Once the undercover streetwalker is solicited, backup officers move in and make the
arrest Police release the names and residences of the arrested johns to the press, which sometimes
publishes them. Punishment ranges from fines and mandatory AIDS education to hours of community
service, including sweeping and cleaning the very streets those men cruised in search of sex. "
I do remember story about stripper whose defense was "Those soldiers are fighting to save American
womanhood aren't they? Well, we're showing them what they're fighting for."
