On the latest episode of "Depraved and Debaucherous," we delved into the recent crackdown on sex work in France during the 2024 Olympics. As the global event unfolds in Paris, French authorities have ramped up efforts to curb prostitution and trafficking, which are believed to surge with such large-scale international gatherings. The police have intensified documentation checks, especially targeting undocumented migrants who engage in sex work, driving them into more perilous and clandestine circumstances.

Critics argue that these measures prioritize Paris's image over addressing the exploitation's root causes.
