What can I do if my sex work client sexually assaulted me?

Question

Accepted Answer

Sexual harassment at work is illegal, and that applies to sex workers just like anyone else.
Sexual assault is any sexual contact that you don’t consent to. If a client forces sexual contact on you or does something you didn’t agree to, that’s sexual assault and the client can be arrested and prosecuted.
The following things are illegal – they’re either sexual harassment or sexual assault:
• a client groping you at any time when you’re not providing sexual services, including when you’re in a waiting room,
• a client doing something or forcing you to do something you haven’t agreed to,
• offensive or unwelcome sexual behaviour, including offensive jokes and explicit posters that have a significant effect on your wellbeing.
