Hi adilee and welcome,

It's not clear from your post what you think you could be charged with - what are your neigbours trying to 'prove'? It really depends on whether or not you were breaking the law (providing a place for others to work, even occasionally could get you saddled with brothel keeping charges, for example) but there isn't anything I can think of that specifically would relate to Adultwork and working as a prostitute is not illegal.

Have you been told what you are supposed to be 'guilty' of, or on what grounds they have contacted the police? If you are making a lot of noise at night, say?

hey thanks for your reply, not sure what the charges would be, my other half is in the army and it was passed over to them first, they have decided to hand it over to the police and apparently they are running an investigation :( didnt make any noise late at night and didnt actually affect anyone else. it was only myself so cant be classed as running a brothel, i dont honestly think they have much to go on but was just looking to see if anyone else had been in a similair situation, obviously came as abit of a shock finding out the police are involved.

If you are working alone and indoors, there is no legal issue - if you are in Forces accommodation though I suspect it might get tricky (and hopefully somebody else will know more about this than I do), but it's still not a matter for the police unless you are causing some kind of nuisance. I honestly wouldn't worry about that part of it, at least.

If it's the police themselves who have told you they are running an investigation, ask them what it is about, which offence they suspect has been committed, when, and by whom. If it's anybody else, they probably know nothing whatsoever about the law relating to prostitution and are likely just trying to scare you into stopping. Either way, you're not breaking the law :).

While not against the law, army supplied accommodation probably has something in the lease that talks about immoral or other use they wouldn't approve of.

Does your other half know what's been happening? If he didn't, I suspect he will and so will others in his unit.
'The Ian formerly known as SW5'. What they said: "Indispensable", "You are our best resource", and (hours later!) "I'm afraid that you're being made redundant..."
