CBD brothel bust

Awoman caught running a brothel in Mount Gambier’s main street has avoided jail time and conviction because of her connection with Victoria where the practice has been decriminalised.


While operating a brothel is illegal in South Australia, it was decriminalised in Victoria in 2022.


A 52-year-old Taiwanese woman faced the Mount Gambier Magistrates Court in front of Magistrate Koula Kossiavelos last Thursday and was handed a 12 month good behaviour bond for keeping a brothel and unlawful possession, with no convictions recorded.


Prosecutor Stephanie Rickard said the defendant told police she had travelled from Victoria to work in Mount Gambier a month prior to her arrest.


The woman was also ordered to forfeit more than $30,000 in cash police found when undercover officers visited the Commercial Street iCare Day Spa Massage in August last year.
