Usage since 1956 / 2003

Latest comment: 5 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Since the offence of "keeping a brothel" is statutory since 1956, and a more precisely defined offence of "keeping a brothel used for prostitution" since 2003, plus additional offences of using or allowing to be used premises for the purposes of prostitution, I'd have thought the offence of keeping a disorderly house is no longer preferred. Are there any recent examples of prosecutions for the offence? Hairy Dude (talk) 05:08, 12 February 2019 (UTC)Reply
