Red light district: A man with learning disabilities will use taxpayers money to visit an Amsterdam prostitute. A 'man of 21 with learning disabilities has been granted taxpayers' money to fly to Amsterdam and have sex with a prostitute. His social worker says sex is a 'human right' for the unnamed individual - described as a frustrated virgin. The man's social worker, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said his client was an 'angry, frustrated and anxious young man' who had a need for sex.
Let him have some fun - I'd want to. Paying for sex is not illegal but soliciting sexual services, kerb crawling and paying for sex with women who have been coerced into prostitution is. The social worker added: 'Who says he can't do what he wants?
We can't place restrictions on a young man who wants to experience the world. The trip emerged in data from Freedom of Information requests which revealed that many councils are using the money from the government's Putting People First scheme to pay for prostitutes, visits to lap dancing clubs and exotic holidays.
Sex holiday: The unnamed year-old will enjoy a holiday in Amsterdam as well as visiting a prostitute. Another man who has a brain injury has even had sex work built into his council care package. This is designed to teach him to become sexually 'self-reliant' after his wife left him and took all their money.
Critics yesterday said the use of taxpayers' money to fund sex trips abroad as 'deeply worrying'. In Greater Manchester and Norfolk, social care clients have used their payments for internet dating subscriptions.
