The suburban community of College Park, Maryland, is a major hub for prostitution on the east coast of the U.S.

The town, connected to the University of Maryland, is reportedly well known for its friendliness towards sex workers. According to authorities the area has a lot of hotels, is relatively safe, and doesn’t attract much scrutiny for men looking to pay for sex.
