Police are behind a plan to introduce “managed” prostitution in a Welsh city amidst claims girls of 14 are selling sex on the streets for £2.
The scheme, expected to be tested in Newport, is believed to be the first of its kind on this side of the border.
Gwent Police said it has looked at pilots run in the north of England and are looking to see if it can be applied to the Pill area of Newport.
A spokeswoman for the force said: “Officers have looked at pilot initiatives implemented by police forces in the north of England and are in the very early stages of looking to see what, if any, solutions can be applied to the issues in Pill."
