16-Oct-05	Sex with trafficked women is rape, says minister	Observer Mark Townsend	The UK and Sweden are hosting a seminar in Brussels on trafficking. Home Office ministers believe that men who have sex with trafficked prostitutes should be charged with rape. Thousands could be prosecuted. Prostitution and the trafficking of women have become the third highest 'black market' income earner after drugs and the arms trade. There is "a significant shift towards criminalising men who pay for sex. Men are not now considered to have committed an offence, although it is illegal for women to solicit and for men to 'kerb crawl' or to pimp women." Former Europe minister Denis MacShane said: 'It's time for honest language. When a man has sex with a frightened, beaten and intimidated woman there is only word to describe it and that is rape. I am pleased that the Home Office now recognises that. We need to see charges against men who have sex with women who are living in fear after being trafficked.'
