I don't remember why this was ever brought to my attention, but Rhode Island has long remained the only state in the nation (other than parts of Nevada) where indoor prostitution is legal. Or I guess I should say "was" legal.
The state has officially closed a loophole from a 1980 law that cracked down on prostitution solicitation in public, but said nothing about transactions in private. Rhode Island's governor says the new law as a step forward and said it ended Rhode Island's "terrible" distinction.
