DOJ Files Lawsuit Against Tennessee Over Aggravated Prostitution Law

  • The U.S. Justice Department has sued Tennessee over its felony aggravated prostitution law, which imposes harsher penalties on HIV-positive individuals.
  • The law treats HIV-positive people differently, without considering the actual risk of harm, and categorizes aggravated prostitution as a violent sexual offense.
  • The lawsuit follows a DOJ investigation that found the law violates the Americans with Disabilities Act, and it is separate from another federal lawsuit filed by LGBTQ+ and civil rights advocates.
