Report: NYC Group Handing Condoms to Prostitutes Gets Millions in Taxpayer Funds

A nonprofit in New York City is accused of making a sex trafficking problem worse by giving condoms to prostitutes in the Roosevelt Avenue corridor. A van belonging to the AIDS Center of Queens County was seen recently on 41st Avenue where workers doled out the condoms, the New York Post reported Monday. The area, known as the “Market of Sweethearts,” has long been a problem for neighbors who want the illicit activity stopped and their community cleaned up. A leader of the local group called the Restore Roosevelt Avenue Coalition said the organization receives daily complaints about the issues.
