City Considers Sending Sex Trade Customers to 'John School': Report
"John School" would teach about the horrors of human trafficking, the Boston Herald reports.

BOSTON, MA — In an effort to decrease human trafficking, the City of Boston is reportedly weighing the introduction of a "john school" for prostitution customers.
According to the Boston Herald, the idea is a piece in the Boston Police Department's push to combat the online sex trade.
“(The johns) are fueling a violent, violent industry where young people get harmed, and many never come back from that,” the head of the police department’s Human Trafficking Unit told the paper. “It’s not OK to come into our community, exploit our young people and then go home in the suburbs where you think no one’s ever going to know.”
