Legal Overview

In Luxembourg, selling sex is legal, but publicly soliciting is an offence, and running a brothel, letting premises for prostitution and procuring are crimes. A 2018 law made buying sex a crime when the person is a victim of procuring or trafficking, a minor, or particularly vulnerable, for example because of an irregular or precarious immigration status; a client who reports such offences is not prosecuted. Official regulation of prostitution was abolished in 1968. There is no offence aimed specifically at advertising, but the soliciting and procuring provisions are worded broadly.

In Practice

No provision targets advertising sexual services as such. Public soliciting by "écrits ou par tous autres moyens" is an offence (Art. 382), and anyone who knowingly aids or assists soliciting with a view to prostitution is a procurer (Art. 379bis 5° a). The police report that online escort ads are widespread; whether such ads, or websites carrying them, fall under these provisions was not established from any case law found. Directories may not list escort services here: a site that carries other people's ads can be prosecuted or fined.
