Adult Entertainment Laws in Paraguay
Legal Overview
Paraguay does not criminalise selling or buying sex between adults. The Penal Code punishes exploiting a person who sells sex by taking advantage of their earnings (rufianería, article 129a, up to five years) and, as amended by Law 3440 of 2008, inducing into prostitution a person under 16, or a minor aged 16 or over by abuse or while responsible for their education (up to five years or a fine; six if commercial, eight if under 14). The comprehensive anti-trafficking law (Law 4788 of 2012) punishes recruiting, transporting or harbouring a person in order to profit from their prostitution with up to eight years, coercion being an aggravating factor rather than an element. No offence specifically covers keeping a brothel or advertising sexual services.

In Practice
No law makes it an offence to advertise adult sexual services. Under the anti-trafficking law, promoting or offering a victim through mass media or computer networks aggravates trafficking (up to twenty years), and recruiting for sexual exploitation is itself trafficking. Hosting providers are not liable for users' content unless they know it is unlawful and fail to remove it promptly (art. 12 Law 4868 of 2013). A site may carry ads for adult sex workers here.
