Selling sex is not an offence in Guatemala, and paying an adult directly for sex is not penalised. Decreto 9-2009, the Law against Sexual Violence, Exploitation and Trafficking in Persons, rewrote the Penal Code: exploiting an adult by promoting, facilitating or favouring their prostitution carries five to ten years and a fine of Q50,000–100,000 (Art. 191), and anyone who gives or promises a benefit to a third person in exchange for a sexual act with an adult faces three to five years (Art. 193 Bis). Trafficking (Art. 202 Ter) covers recruiting, transporting or receiving people for 'the prostitution of others', and the victim's consent is never taken into account. No offence aimed specifically at advertising adult sexual services was found.
