Adult Entertainment Laws in Kenya
Rättslig översikt
Selling sex is not itself an offence under Kenya's Penal Code, but most of the activity around it is. Living on the earnings of prostitution, controlling a sex worker for gain and persistent soliciting by a man in public are felonies (ss. 153–154); keeping, managing or knowingly letting a brothel is a felony (s. 156); and soliciting in public for immoral purposes makes a person idle and disorderly (s. 182). The Sexual Offences Act 2006 punishes causing a person to become a prostitute and controlling their prostitution for gain with at least five years (s. 17). Former municipal by-laws in Nairobi, Mombasa and Kisumu against loitering or importuning for prostitution are used for arrests. A 2023 Judiciary proposal to delete ss. 153–155 had not been enacted; no 2025 court ruling on sex work was found.

No provision specifically on advertising adult sexual services was found. Public soliciting is an offence (ss. 153(1)(b), 182(f)), as is trading in obscene matter (s. 181), and inducing a person to be a client of a child through media or advertisements is child prostitution (Sexual Offences Act s. 15(c)). The Computer Misuse and Cybercrimes Act has no prostitution offence. Whether a site carrying adult escort ads lives on the earnings of prostitution is untested. Directories may not list escort services here: a site that carries other people's ads can be prosecuted or fined.
