Australian sex workers are the collateral damage in a new US law.
The law is aimed to stop child sex trafficking.
The Fight Online Sex Trafficking Act passed Congress and was signed into law back in April.
The law intends to target websites hosting ads for illegal sex services, the same websites, however, are used by consenting, adult sex workers all over the world, including in Australia.
Australian sex workers were bracing for the impact of the new law and many are suffering from the financial losses.
