LegislationIn 2016 a new penal code was introduced which applied Sharia law to the country.[3] Prostitution is dealt with in two articles:[2] Prostitution

(2) In this section, “payment” means any financial advantage, including the discharge of an obligation to pay or the provision of goods or services (including sexual services) gratuitously or at a discount. ScandalsBrunei beautiesIn 1993, in a diplomatic affair dubbed the "Brunei beauties", Senator Ernesto Maceda, with testimony from Rosanna Roces,[5] claimed that there was illegal recruitment of Filipinas in Brunei as prostitutes and entertainers.[6] Prince Jefri, the brother of Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah was among those linked to the scandal, in which Ruffa Gutierrez, Vivian Velez, Lea Orosa, Aurora Sevilla, Sheila Israel, Rachel Lobangco, Tetchie Agbayani, Maritoni Fernandez, Gretchen Barretto, and Cristina Gonzales were alleged to be amongst the victims.[4][5] The Philippine government downplayed the issue and describe it as merely a "Senate affair" to safeguard relations between Brunei and the Philippines.[6] Shannon MarketicIn 1997 Shannon Marketic, a former Miss USA, sued Jefri Bolkiah, Prince of Brunei, claiming that she and other women were hired for promotional work but instead were held as "virtual prisoners", drugged and used as a sex slaves.[7][8][9][10][11] The Sultan denied the claims.[9] Marketic's lawsuit named Miss USA 1997 Brandi Sherwood as also being a victim, however Sherwood declined to file her own lawsuit.[12] After 18 months of litigation, a judge dismissed the suit on the grounds that the sultan had sovereign immunity as head of state.[13] Sex Trafficking{{see also|Human trafficking in Brunei}}Brunei is a destination and transit country for women and children subjected to sex trafficking. Some migrants who transit Brunei become victims of sex trafficking upon arrival in Malaysia or Indonesia. Some Bruneian women and girls are subjected to sex trafficking domestically. Retention of migrant workers’ travel documents by employers or agencies remains a widespread practice, although the law prohibits it.[14] In 2016 there were prosecutions against three Thai nationals for sex trafficking. Courts sentenced all three individuals to four years in prison and fines of US$22,250, US$14,836, and US$7,418, respectively, but all three accepted time added to their prison sentences ranging from 10 to 30 months in lieu of paying the fines.[14][15] The United States Department of State Office to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons ranks Brunei as a 'Tier 2' country.[14] References1. ^{{cite web|title=The Legal Status of Prostitution by Country|url=http://chartsbin.com/view/snb|website=ChartsBin|accessdate=21 January 2018}} 2. ^1 {{cite web|title=Laws of Brunei - Penal Code|url=http://www.agc.gov.bn/AGC%20Images/LAWS/ACT_PDF/Cap.22a.pdf|website=Attorney Generals Chambers|accessdate=21 January 2018|date=2016}} 3. ^{{cite web|title=Brunei unveils tough Sharia code|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-24624166|website=BBC News|accessdate=21 January 2018|date=22 October 2013}} 4. ^1 {{cite web|last1=Salanga|first1=Elyas Isabelo|title=Looking Back: Showbiz scandals that raised public outcry|url=https://www.pep.ph/lifestyle/19099/looking-back-showbiz-scandals-that-raised-public-outcry|website=PEP|accessdate=21 January 2018|date=2 June 2009}} 5. ^{{cite news|last1=Balingit|first1=Ed|title=Bombshell on Brunei Beauties|url=https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/soc.culture.filipino/uxF2cI2yMzM|work=Philippine Times Journal|accessdate=21 January 2018|pages=1 & 6|date=22 September 1993}} 6. ^1 {{cite news|title=Palace washes hands off Brunei beauties|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1370&dat=19930930&id=tWYVAAAAIBAJ&sjid=FwsEAAAAIBAJ&pg=6749,4303576|accessdate=24 December 2013|newspaper=Manila Standard|date=30 September 1993}} 7. ^{{Cite news|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=437&dat=19970309&id=-u0jAAAAIBAJ&sjid=LUQDAAAAIBAJ&pg=1841,3196556|title=Former Miss USA sues Sultan of Brunei over sex|date=9 March 1997|work=The Nation|access-date=|via=}} 8. ^{{Cite news|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1891&dat=19971217&id=P7wfAAAAIBAJ&sjid=D9gEAAAAIBAJ&pg=5909,1999118|title=Former Miss USA wants court to have jurisdiction over Brunei prince|date=17 December 1997|work=|newspaper=Gadsden Times|access-date=|via=}} 9. ^1 {{Cite news|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1298&dat=19970305&id=_i0zAAAAIBAJ&sjid=1wcGAAAAIBAJ&pg=4874,755547|title=Sultan denies he kept girl as slave|date=5 March 1997|work=|newspaper=The Free Lance-Star|access-date=|via=}} 10. ^{{Cite news|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=437&dat=19970306&id=eKZNAAAAIBAJ&sjid=s0MDAAAAIBAJ&pg=6603,1926425|title=Media frenzy follows suit of ex-Miss USA|last=|first=|date=6 March 1997|work=The Nation|access-date=|via=}} 11. ^{{cite news|last1=Callahan|first1=Maureen|title=The sex-obsessed world of Brunei|url=https://nypost.com/2014/05/10/inside-the-wacky-sex-obsessed-world-of-brunei/|work=New York Post|accessdate=21 January 2018|date=10 May 2014}} 12. ^{{Cite news|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=2026&dat=19970604&id=EU8tAAAAIBAJ&sjid=utAFAAAAIBAJ&pg=6337,2685928|title=Miss USA won't sue Sultan of Brunei|date=4 June 1997|work=Moscow-Pullman Daily News}} 13. ^{{Cite news|url=https://www.newspapers.com/image/122993080/?terms=shannon%2Bmarketic|title=Of Sultans and Swinging|last=Graves|first=David|date=19 March 1998|work=|newspaper=The Age}} 14. ^1 2 {{cite web|title=Brunei 2017 Trafficking in Persons Report|url=https://www.state.gov/j/tip/rls/tiprpt/countries/2017/271153.htm|website=U.S. Department of State|accessdate=21 January 2018}}{{PD-notice}} 15. ^{{cite news|title=Three Thais jailed, face caning for forcing a 17-year-old girl into prostitution in Brunei|url=http://www.nationmultimedia.com/detail/national/30283527|work=The Nation|accessdate=21 January 2018|date=8 April 2016}} Further reading
