    The FBI quietly issued guidance this past spring lifting a categorical hiring ban on applicants who had previously engaged in prostitution, and said that it would instead consider the context of the behaviour in at least some cases. The bureau made a similar change regarding bestiality.

    "We did not want to punish victims of bestiality, victims who were trafficked. We did not want to make it an automatic disqualification for the FBI to consider you,” Patel said.

    If thay was what they meant they should have written about ‘not excluding victims of’ instead of ‘consider the context’.

    Thank you for the link!

        Often prostitutes who are only doing it to survive or women who are being trafficked.

        Those women are not applying to be in the FBI though, which is why I doubt that is who Patel is claiming are being kept from becoming agents.
