TWO prostitutes arrested after a covert police operation have pleaded guilty to offering unprotected oral sex.

Detectives from the Prostitute Enforcement Taskforce swooped on Innisfail, south of Cairns, after seeing newspaper advertisements for a "sexy, busty Asian called Joanne" and a "sexy, hot, busty, slim exotic".

Innisfail Magistrate's Court heard heard how police acting as clients met the women at separate hotel rooms in the town and questioned them about their prices and their "extra services".

The undercover detectives asked if oral sex could be without protection.

Thai nationals Krissna Nijchanpansri, 50, and Pannee Malcolm, 49, said they agreed to requests of oral sex being performed on them without any form of protection against disease because the client had been a "clean-looking male".

Both women were arrested after the conversations, the court heard.

Nijchanpansri's charge was changed yesterday from providing prostitution to offering to provide prostitution. She said she understood about "using protection" and had told the undercover policemen she could not perform oral sex on him without a condom.

But her client had asked "so many questions" that when he said he wanted to perform oral sex on her she had laughed, said that was no extra charge and consented to it being without protection.

The two women faced court with the help of a translator.

In imposing a $500 fine for each woman, Magistrate Janelle Brassington said language difficulties could have contributed and she believed it was not normal for the pair to offer sex without a prophylactic of some sort.

"But this is for the protection of you and the man involved because no matter how clean they look you don`t know their sexual situation," she said.

"It places you and the man at risk and any other partners of that man."
