Berlin - German officials are drafting legislation to imprison men for up to 10 years if they obtain sexual services from women forced into prostitution, according to the news magazine Der Spiegel on Saturday.

A Justice Ministry spokesman confirmed to Deutsche Presse-Agentur that a discussion document about the bill was under review, but gave no details.

He said the parties in Chancellor Angela Merkel's coalition had agreed to clamp down on prostitution by duress.

Regular prostitution is legal in Germany, with cities zoning land for brothels. Prostitutes appear on TV and pay income tax.
