I just bought the community Minifigures set for my son and there is a woman in gold pants standing next to a red light. Is there any other possibility that she is anything other than a prostitute? I have looked everywhere and found no name or description for this minifigure.

Fairly certain Lego would not have a prostitute in with the educational sets or any other sets  but who really knows.

Ha ha... that's funny!  Looking at other photos of the set, I see that many of the figures are "paired" with another.  She appears to be paired with the little boy in red holding the comic "dragon's head" on a stick?  Based on the red and gold colors, I imagine they are street performers at a Chinese festival, and that red light is supposed to be a Chinese lantern. Still... pretty funny tho!

I had my folks look at it and they thought she could be a crossing guard. It does look like she may be wearing a safety vest of a slightly different shade than her blouse... (Still, gold pants and laced corset?) If so, what is the kid holding if he's going to school?

It's not a crossing guard.

so back to the original assumption ? 

If it was a crossing guard you would think the light would have red, yellow, and green...

You have the wrong pair.
