- article comment11 years agoA Tough Topic: Sex TraffickingLeonard313MichiganI like to think I am progressive, but the strategy of conflating prostitution to human or sex trafficking is a convenient way of getting around free will. No one in their right mind would defend child prostitution or forced prostitution. If you can make all prostitution forced prostitution then you have to address all prostitution. This is an incredible disingenuous argument and I fear it is gaining political traction. There was a study done a few years back about sex trafficking in Atlanta which focused on Asian massage parlors. It report got a lot of sympathy for the working girls. AMPs were raided and it made great press for the APD. Local news stations got some titillating coverage during sweeps week, and a bunch of Asian girls got arrested, or rescued, depending on your point of view. When another group looked at the report and its underlying data it showed that if the report was correct then nearly 1 in 4 Asians in Atlanta were trafficked. It also numerous other flaws in the report. This go nearly attention from the media. A few years ago indoor prostitution was not illegal in Rhode Island. this was due to how poorly the legislation was written. It specifically prohibited street walking but nothing else. It was challenged because the customer was to be charged with a misdemeanor and the prostitute was to be charged with a felony. As this got more and more media attention it became an embarrassment for the state. The state was able to quickly pass a law to close the loophole. First thing the cops did was to bust escorts. They then set up stings to catch the customers. They actually got the Patriots mascot. Then they went after the AMPs and arrested a number of women. The problem was none of them were trafficked or were doing this against their will. Again that got little news coverage. They also use the argument that money does not equal consent. It basically says that when you exchange money for sex, you are not getting the consent to have sex. It is in fact a form of rape. No women can consent to being a prostitute no matter how intelligent she is, well educated she is, it just cannot be done. This is an insane argument used as a means to get around the issue of free will and choice. If you build a police and legal machine for this then you will have to feed the machine. We have the highest prison population in the world for a reason. Just think about it.
