but I do think Johns need to be jailed because they are ones engaged in criminal conduct, particularly when procuring underage girls. When I was between 10-14 years old, I recall walking down the street and several times having men stop in their cars and try to solicit me as for sex, asking me if "I was working," etc. I told the assholes I'd go right down to the police station down the block and turn them in if they didn't leave me alone. So the fallout of the sex industry goes beyond those who willingly take on the work. Children shouldn't have to deal with men trying to hire them for sex.
I don't know what the best solution is, but something has to be done because the idea that slavery flourishes now more than at any point in history is appalling. Sex, I could care less about. In fact, I've often wished men interested only in sex would hire ADULT sex workers rather than bothering women (or harassing children), who aren't interested in sex only interactions.
