weird that anyone would think prostitution would alleviate sex crimes. I'm sure every human who's been raped will be relieved to know that their rapist wouldn't have had to rape them if prostitution was legal.

There isn't any expert in the criminal field who actually believe that rape is result of lack of sex and to imply it is,is victim blaming.
