Swedish PM wants tougher sentences for those who buy sex from prostitutes

26. Exactly ... and further underground means ...

More shadiness, more drugs, more disease, more profits, more weapons, more DEATH ...

You know, pretty much EXACTLY what's happened w/the War on Drugs. Same EXACT situation.

Apparently, someone here believes that every time someone solicits a prostitute, they meet her pimp, too, and pay him directly. I have no experience with paying for sex but I'm PRETTY sure ... that really isn't 'how it works'.

Furthermore, in a manner of speaking, EVERY Prostitute, male or female, who shares their proceeds w/someone else as part of their 'business model'... be it the kind, elderly Madam with The Heart of Gold down at the Best Little Whorehouse in Texas, to the Corporate 'Escort Service', to the dastardly Ukrainian Mobster who completely tricked the beautiful but desperately poor 18 year old orphan with the offer of a 'Free College Education' if she'd just come to Sweden and 'work in his watch factory' ... One could argue in EVERY case ... that they are being 'trafficked'.

IOW, not only is it rare that you would 'know' as a John because you'd rarely see 'behind the curtain', but also the definition of 'trafficked' is nebulous (at best) to begin with.
