In today’s craigslist hooker news
This story is for those who say prostitution is a victimless crime and that cops should be going after real criminals.
St. Paul Woman Charged With Prostituting Teen Over Internet:
ST. PAUL (AP) - A St. Paul woman is accused of keeping a 17-year-old girl in her basement and forcing her into prostitution.
Jessica Elizabeth Lopez is charged in Ramsey County with promoting, soliciting and receiving profits from prostitution.
Authorities say Lopez forced the girl to get the name “Jessica” tattooed on her stomach to label her as Lopez’s property.
Lopez allegedly found clients for the girl on the craigslist web site.
Even if prostitution was legalized there would still be people like this trying to get around the system.

This is not about people for/against prostitution at all. This is about the crime of sequestration/forcing a kid to prostitution (+pedophily etc..).
It’s a totally different issue here…

You’d be surprised how many people would want to make this a story about legalizing prostitution.

“Even if prostitution was legalized there would still be people like this trying to get around the system.”
That statement makes no sense at all. Gambling is legal and people abuse it all the time. If anything these kinds of situations would happen less if prostitution was legalized. And we wouldn’t have these poor women on the streets being targeted by every crazy that happens by. Lets face it, your personal beliefs get in the way of you being able to look at a given subject in an unbiased way.

Prostitution IS a victimless crime. The story you wrote about is a kid who was KIDNAPPED and RAPED and that is something disgusting that should not be tolerated.

It doesn’t matter what it was for!! That has no merit! So if she was kidnapped and raped for the purpose of Jesus, it would be ok? And let me tell, you that has happened before.
People should be able to do what they want with their own bodies. It should have nothing to do with you. Only when they lie and cheat and spread disease does it become an issue.
