Not at all. I am staying on the topic. The race of the people involved has little to do with their arrests. You are trying to say he used drugs to coerce them, and yet there is no evidence to show that.

I am celebrating the diversity of the sex trade. Aren't you in favor of integrating the pimp/prostitute business relationship?

I am in favor of legalizing prostitution. The race of any of the participants is irrelevant to me.

No, I am one who thinks women should be allowed to decide for themselves what they do with their bodies. The exploitation happens mainly because it is illegal.

To combat trafficking and other abuses against women in the sex trade, some argue in favor of legalizing prostitution. This is a serious mistake, according to the conclusions of a recently published study of how legalized prostitution operates in the U.S. state of Nevada.
In "Prostitution and Trafficking in Nevada: Making the Connections," Melissa Farley argues that legalization has not improved conditions for women, but has worked in favor of pimps and brothel owners. The boom in the sex trade in Nevada has also made the state one of the main destinations for victims of human trafficking, observed U.S. Representative Carolyn Maloney in the book's foreword.
In fact, after a two-year study of how prostitution functions in Nevada, one of the book's conclusions is that prostitution and sex trafficking are linked in the state as in other localities. "Sex trafficking happens when and where there is a demand for prostitution and a context of impunity for its customers," Farley stated.
Moreover, the legalization of prostitution has created a culture that promotes the sex trade, and far from eliminating illegal activities, both legal and illegal venues flourish. Farley calculated that Nevada's illegal prostitution industry is nine times greater than the state's legal brothels.
This is similar to what has happened in other places that have legalized prostitution, such as the Netherlands and the Australian state of Victoria, she added. In the former, legalized prostitution has made the country one of the major destinations for trafficked women, said Farley, citing several studies and declarations made by local authorities.
By contrast, places that have taken serious steps to stamp out prostitution, such as Sweden, have also seen a decrease in sex trafficking, Farley argued.

Good info. Now we need to work on the illegal sex trade industry and leave the legal sex workers alone.

The studies I linked disagreed with the claim that it has benefitted the pimps and brothels and harmed the women.
That the illegal activities still flourish is the fault of the legal trade? How so? Surely that cannot be determined simply because the illegal activities still occur.
That women who choose to work in the sex industry go to places where it is legal is not a surprise. If those women are foced to work there, then prosecute those who force them. If they are not forced, but do so of their own free will, then leave them alone.

She will if she wants out. It works the same way as it does in a domestic abuse situation.
But with the prostitution being illegal, the woman has the added fear of prosecution for her actions.

Are you aware of the number of recantations of allegations of domestic violence by women fearful of their abuser?

Yes I am. I am sure there are also false accusations.
This will never be a perfect system. But then, it is one dealing with people, so perfection is almost unattainable.
But making prostitution legal would give the pimps one less threat and the women a better chance.
