Moral Absolutes Ping.
Couple things:
1. Prostitution is bad enough (except for the liberaltarians among us).
2. This is apparently not just about voluntary prostitutes, but those forced into prostitution.
3. Considering the many articles posted on FR about girls and women forced into prostitution in Europe and the Philippines (as well as other Asian countries like Nepal and India) this is apparently a not uncommon crime; in fact the prostitution "industry" seems to overlap the "sex slave" industry.
and
4. When predatory and casual/meaningless sexual behavior is considered socially acceptable, all manner of extreme and vicious sexual crimes is an inevitable outcome.
Freepmail wagglebee and/or me if you want on/off this pinglist.
In the US the technical term for this is Rape. The pimps, madams, and johns should be charged with such.
