See, this is a case of having more laws than you need.
If they aren't consenting, that's rape, plain and simple. Possibly kidnapping
as well. No need for an extra charge.
If they aren't old enough, then charge the other person with peadophilia or
equivilent. Still no need for an extra charge.
Why the prostitute gets in trouble is beyond me.
Actually, it's not: the prostitute gets in trouble, rather than the customer, to
keep the prostitute scared, complient, stuck in the job, and so that when
someone with some power indulges, they don't get into trouble.
If the law was that the customer might get in trouble for buying, but the
prostitute is perfectly legal in selling, then prostitution would be a far
healthier career than it currently is.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

>That's assuming the prostitute is a willing participant or old enough to
make those decisions.
In the United States, if the prostitute is under age, the person that hired the
prostitute gets charged under federal laws. Laws that apply worldwide. (More
than one non-us resident,non-us citizen has been charged and convicted under
those statutes. That what they did was legal where they did it, was not an
acceptable defense.)[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
