Content: As of 2015, a person engaging in prostitution is not required to register as a sex offender unless there is a minor child involved. Why is Prostitution Illegal
Supporters of prostitution argue that it is a “victimless crime,” as those involved are often two consenting adults. Lawmakers and the majority of the public see prostitution differently, however. Commonly, it is viewed as harmful to the individuals involved, and to society as a whole. Prostitution laws are aimed at preventing the spread of sexually transmitted diseases, protecting minors who might become involved in, or forced into the sex trade, and to deter other crimes that are often committed in conjunction with prostitution. Many people also believe that prostitution exploits women. Real Life Prostitution Cases
Cases related to prostitution and the sex trade plague courts across the U.S. and around the globe. Judges stretch sentencing in their attempts to adequately punish those guilty of luring or forcing others into prostitution. Prostitution and Sex Trafficking of a Minor
On February 27, 2015, Chief U.S. District Judge, Fred Biery, broke down as he told the courtroom that the case of “physical and psychological theft of innocence of children” by four people convicted of trafficking minors as escorts was the most egregious case he had heard in his 21 years on the federal bench. In three separate trials of four defendants, prosecutors painted a picture of greed, addiction, and sex, promoted by modern technology, when they recruited underage girls into prostitution, advertising them over the Internet as escorts.
