I’ve never thought it was worth wasting time prosecuting rich guys for paying a pro hundreds of dollars an hour for sex. I know lot’s of arguements about why prostitution is bad, but the woman who make 100’s of thousands a year (not typical certainly), such as the women spitzer met with, are generally not being victimized by someone else.
The money spent enforcing prostitution laws would be better spent to get help to the drug addicted and abused women who aren’t really choosing to be involved in prostitution. Canada has laws against prostitution and pandering (pimping), yet women/men are free to charge for their time and do what they agree to do in private. I assume it’s based on the idea that adults have the right to do what they want in privacy and that if there are no pimps, brothels or streetwalkers, it’s not really enough of an issue to involve the police in.
