New debates about the oldest profession

We can argue over the morality of prostitution, but it's not all about men victimizing women.

    prosecution

    I just wanted to point out that prosecutors don't really have choice as to whom they prosecute. They are expected to bring suits against anyone who they have evidence on. If he wanted to not be a hypocrite, he wouldn't have brought action against in the various call girl cases, sure - but when the police bring him evidence that's a clincher, how exactly is he to respond?

    So far, I haven't heard anything like underhanded deals with escort services in regards to prosecution. So, in some way, his professional morality is intact.
