Amazon and Microsoft employees caught up in sex trafficking sting

This is one of the reasons that many argue for the legalization of prostitution. If there is a state-regulated market for sex workers, is is much easier to identify and prosecute sex worker slavery and exploitation. It also becomes possible for sex consumers to restrict themselves to the regulated market, and thus avoid contributing to the exploitation of women and children. Without such a legalized market, cases of exploitation and slavery are no longer easily distinguishable from voluntary and of-age prostitution.

So most prostitution is sex trafficking, it seems.
