i havent seen any ads exploiting them at all. most of times, workers are at least 5-6 years older if not 10+ years than advertisement.

Given that convictions of people for trafficking underage prostitutes through redbook have already occurred, the opposite of what is claimed in the grandparent post has already been proven in a court of law.

Well, unless he means "are not" in the strictly current sense, where the fact that the only thing on myredbook.com is the seizure notice proves, fairly conclusively, the claim made (which is, however, then a rather meaningless claim.)

EDIT (all below):

> My point is not to argue against sex work: on the contrary, I think it should be legalized. My point is you, as a Redbook user, are convinced "no foul plays" were going on, but how do you know that?

Indeed, I'd say that one of the clearest harms of the criminalization of prostitution is that it makes it much harder to protect against the grave abuses (like coercion and underage prostitution) because the kind of steps you'd need to take to weed them out are things that anyone involved in an already-illegal trade would refuse to cooperate with because it would increase their vulnerability even if they weren't involved in the grave abuses. Rather than being a tool to fight trafficking, the general criminalization of prostitution promotes trafficking.
