National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) Biography
- Position:
- Con to the question "Should Prostitution Be Legal?"
- Reasoning:
-
“Prostitution creates a setting whereby crimes against men, women, and children become a commercial enterprise…. It is an assault when he/she forces a prostitute to engage in sadomasochistic sex scenes. When a pimp compels a prostitute to submit to sexual demands as a condition of employment, it is exploitation, sexual harassment, or rape — acts that are based on the prostitute’s compliance rather than her consent. The fact that a pimp or customer gives money to a prostitute for submitting to these acts does not alter the fact that child sexual abuse, rape, and/or battery occurs; it merely redefines these crimes as prostitution.”
Female Juvenile Prostitution: Problem and Response, 1992
