No Victimless Crimes
Reader comment on: High-End Prostitution Ring Broken, Police Say; 4 Arrested

Submitted by dudelookslikeachimp, Mar 7, 2008 20:52

The primary victims in this case are the authority of government to regulate good social order and derive income from the livelihood of its citizens and the ability of the church to enforce morality.

Time to get serious and make prostitution and conspiracy to commit prostitution a capital crime.
