"There are those who say prostitution is a victimless crime. This certainly shows that it is not," said Metro police spokesman Don Aaron.

Stupid argument.
Kidnapping people and forcing them to do things against their will is where it becomes evil.

If they had forced her to sell cupcakes would they say that selling cupcakes was bad?

This was not prostitution. It was slavery. Slavery is not a victimless crime, prostitution on the other hand is a victimless crime.

It is disgusting that law enforcement is overlooking the fact that there was human trafficking as well as slavery going on here just so they can drive home a point.

No, it shows that sexual slavery is not a victimless crime. It also shows that the police spokesman feels a need to assert that sex is criminal, at least when somebody makes a profit in the deal.

Sex, even when icky, is generally legal. Giving someone money, even for nothing, is also generally legal. But putting the two together somehow destroys society?

Prostitution is not a good thing, but neither is ditch digging. And it’s a pity that some people try to earn a living doing either. Prosecute prostitution if it gets out of hand, but spare us the rationalizations and moral indignation.
