The problem here is that even if the majority of prostitutes start out as child or teenage victims, they turn into adults who just might make false accusations to turn a buck...or a Franc, or a Euro or whatever. Especially the percentage which uses intoxication to deal with the life they are in.
And if there is no penalty for the prostitute then there is also no leverage to force them into rehabilitave treatment.
Experementation with laws exactly paralleling this have produced dismal results in Sweden, where child brothels in Muslim no police zones have mushroomed even as adult prostitution amongst the native population decreased.
There are always simple, easy to understand, wrong answers to life’s problems and this is a prime example.
Put the customers in jail.

There are so many potential problems with this kind of law. Which is why in Canada, the law was, and I assume still is, prostitution per se is not illegal. Soliciting is; running a house of prostitution is (short time hotels get hit with that) , but a privately made arrangement for sex for money where no public solicitation by either party has been made, is not. Of course, if minors are involved, all kinds of other charges kick in, like contributing to the delinquency of a minor, illegal sexual activity, etc.. etc.
I can find no sources for this claim you make, can you supply any sources please?
I strongly support the laws in Sweden that have greatly reduced prostitution and human trafficking/pimping. So I am most interested in finding out if what you claim is true or not.
