This is not about morality. Prostitution is legal in many places around the world including here in America. This is about what I believe is an improper morals charge against Taylor.
“When a bar serves alcohol to a minor and something bad happens, the establishment is held responsible, regardless if a fake ID was shown.”
Maybe not
**************************************************
(2) If prior to serving alcohol an alcohol server diligently inspects a patron’s ID and reasonably concludes it is legally acceptable (even if it turns out to be a fake ID), and the appearance of the minor indicates the minor could be twenty-one years of age or older, the alcohol server has a defense to a charge of selling to a minor.

It appears that the laws in the US, in many cases, have little to do with reality, truth or traditional morality.
In today's world, it seems more often than not that the innocent victims are punished and the guilty are rewarded.
Unfortunately, for Taylor the girl was, in fact, a minor and he did have sexual intercourse with her, so by his own admission he was guilty of the crime.
The "She said she was 18" defense did not fly.
As I find prostitution to be abhorrent and degrading to everyone involved, I may not be unbiased in judging Taylor.
