It is a crime in most states,
No hughie, - 'outlawing' consensual sex is an infringement upon life & liberty.
if the gain is money, and sure you can. It's done all the time in states which are free republics. Stings, search warrants, anonymous tips, undercover cops... all legal.
I can hear your deep bluenosed breathing from here hughie. You do love police state tactics, don't you? What a loonie.
I came up with that WV case in less than a minute, using google. I could find 100 more. You know it. I know it.
Come up with some cases where amateurs have been subject to "Stings, search warrants, anonymous tips, undercover cops" -- and then convicted of prostitution. Betcha can't, hughie..
And you have "no problem" with WV's laws. You're a self-contradiction. Many states have outlawed prostitution, in accordance with their 10th Amendment rights to do so.
You have never established that States have such "rights".

I don't have to. The constitution does.
