The social conditions of the day in Chicago (site of one of the most destructive race riots in history provoked by blacks using a beach reserved for whites.) The make-up of the jury would be unusual if there was not a rigged jury. There were blacks in Chicago but none were seated on the jury. Why?
It would be stunning if it were otherwise.
There have been laws against prostitution for centuries. This discussion has nothing to do with passing laws against it, just about injustice and selective use of the law.
Yes, I admit that using someone's nic, to poke fun at another poster is childish; however, you brought it upon yourself!
The law was NOT about bringing down "major prostitutions 'rings' "...whatever the bloody hell you imagine THAT to be! Go read the MANN ACT; educate yourself and stop posting your own benighted imaginings!

And we will all feel good about it.
Different categories but clever none the less.
