      You do realize these women were sex slaves and that’s why the cops busted the place, right?

          Well actually, it’s the opposite. Currentlyand historically trafficking victims are treated as the criminal and the pimps/buyers as ancillary players. Resulting in multiple types of trauma to the victim.

          The prosecutor in Florida did a press conference. The women were promised good jobs in the USA. Their passports were taken. They were locked in the spa & forced to have sex. They didn't speak english and couldn't ask for help. They were scared, felt shamed & embarrassed. .

          One point you could make that if postutution was legal there would be protective rights to workers in the industry and that the black market wouldn't have completed control and causing situations like this r wouldn't happen if it was legal with rules and regulations

          Please post links to stats that back up your "routinely mischaracterize situations like this" allegation. I might agree if the subject were drugs, but most cops don't care about private sexual encounters as long as it doesn't involve minors, prostitution, trafficking, or assault.
