I remember the old days of the parlors on Spenard Road. My mother actually owned the place that is now a Thai take out place, I believe. Not all of the girls were on drugs, some just needed money very badly and felt they didn't have any other option. I think that as long as the both parties are legal adults and both are willing, that they aren't hurting anyone so where's the issue? These women get beaten, raped, robbed and murdered and all people talk about is that they're a sex worker. That should have nothing to do with it! This woman didn't deserve any five year sentence. It sounds like everyone was grown and doing this by choice. Bottom line is there will always be sex workers and no end of customers.
