all sorts of morals are the object of laws: murder, theft, lying, assault. prostitution is no victimless. the woman the article is about is a mess. the men that assaulted her and left her a mess are guilty of 'moral' lapses. her children, her marriage, are in shambles. most prostitutes are addicts? numbing their pain, because, as much as you want to cry 'victimless', it isn't. it is a sad, sad mess.
