Just as there all kinds of variations in individual political beliefs, there all kinds of variations in individual moral compasses. I believe it goes without saying a large number of educated, decent people with otherwise "respectable" lifestyles are completely indifferent to consenting adult prostitution. Judging from how widespread the activity is, be it in a massage spa or a hotel room, many are partaking as well.
There was a recent report published about female college student sugar baby activity at various colleges and universities. It was based on data provided by a large sugar baby connection site called Seeking Arrangement. Sugar baby is just another name for paid consenting adult sexual favors. The only difference is it's long term - think monthly payment. There are over 1,000 documented active sugar baby/sugar daddy arrangements at UCF alone. The top 20 list reads like a college recruitment catalog. It's fair to speculate there are multiple tens of thousands of active instances this type of activity at US colleges as we speak. We're not even counting non-college student arrangements or those using one of the other hookup sites or those who connected by other means.
I respect the moral objection but most often paid sex occurs primarily between consenting adults making a considered choice and they know exactly what they are doing. I don't hesitate to say the majority of people understand it will always flourish, cannot be stopped and in the absence of trafficking or child exploitation most don't care one bit about it.
Absent trafficking, IMO this whole thing is a waste of legal and law enforcement resources. The warrant was poorly justified, sloppily and questionably executed and originated by ill-intended, sometimes ignorant people who want to be on TV, get their name in the paper and advance political careers. Some of the moral outrage ought to be directed at them.
Honestly, I hope the judge harshly admonishes the SA and LE and throws it all out.
