I think it's so shameful that this atrocity is now attached to Mr. Greg Raymer's reputation for life. A misdemeanor; a harmless, victimless crime.

Who does prostitution hurt?

After some research, I found a woman who had this to say: 
Melissa Farley, PhD of Prostitution Research & Education, argues that prostitution is hardly a victimless crime. In her "Prostitution: Fact sheet on Human Rights Violations" Farley says that prostitution is sexual harassment, rape, battering, verbal abuse, domestic violence, a racist practice, a violation of human rights, childhood sexual abuse, a consequence of male domination of women and a means of maintaining male domination of women.

[b]Sexual harassment?[/b] The woman consented.
[b]Rape?[/b] The woman consented. Make it legal, then she can make police reports if the man becomes overly-aggressive.
[b]Battering?[/b] The woman consented.
[b]Verbal abuse?[/b] Hardly a crime in anyway. Words are just words.
[b]Domestic violence?[/b] Oh, this only happens during prostitution?
[b]Racist practice?[/b] Wow, really? The only racist is you, Ms. Farley. Only you would reach that far as to pay acknowledgement towards the races of the people involved.
[b]A violation of human rights?[/b] THE DAMN WOMAN CONSENTED. SHE KNOWS WHAT SHE'S GETTING HERSELF INTO. AND IF SHE DOESN'T, SHE'LL GROW UP TO BE A PIECE OF SHIT ANYWAY, WHO CARES?? It's not your life.
[b]Childhood sexual abuse?[/b] What does money have to do with this? Prostitution is different from sex simply because money is involved. If its statutory rape, then its a different story. Whether or not money was involved is irrelevant.
[b]A consequence of male domination of women and a means of maintaining male domination of women?[/b] Tell you what women, we'll dominate you as a gender, and in return, if a cruise ship is ever sinking, you and the children will be rescued first. Oh wait, that already is happening. By the way, this is Ms. Farley's response to general prostitution. She was not asked about FEMALE PROSTITUTION. She, herself, decided to dominate males over females by only paying acknowledgement towards to males who take advantage of women.

It just makes me sick that this harmless crime has extremely hindered this nice guy's reputation.

It depends the kind of prostitution...
Some prostitutes are indeed totally consent and have chosen to be prostitute.
But others are not consent and victims of modern slavery from networks (african network, east european network...).
