   Every single one of these people need our prayers and compassion. How sad to live a life trapped as they are, even when it’s their poor choices that landed them here.

   I struggle with this from a law standpoint. If I go on a date and take someone to a $100.00 dinner and we go and have sex that’s legal but if I skip dinner and just give her the hundred bucks that’s illegal. I am a Christian and morally I believe this is dead wrong and a sin, however, I don’t see that the law is equitable in this regard.

   REGARDING:
   “So paying for sex is a sex offense but getting paid for sex is not……someone help me out here.”

   Since you asked:

   From
   http://www.leg.state.fl.us/statutes/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&URL=0700-0799/0796/Sections/0796.07.html

   The 2016 Florida Statutes 796.07 Prohibiting prostitution and related acts.—
   (1) As used in this section:
   (a) “Prostitution” means the giving or receiving of the body for sexual activity for hire but excludes sexual activity between spouses.
   [This just defines what is meant, dhg]

   (2) It is unlawful:
   (e) For a person 18 years of age or older to offer to commit, or to commit, or to engage in, prostitution, lewdness, or assignation.
   [This forbids doing it, dhg]

   (f) To solicit, induce, entice, or procure another to commit prostitution, lewdness, or assignation.
   [This forbids pimps from taking on or buying people for sexual commerce, dhg]

   (g) To reside in, enter, or remain in, any place, structure, or building, or to enter or remain in any conveyance, for the purpose of prostitution, lewdness, or assignation. [This forbids prostitutes from entering vehicles, motels or homes for sexual commerce, dhg]

   (h) To aid, abet, or participate in any of the acts or things enumerated in this subsection.
   [no nothing related to sexual commerce, dhg]

   (i) To purchase the services of any person engaged in prostitution
   [This forbids paying for sexual favors -- other than between married people, per 1 (a), dhg]

   I hope that cleared it up.

    These are not the people they are trying to hook up with! The ESCO uses undercover officers to lure them in, Im sure they are nice looking as well.

    Never doing drugs it seems to me these are the faces of long time drug and substance abuse which robs any of your (maybe) one time attractiveness and self-worth.
    Drugs are the source of most crime in our area.
    Basically, just have to say “YUC” here.

    How? Most of those faces would stop the proverbial 10-day clock!!!
