‘Anna’ Sex Slave or Sex Worker? Diid her 'story' influence clause 6 of Lord Morrow's

[The Libertarian]

They have a degree of control over what the media reports in ROI, although that's about to change.

Laura one thing I suggest is using direct quotes from people to the JOC last year such as Dr. Friedman, Ireland's leading STI expert who is vehemently against The Swedish Model and who were ignored by the loons!

This quote from the article in the OP:

''Anna claims this treatment meted out, continued almost unabated for at least the next two months. Concurrently, up to twenty clients per day in Galway paid €80 to €500 to have sex with a gaunt, starved and abused, young woman.''

Assuming this figure is true, (and TORL et al do indeed claim to believe every word of the Anna testimony), these 'clients' will have been well aware that Anna was under duress and suffering serious abuse.

As having sex with a trafficking victim is already illegal and carries very serious penalties, it's fair to ask what possible deterrent criminalising clients would have in this case? If these '20 men a day' were prepared to risk long jail sentences, how is a fine and a minor criminal record going to make the slightest difference?

I think the meeting the ladies here had recently with The Minister strongly indicates the insanity on the way has absolutely nothing to do with the prevention of trafficking for sexual exploitation, absolutely nothing and even the pretense of that is now more or less off the table!
The Swedish experience also proves such insanity enables trafficking and further abuse of sex workers and is a boon also to nasty pimps and psychotic clients!
Literally nothing good will come out of this proposed insanity and a hell of a lot of harm from it is absolutely inevitable which its Gobshite supporters know very well and indeed many of them will delight in, along of course with making a couple of pounds out of it to 'rescue' down on their knees compliant sex workers!
