Alleged prospective sex buyers in this scheme first had to respond to a survey and provide information online, including their driver’s license photos, their employer information, credit card information, and they often paid a monthly fee to be part of this.”

Wait, what? (͡•_ ͡• )

That should make the prosecutors jobs much easier.

Wow, imagine willingly providing that information to what you know is a criminal organization. The people who signed up are obviously a major security hazard to whoever they work for.

[-] Phlogiston@lemmy.world 113 points 1 year ago

Yeah. This is the real issue here.

Sex work should be legal and the morality discussion here is about people lying to their spouses and if anybody is being forced into sex work… all interesting topics.

But anybody implicated in this situation needs all security clearances and access dropped because they are high risk morons.

It's signing up to a blackmail scheme.

Oh, well in that case will you need me to provide my clearance number as well?

Obviously it’s the sex workers that are going to jail for this, for tricking all these high level citizens.

Or better yet, we actually publicly prosecute them, or at least "accidentally" leak the list

I'm guessing this is prostitution with extra steps to make sure they can wiggle out of it, but if we actually held them to consequences things would get better quickly
