I don't think treating prostitutes who are under 18 as victims rather than criminals is a liberal denial of reality.
Wheel, giving you the benefit of doubt that you aren't looking to have sex with 16 year olds, you should look at the reality of something like 100,000 children forced into prostitution a year in the US and how they're with a bunch of dirty old men and it's not 18 year olds with 17 year olds as the big picture, and the ducks on planes (or the 17 year old charged as a sex criminal for having a naked picture of himself on his phone) are events so rare that they make the news.
Since this thread is totally derailed I will give a few more comments.
I appreciate the thoughtful response microbet. You seem very sincere. But here is the thing, the overwhelming majority of women who go into prostitution including those who are under 18 are not forced, they do it for money. To say they are statutory victims who are forced against their will is patronizingly insulting to women and those less than 18.
This is the same patronizing attitude that liberals have taken towards black people, we are easily influenced, unintelligent and need laws to regulate our conduct. In fact if you did away with illegal employment of aliens and incentives to have out of wedlock births, the minority of black people who are still in poverty would be out of it in two generations.
