What exactly is wrong with being an escort / prostitute?

I understand that not paying taxes is a "bad thing" (but not so morally bad when said taxes are just used to bail out rich government donors) but why the fascination with the fact she did a spot of whoring for cash?

Or is the USA so backward that prostitution is illegal?

Sex in exchange for $100: a night in a cell

Sex in exchange for $5000: a trial for tax evasion

Sex in exchange for half the estate of a multi-millionaire: traditional family values, elect that person president.

It is when she was being raided for tax evaision. I don't realy see what you problem is...

Recently in a leafy village near where i live in the UK, a six bedroom house was raided on suspicion of being a brothel. It was and various people were arrested.

The way they found out was that the lady running the place HAD PAID TAX on her 200K income.

She declared her services as the usual massage / escort stuff.

Seems you cant win.

"Prostitution is illegal in most civilized countries."

Which would those be? What is described here (putting up an internet page, and making arrangements on your own behalf with an adult who saw the information) would be legal in most of Europe (I think all, but that's a lot of countries these days). There was even some fuss in Germany a couple of years ago about whether people should continue to collect unemployment benefits if they have turned down work as a prostitute, or if prostitution deserves a special status. I'm willing to believe it's illegal in most of northern Africa, but "most" implies well over half, and I'm not even sure it will make 50%. That depends on your definition of "civilized," of course.

Which countries were you thinking of?

"So prostitution is illegal in the US... yet if you make a lot of money out of it, the government wants some? Surely they can't have it both ways..."

It's the old Al Capone tactic. They can't prove, in a court of law, that she was a prostitute but they can prove that she made a lot of money without paying tax. She's (allegedly) guilty of two separate crimes, but since they can only prove one, that's the one they're going for.

nternet archive is your friend. You will need to guess some URLs as the pages use java-script navigation so they no longer work directly through the archive.

However, looking at that she should be sued either for false advertising or using the statutes for pimping and running a brothel (with which she as a law graduate should be familiar) with.

There are at least 3 different women on those pictures and I think I have seen one of the pictures somewhere before around the net so she probably is in the frame for copyright violation as well.

Paris, as she does all of that without a law degree and does not try to use other people's pictures to represent her (cough, cough...)
