>I don't see any incentive for these women to go "underground" because they are in no legal peril themselves. Sure no legal peril, but if a sex worker does come forward to the police about an abusive John or a pimp she risks being kicked out of her home, locked out of her bank account and having her family and friends harassed by police. This creates a strong disincentive to get help from authorities, which seems like exactly the barrier legalization efforts aim to eliminate.
