If most is consensual and certainly most professional grade stuff is, then what's the need to abolish the commercial sex industry as a whole?
I think it's better to drag these sort of things into the light where people can feel safe reporting abuse, and other criminal activity. Right now if you're forced into performing a shoot, it might be very hard for a person to report that to the police.
Apart from the usual worries they'd have in your typical rape incident, they'd have to worry that people wouldn't take them seriously because it happened during their occupation. In fact, many people might start to opine that they are just owed money for 'forced labor' and this is a civil matter.

Crime in general is an unsolvable problem. We can mitigate it. We can reduce it. Yet we can't solve the issue for good.
However, mitigation and reduction start by having good laws that target the actual situation at hand. Look at the case of J. Epstein, where people were potentially forced to have sex with politicians who had no idea their partner was coerced. There ought to be a more specific law against this situation, because at the time everyone was unsure of who would be charged (the politicians who were honeypotted? Epstein? Other workers?).
