A fascinating split on the U-18 prostitution question. I can see arguments both ways. Any comments as to why people hold the views they do?

At one point, it was going to be an absolute offence - if the person being paid was 17, you were guilty full stop. Now, it will be a defence if you have a reasonable belief they were 18 or over.

Yeah, what Val said, also a) the less laws there are the better b) Pat Califia's point about teenage runaways - they are often running away from far worse and they have to get by somehow.
