If the girls were sex trafficked I have a problem with this, if they were free to do as they please, then I have no issue with this.
Since it’s illegal and probably secret from their wives, it opens the client to blackmail, which isn’t good for the public if they’re in government or military.
Regardless of whether someone was trafficked, folks in positions of power chosing* to disregard the law is itself an issue.
Sex shouldn't be illegal if it occurs between two consenting adults.
It shouldn't. But if elected officials are breaking the law instead of fixing it, that is bad.
Consent can be hard to judge when you have wildly disparate financial powers.
Not really.
I'd give 0 shits if people in 'positions of power' smoked marijuana while it was illegal.
Heck, I'd support them for their civil disobedience!
Nothing in the article suggests it wasn't consensual, but you never know
That is why the context matters.
