65. I understand that.
She might very well be a victim of human trafficking. If that's the case I can be more forgiving. Not all Pimps are cruel, and not all prostitutes have Pimps. We don't know the situation, exactly, but until we do I cannot and will not give her an inch of rope.

Most likely, and this is just my personal guess, I think she might have been turning tricks for drug money. That's how many women get roped into prostitution in the first place. It's sad, but in this situation it is no excuse.

If she is a victim of human trafficking then I can be very forgiving, because had she refused it could have very well meant her life... not merely a beating from an angry Pimp. I would think anyone with an ounce of moral fiber (and being a prostitute does not mean someone lacks it) would take a beating rather than rape a child. I know I would. I know plenty of women who would as well.

But at the end of the day, from the boy's prospective, it was irrelevant what position the prostitute was in... he was raped.

I just don't want people trying to dismiss that fact because he is a boy who was raped by a woman. It's not something our society really pays attention to, but boys are molested and coerced into having sex with women against their will all the time. It's an illness in our society that I feel must be called out, and stood up against, for the sake of the victims as well as future potential victims.
