Abigail - you are not being an ethical reporter. You state that Melissa's funding was "questionable". I don't think funding from the state department is "questionable". You also made it sound like Melissa was the only one involved at the press conference - an "out of towner" yet I was there and so was Candice Jordan - both of us are Clark County residents. You also failed to note that the women speaking about the abuse and torture associated with prostitution were survivors - not just researchers. Dr. Brents and Dr. Hausbeck have failed to come to one press conference with the very women they have interviewed for their research to answer questions - Melissa Farley did. I was interviewed for the book, as were other women also present to answer questions. The findings were not just "antedotal" if the very women who she had interviewed were there to back up their statements in person. You guys are just like the tobacco industry - you only talk about how smoking "relaxes" you and is cool - nothing about addiction and lung cancer.

You hit it on the head - people in sex work can be of any gender and age AND religion. This is why I'm grateful to Sex Workers Anonymous. They are all over the country, in Canada and even other countries like France. Anyone can belong and they have the right to a Higher Power of their own choice. We have members who are not only christian, but jewish, buddhist, muslem, and even athetists. Plus so many of us have to leave Nevada once we get free of the sex industry - so it's nice to be able to go anywhere and hit a meeting. Their recovery guide is awesome and I don't know what I would do without their phone and internet support. They have been around since 1987 and have talked to over 250,000 members. In states where they have been used as part of alternative sentencing programs - they have an almost 80 percent rate of recovery past the two year mark that most relapse before making. Plus they don't require a two million dollar budget and probation officers like Judge Voy is insisting the teens need. Their support is free. www.sexworkersanonymous.com
