I don't agree that prostitution should be legal, there is too much room for exploitation. I don't think it should be a high priority for law enforcement either and generally it isn't as long as the participants are willing adults. In our country very often they are not. This case involves underage girls and drugs and money laundering and high level cover-ups, there's a lot more than the hooker-john encounter going on here.
As for exposing johns, I would much rather see them exposed than the women. I'd like for the law enforcement to focus on the customers, I think that would be a better deterrent, especially where children are involved. (which they are in very high numbers in this business.)
This is the approach in Sweden and other places and I think it makes sense.
I don't know where people get their romantic notions about prostitution, maybe it's just lack of information.
