Bobad. The angle I am looking at the responsibility thing from is:- If someone, through their profession causes injury to a client, they usually have third party insurance...in the UK anyway....as they have a duty of care...so they take responsibility and the insurance company pay up. If prostitution is legalised and prostitution becomes recognised as a 'service industry', then prostitutes will also have a duty of care...how many will take third party insurance and will the Government make them liable in any case?   Food for thought.
