Prostitution of minors in France has risen by up 43 percent over the last four years, according to official figures published Friday. The government insists it remains committed to cracking down on exploitation networks, a decade after a landmark law made paying for sexual services a crime.



But the question is whether or not legal adult prostitution would decrease the amount of child rape.
Making things better and safer for adults to pay for sex with adults is great, but I don’t see a direct path to it having an impact on child rape which would be illegal regardless.
