>Richey is even more adamant that what the South Korean prostitutes were doing could not be called consensual because they were being paid.

This is ridiculous. Bad things happened, yes, but armed robberies happen everywhere, and this site helped to decrease them. This is like someone would argue that people working at gas stations aren't there consensually, because they're getting paid and are at risk of a robbery.

I don't see into this individual case much, maybe the Korean women were exploited, but they definitely should have chosen another wording.
