Better late than never?

Dear New Yorker,
If the FBI is serious about taking on the
sexual abuse of minors (The Science of Sex Abuse, January 14th), they
should making a higher priority of cracking down on the $33 billion a
year industry of prostitution: the average age of entry into
prostitution in this country is thirteen, well below the age of
consent. Why are so much of our resources dedicated to catching "John"s
while johns, who actually have sex with young girls, are rarely
prosecuted, and even when they are, are given only the lightest of
sentences, and are never considered pedophiles? Are we more offended by
the aesthetics than the actual deeds?
