I also had difficulty seeing a direct connection between legalization and the slave trade.
Yes, as you said, prostitution is linked to the slave trade, but I don't see legalization changing that for better or worse.

Bluntly, I'm not interested in the exceptions--I'm interested in the regular victims of prostitution.
Also, those escort ads you are referring to--those are the ones I'm referring to that are brought over from Russia and Asia and forced into sex as an occupation to pay for their smuggling costs (HINT: they never manage to pay those debts off).
The "working girls" as you put it are sex slaves within very organized crime syndicates.
I'm hoping a LEO stumbles across this and can provide more information on how anti-prostitution sweeps help them get to the heart of the matter. The Law & Order episodes of junkies turning to sex are appalling in their own right, but the focus and energy is on the organized crime racket--not the local stripper going home with her favorite patron (which also apparently happens less frequently than people would like to believe--and I use like intentionally because somehow stripping and hooking turn out to be powerful male fantasies, but not particularly grounded in reality).
