I guess it just seem counter intuitive to me.
Sex workers are significantly more likely to be assaulted in general and specifically sexually assaulted than the general population, and are victimized disproportionately by law enforcement personnel. In part, this is because there's a strongpower related association between sex workers and law enforcement that leads to this being a crime of opportunity for that minority of law enforcement personnel who have power and dominance issues. In my mind, this would, if anything, tend to make me a little more sympathetic, and makes the idea that he specifically targeted her because of her profession more credible, at least given the pattern of behavior shown here.
