Tugela and Anonymous 19,
It appears that both of you have concluded, based on your knowledge and experience in and around the sex industry that MP is innocent of any wrongdoing, and SG's death, though tragic was basically self-inflicted.
To me this smacks of the reasoning that the victim is 'always responsible' excuse. "If she didn't dress that way", "if she had not gone there", "if she didn't associate with those people" and so on.
Fundamentally I believe it is how one views the sex trade. Are the women involved, coerced, manipulated and exploited or are they meeting a legitimate need in society and making responsible choices freely? Of course there are always shades of grey in these questions.
We all know that money is the primary driver in this industry, and if money is taken out of the equation there is no sex industry. The fact is money is the 'coercion' regardless how the participants try to act legally.
I am not sure yet if MP is criminally liable in any way, Tugela and Anonymous19 seem pretty sure he is not. Of course criminal liability must be proven in court, which at times is extremely difficult. For me the more important question then becomes, is MP liable under a code of values that does not involve the criminal code? A perfect parallel is the fact OJ was not convicted of any crime related to Nicole's and Ron's death.
