Who cares if they were prostitutes. They were children that some grown man admitted to raping. Just because they refused to testify, doesn't mean the man didn't commit a crime, he admitted to doing it.
Not sure if you have a prarticular disagreement, or with whom...but you clearly don't understand the situation.
There is no question as to the offense, but the determination was made by the ADA that he or she could not get a conviction without the testimony of the girls.
He, and the judge, agreed that it would be better to get an admission, with the commensurate 'sex offender' status than simply to drop the charges.
