I hate to be an old-fashioned fuddy-duddy and go against a lot of members here that I generally agree with, but I am on the team for transparency on this.
In my own research on this, I see that many of the underaged girls were groomed and recruited by the older girls.
I won't give that a pass or turn a blind eye to it.
Also, even if all the girls involved were willing participants and/ or prostitutes, I still want to know who the johns were. The men who were involved with that criminal activity (especially politicians and other policy makers) put not only themselves at risk but also National Security, their families, publicly traded businesses, etc.
The situation was ripe for blackmail, extortion, etc.
