Judge:  “You have a duty of care to your son and that is to look after his moral welfare not, as you might think, to break him into the ways of sex through a prostitute.”

Devil’s advocate comments:

• This behavior certainly is somewhat of a bad taste
• I doubt the kid is a poor victim of a father who wanted to push a prostitute upon him.  Surely the kid was interested in this, most likely he begged his father to get him laid.
• In many Latin countries it was common for male kids to lose their virginity with prostitutes
• I doubt the kid would have suffered grave damage from that
• In other posts we will see that there is no scientific support for the idea that kids in puberty suffer any damage from consensual sexual activity (see Bruce Rind study)
• If this had happened in the moralistic USA, he probably would have gotten a much stiffer sentence
• Of course, issues like pregnancy, sexually transmitted diseases etc. need to be taken into consideration.
