"City orders crackdown on pimps that use teens"

Um, pardon?

So, up until now the city has been letting them slide by? I mean, they're fine upstanding citizens and yet they have just this one slightly annoying habit of selling the bodies of desperate teenagers so we've been letting it go, figured they'd grow out of it. Sadly no and now we must crackdown.

What?!?!

On the flip side, it's time to crackdown on the pimps that use teens because that's evil, bad and nasty but the pimps that use people over 18, that's OK? They're adults and no one in the history of ever has coerced or pressured or forced an adult, particularly a damaged or desperate adult, into doing something that they didn't want to do or that wasn't in their best interests.

Oy, and this is what the tax dollars are paying the city's press department to tell me.
