The reality in countries that have legalized it (Austria, Germany, Netherlands, and others) seem to be the opposite.

Prostitutes are still for the most part desperate immigrants, held hostage in various ways, and exploited by the companies that traffick them in and run the brothels. In other words, legalized prostitution still consists for the most part in paying money to shady people to be able to rape some poor girl.

Sounds like a failure of regulation, if that's indeed correct. I disagree that exploitation and trafficking are necessary or inherent properties of the 'profession.'
