If each instance of the supposed crime is victimless, where do the supposed victims come from?

Collateral damage?

If an 18 year old girl consents to prostitute herself, she isn't a victim of a "crime of prostitution". But if she was kidnapped as a child from her home country and traffiked to become a prostitute, she is considered a victim of the "industry of prostitution".

None of the crimes against her were prostitution. But the crimes against her were committed in the name of prostitution.
