This is great news, I'm glad to see the women get the help they need and this is how what laws related to these crimes should be; stop blaming the victims in the first place and preventing people from becoming victims next. Criminalize the people causing the crimes, not the other way around.

Now, I do have a slight concern here. They legalized the selling of sex, so does anybody have a feeling the johns have found a loophole and the government might not be aware of it?

It's fascinating what kind of statutory experiments can be carried about, and what their impact is.

Whether it's justice, of course, is another question altogether.

I am curious to find real research as to what percent of prostitutes are doing it voluntarily (ie not coerced but simply choosing this line of work over others).

Googling the issue just brings up a bunch of feminist sites that (much like this one) simply claim that most women are coerced without any substantiation.
