Protecting the church neighborhood?
The crux of the story:
>>Ralph Shortey, a 35-year-old conservative Republican who has a wife and three young daughters, surrendered to authorities on charges of engaging in child prostitution, transporting a minor for prostitution and engaging in prostitution within 1,000 feet of a church.<<
This happened in Oklahoma. I am not going to talk about hypocrisy, but I wonder what prompted people to specifically make it illegal to engage in prostitution close to a church. If it's illegal everywhere, it should already be illegal near a church. Was this some sort of response to the clergy sex abuse scandals?
