It's like prostitution. Every body knows you're going to fuck that girl and pay for it.
But it's legal. Basically, escort means, on the face, the girl will just "accompany" you. What happen between you and the girl is none of the escort business.
It's a way to circumvent anti prostitution laws.
That being said, it's kind of hypocrite isn't it? Why not just get rid the law in the first place? People can do things but not openly?
