accidentally legalized prostitution

[Skaht7]

This article popped up on my FB today about how Rhode Island accidentally legalized prostitution and rape cases when down. They had made the law be what it should be for a while,

"Lawmakers revised the state statute on prostitution in 1980, concerned that it was overly broad and could infringe on First Amendment freedoms. They went too far, accidentally removing the section defining the act itself as a crime. Other associated activities, such as streetwalking, pimping and trafficking, remained illegal."
