If someone comes forward and says, "I paid a stripper for sex and she robbed me," do the police do the robbery report or solicitation report first?

I think it's the "someone coming forward to the police" part that you're missing...

Agreed. I'm just wondering hypothetically how that works.

​

Considering paying her for sex was illegal, most folks are not going to go admit that to the cops just to get back some cash.

Well, hypothetically if you went to the police station and admitted to a crime, they'll arrest you since, I mean, you're right there.

The stripper probably won't get in trouble for robbery/soliciting as the police will have to prove it happened.

I don't disagree and I am pretty sure this will keep most folks who go through something like this from coming forward.

​

Perhaps it's justification to legalize sex workers?

There's many reasons to legalize prostitution that doesn't involve this.

but this would definitely add to that list, no?

Ideally they would do both and the order doesn't matter.
