Man, I wish this story would drop out of the news cycle. Quickly. Noticed that a lot of folks are talking advantage it for political gain and ridicule and its only ruining lives.

"Stomp all over her"? That looks like a pretty sympathetic profile to me.
This young lady is more than likely going to be perfectly happy to milk the media attention and her 15 minutes of fame for as much as she possibly can. We're not exactly talking about someone who got involved in the sex trade involuntarily, after all.

"It was my decision, and I've never looked back," she writes. "Left my hometown. Left a broken family. Left abuse. Left an older brother who had already split. Left and learned what it was like to have everything, and lose it, again and again.
"Learned what it was like to wake up one day and have the people you care about most gone. I have been alone. I have abused drugs. I have been broke and homeless. But, I survived, on my own. I am here, in NY because of my music."

Choices were made, consequences are now being felt. Without sounding callous, that's life. You make a good choice, you enjoy it, you go on to the next one. You make a bad choice, you have to live with it and sort through the fallout. Don't blame anyone else for what piles on.
Her life is
hardly over. She's 22, and has plenty left to live for ahead of her. I mean, hell, worst come to worst and she remains a call-girl, she's the one who brought down a state Governor. She'll be able to name her price no matter where she goes. Not that I'd wish for her to stay in that trade, of course.
I wouldn't count on her music career taking off, though:
"What We Want" is especially crap.
