Laz -

Tim was saying that if a man cheats on his wife and hurts her by doing that, then she can be considered a victim even though he has committed no crime. He was talking about general cases, not the specifics of the Spitzer case.

So adultery produces a crimeless victim, whereas prostitution is a victimless crime.

The wife in this case is hurt both by the cheating, and by the fact that the cheating happened with a prostitute, which makes it illegal.

If prostitution were not illegal, she would have been hurt less.
