I wasn't saying the "John" or "Jill" should try to get out of supporting the child. I simply said they should sue the hooker for cash. This is a civil suit. A service has been agreed upon and paid for and the "John/Jill" has been harmed financially as a result.

The criminal court can still prosecute the prostitute for breaking prostitution laws. The "John/Jill" likewise can be charged with a crime.

If a drug dealer burns down your house lighing a joint, you can sue him; right? If the civil case for prostitutes were tested and won, it would go a long way for bringing the weight of responsibility more to the center. I am sure it would have some ramifications as a precident for other types of sloppy sex.
