Apart from the breaking of various old taboos? Trafficking.
I'm sure there are plenty of prostitutes who deliberately chose that path, but an uncomfortably high number of prostitutes are victims of human trafficking.

That is outside of police renaming prostitution busts as "human trafficking" crackdowns. If you think about the business mechanics of it for just a couple of minutes it makes no sense as an operation, regardless of the morality. The amount of risk and points of critical business failure you take on for probably minimal to negative financial gain is insane. Your main assets, your slave prostitutes, are your biggest and most volatile liability, and your source of income is your second biggest threat.
You see this any time law enforcement stumbles upon a scary marketing word that helps them justify their activities to the public. The word's meaning slowly grows to encompass all sorts of things that the public would never have associated with it. Like how "Sex offense" now includes people caught urinating on the side of a building. And how you can get a "DUI" without driving and without being under the influence.
