She entered into the agreement of her own volition (as far as we know) and was of an age to do so.
If her intention was to provide sex (and companionship, because that’s sometimes and important component) in exchange for the payday after the 2 years then I’d classify that as sex work, though a more long term contracting kind of work.
If she was in it for the relationship and it just didn’t work out then no, it’s just a failed relationship with a bonus payout.
But i’ll concede that my perspective isn’t necessarily the norm, as i put quite a bit of emphasis on intent.
To me it’s weird to classify sex work as something different to any other job from a labour perspective.
I understand there are unique challenges, but i think a lot of that could be solved with decent regulation and support.
The fact that there’s a whole bunch of legal (and cultural) moralising around it is a big part of the problem, though not all of it.
All of that said, this isn’t even close to my area of expertise so I’ll assume there’s a whole bunch of things I’ve not taken in to consideration.
