I have no suggested questions, many good ones are listed, but this quote really stands out to me.

Honestly, I do not think a mental disposition to a risk is all that relevant in a situation like this.

Was she aware of the risk? Well of course she was, it comes with her territory.

Certain aspects of my life come with attached risk: surfing to name one. Do you not empathize with a football player who breaks his neck making a tackle? He knew the risk. I don't think asking him after the fact if he assumed the risk before suiting up is very meaningful. Should she be asked this because she has sex for a living? Should our attitudes contain a "she knew what she was getting into" because of the sexual aspect involved?

She is in a very dismal place in her life right now (much like the others listed). But she is in no way any different from any other person that assumes a risk with occupation or hobby (when you think about it, most of us do). Yes, she knew the risk, but more important than that, she is a human being no different than any of us and maybe gearing questions and attitude according to the human side of things, rather than a condescending aspect, would yield a more telling and insightful interview.

Hopefully, everything is ok for her, as well as everyone named / involved. I don't know her, but she has my support.
