If they had a hundred guests come on and say they never faced abuse in the sex industry, I would believe those guests. However, if they are trying to say that abuse never happens, well that's provably untrue.

This is from Harvard. I trust Harvard more than a podcast:

The study’s findings include:
Countries with legalized prostitution are associated with higher human trafficking inflows than countries where prostitution is prohibited. The scale effect of legalizing prostitution, i.e. expansion of the market, outweighs the substitution effect, where legal sex workers are favored over illegal workers. On average, countries with legalized prostitution report a greater incidence of human trafficking inflows.
