No victim, no crime? That might be some kind of philosophy, perhaps. It has nothing whatsoever to do with law. In reality, a crime is committed by breaking a law, regardless of whether there is a victim, and having a person or person with judicial imprimatur affirm that a law was broken. The presence of a specific victim might compound the culpability, or cause new charges to be introduced, but lack of one is not always even a mitigating factor.
Smoking marijuana in your home is a victimless crime. Prostitution between consenting adults is a victimless crime. Invite a happy prostitute to your home, get some weed, and call the cops. Let us know what happens.
