Because of professional ethics and HIPPA.
In my state mental health professionals are required to report if the client is a danger to self or others, abuse of a minor or a person over 65 years old and abuse by another mental health professional. Criminal activity is not reportable. Matter of fact reporting it would be an ethical violation. I'm not positive about pimping. The laws regarding human trafficking are changing.
