Default Question about a legal/illegal business.

Hi,

I would like to open an escort service auctions website where people can bid for a date. I believe this business may be illegal in the USA. Since I am a spanish citizien living in the USA I have my spanish address and my bank account in Spain too. So I would open
the company in Spain (based in Spain) but available for people from all over the world from the main website. I was thinking to buy one domain and when people access to the domain browse two options: USA version and worlwide version (except for USA). In the USA version I would use words like "date" and use the word "flowers" for bids instead of "USD" and let the members use the
word "flowers" for bids instead of "USD" and let the members arrange the way of giving "the flowers" by themselves. However, if they choose the worldwide version I was thinking to use sexual explicit content and let them choose the currency and plus different ways of payment through the website. Do you think I can get in legal trouble being in the USA even if those business are legal in Spain and the company is based in Spain? Of course in the disclaimer I would say that USA version is not related with the contect of the other version and also I would say that is not my responsability if users decide to visit my website even if in their location is not a legal service.

Thank you so much in advance!

Rocio
