Is it a crime to pay two individuals to have sex for the purpose of voyeurism if the person paying does not engage in any sexual activity with the couple?

Who is it hurting if two people want to have sex and one person happens to want to pay for it? I mean, really. Just a way for this shitty state to make money.
