I'm still a little in the dark about escorting laws.
What would have happened if the OP called the police? I'm assuming he wouldn't have faced any charges? Is the worst that would have happened is that he would have been red faced? If so, had I been outright robbed i would have rang the police the moment I was out the door
Paying for sex with a consenting adult (18+) in the privacy of a property is not illegal. Kerb crawling and soliciting for sex on the street is illegal.
Pimping and running brothel is illegal and it sounds like this guy is her pimp, so it was definitely worth trying to get your money back and at least threatening to call the police in a firm manner. This may well be enough to get your money back.
If they refuse, then it's probably best just to leave, frustrating though that is. It could just cause too much aggro and potentially violence plus hassle from the police, even if you haven't done anything illegal.
It is illegal for a punter to have sex with a girl who is "subjected to force" so not just trafficked - and that applies whether he is aware of the fact she is or not (ie strict liability).
I guess there is a risk that that could be the case, though doesn't sound like it. She could claim the pimp has forced her to be a prostitute.
