134 arrested in DFW sting

You didn't use the buy your groceries defense

Lol, I so want some guy to take one of these to jury trial and roll that out as his defense. And even more desperately for him to win it.

For soliciting, it has to be vocal and explicitly stated. That's what I interpret from the law. I could be wrong

I think this interpretation has got a lot of guys in trouble.

my understanding is they have to prove beyond reasonable doubt that you are paying money for the happy ending.

All escort sites are somehow legal because they do not promise anything beyond meeting. Donation you are paying is considered as spend a time with you Not for happy ending. People can argue happy ending did happen because both adult falls into one after or during meeting.

But beside all theories / argument. I do not want my hang my life on those thin arguments and neither should anyone

Beside does anyone know this operation involves the arrest of independent providers ?

From talking to an attorney, This was how he explained it to me using an LMT as an example.

The LMT completes with the massage without any sexual contact. You pay in full. After the massage transaction is completed, if both of you decided to go out and one thing leads to another, that's consenting adults and completely legal. UNLESS, there is any kind of agreement between the parties before or during the massage to have sex. And, if you pay substantially more than market rate for the massage, either as the quoted rate or as an excessively large tip, that's considered prostitution even if there is no verbal agreement.

Could a smart IE: expensive, lawyer beat it, maybe. Do you really want to take the chance? Not me

Bottom line is sexual contact during the course of a paid for service can be considered prostitution. Is it worth the cops going after customers at an AMP or Studio? Maybe, maybe not. Depends on their goals. Again up to you to decide if your tolerance for risk is high enough.

Perhaps is best to avoid sites like LC, which are questionable, at best

That's what I meant as well. Of course not worth risking. I could just go to a SC and get a dance if I want to get rid off my irk.

There is a huge difference between legal and not worth going after, yet. And people can argue anything. I would love to see a case where someone walked because it was for "time only".

Back in the day, an escort would get hired to attend dinner, etc with a client. The Escort would call in to the agency to start the clock. After whatever the legal engagement was for, the escort would call end to time together. After the client paid the fees, plus a very big tip, of course, the escort was now off the clock. Of course, the client was so nice, the escort would decide to sleep with him, off the clock. Never heard of it working in the 70's and 80's. Doubt it works now.

I’m not an attorney, but I expect the cost of a jury trial with a good attorney can easily cost 10k.

I'm arrested, out 10 Grand, Scarlet-lettered in the Community, and wasted months fighting for my fucking freedom.
