Busted by phone

starway's Avatar
One of my favorite providers went dark a few months back. Did not respond to texts and her voicemail box filled up of course.

Then recently, out of the blue, I got a text from her indicating that she was available that day. I couldn’t meet up that day but I was glad to see her back. A week passes and then I set up a meeting via text. I show up and am busted. There is a team waiting for me.

I stayed rather silent through the ordeal and talked to a public defender and was released on bail. The whole thing is a blurr now. Eastern Ohio resident. Any idea what I am up against in the coming months?

Pretty tired now. Didn’t get much sleep last night.
Wow...I’m sorry that happened. I’m speechless.

it would help if you gave more detail.. who was it that busted you? I gather your girl was cooperating with them. what did they tell you, regarding charges? what did you text her, to give them enough evidence to bust you without admission of guilt?
This is my point.. SUCKS. Ugh.. please inbox me I have had this type of b.s on my mind.. I knew it was happening. So sad

I was arrested in DC years ago . I changed my name and removed my photo.

Do not use a public defender

Hire an attorney. Best 2500 I Ever spent. I hadn’t said anything incriminating and my charges were dismissed.

Hire an attorney and look for one that may be trying to help legalize other things in parts of the country ... I’m not allowed to mention it here
Good luck and I would start googling things. You can pm me privately if you’d like

From experience. I can tell you if you publish the Info on who it is, whether, it's direct post or through a link. The mods will side with the chick (if she becomes a member here or was a member) and give you a ban. It's called outing.
PM that info instead.

good point, I meant "who", as in FBI, local police, etc., not the Provider, but you're right, one needs to be careful.

a PM would be welcomed

How would that change anything? Are you saying you recognize the voice of people you've only met once or a few times?
Years ago I established a new rule. If I contact her same day I will see her the same day.

If she contacts me, I will not see her same day. Police have limited resources and they want to set it up, bust several people and move on. Prostitution stings are popular with the public and it's an election year.

Stay safe!

Stings are always pre-planned. When PD has a sting they involve four or five officers, which takes time, briefing, department head signatures to allocate resources (un-marked police cars, recording equipment... ECT.)

I have no doubt he was caught up in a sting, it would be rare for that to occur when he initiated contact.
