Girl must have talked that's why she wasn't arrested and her name not placed in the news release. Originally Posted by mwebberit is my understanding that she told police he offered her money to perform sexual acts.
even more interesting though (unless my source got their terms confused) is that he was charged for "promoting" prostitution and not "patronizing" a prostitute.
the legal difference between the two:
S 230.02: Patronizing a prostitute; definitions
1. A person patronizes a prostitute when:
(a) Pursuant to a prior understanding, he pays a fee to another person as compensation for such person or a third person having engaged in sexual conduct with him; or
(b) He pays or agrees to pay a fee to another person pursuant to an understanding that in return therefor such person or a third person will engage in sexual conduct with him; or
(c) He solicits or requests another person to engage in sexual conduct with him in return for a fee.
S 230.15: Promoting prostitution; definitions of terms
The following definitions are applicable to this article:
1. "Advance prostitution." A person "advances prostitution" when, acting other than as a prostitute or as a patron thereof, he knowingly causes or aids a person to commit or engage in prostitution, procures or solicits patrons for prostitution, provides persons or premises for prostitution purposes, operates or assists in the operation of a house of prostitution or a prostitution enterprise, or engages in any other conduct designed to institute, aid or facilitate an act or enterprise of prostitution.
2. "Profit from prostitution." A person "profits from prostitution" when, acting other than as a prostitute receiving compensation for personally rendered prostitution services, he accepts or receives money or other property pursuant to an agreement or understanding with any person whereby he participates or is to participate in the proceeds of prostitution activity.
if the actual charge is promotion then i would think she doesn't actively work as a prostitute but that he just offered her money for sex and she accepted, which then is technically prostitution.
seeing how even 6-7 years ago he was known to always have at least one young 20-something female on his "payroll" at any given time that makes the most sense...
