So they arrested the woman, but not the man who paid her?

Color me shocked.

Lesson learned: Don’t get a safe deposit box. It is essentially a beacon to the government “My stuff is here, look it over and take what you want”.

Uh. but they did “arrest” the man. They issued a warrant for his arrest and his attorneys appeared in court to deal with it and get him released on bail and requested a jury trial (etc etc). He has been charged with a misdemeanor and is awaiting the trial.

Well, serves her right for believing she has any sort of bodily autonomy.

And people still say that there are no career opportunities for older women in this country.

The guy hasn’t gotten any deal. He requested a trial and in the interim his high priced attorneys are fighting every little detail. In fact a group of non named individuals who were not in fact arrested or charged with anything but customers of the spa for legitimate purposes have taken up a class action lawsuit against the county because they were also filmed without consent and did not commit any crimes.

For people who are not familiar with US standards of morality, can someone explain what is an “illegal sex act” ?

Looks like nobody gets a “happy ending” here, in the original sense of the phrase anyway.

If you have to ask, you can’t afford it.

Well, I guess it depends on where you are, what you’re looking to do, and with whom. Also, who you are…

I think the term is “bodily autonomy.” She’s not trying to keep her body secret, she’s trying to assert ownership and control of it. (Unless it’s a sex trafficking situation in which case she still shouldn’t be the person getting arrested.)

Any particular reason why you show the face of this woman?

Also: why is this entire post in Boing Boing and what am I supposed to feel here?

Civil forfeiture? i.e. the money was guilty.

Assuming you are being serious…any sexual act performed in exchange for money.

“Police found $43,000 in her safe deposit box, which they’ll no doubt confiscate,”

So, the sex worker is going to suffer punishment far worse than Robert Kraft’s punishment.

Well, even though both were arrested, only one of them has the resources to immediately get out of jail, anyways. And he likely has the resources to avoid any kind of consequences, too, whereas this will totally destroy her life.

OK. This is really… grr.

When they announced this sting, they said that the women involved were trafficked women who were victims of the international sex slavery trade.

Now, they arrest the woman with whom the deed was done.

So… now they arrest the trafficked sex crimes victim and steal her money? Really? REALLY?

Sherrifs seem to think they can tell the story both ways. Sad thing is, they’re right. :frowning: Does their office normally arrest kidnapping victims?

Link to first article I could find describing it as human trafficking:
