Be careful folks, new bill be proposed in state senate to increase penalties for soliciting prostitution. Would make it class G felony and minimum $1k fine.

Have to think this is related to spa crackdowns. Won’t catch me in a Delaware spa anytime soon. Watch out.

IANLB, I think to make the "soliciting" charge stick, it must involve an undercover (or uncovered) police officer receiving the solicitation, who can later testify.
Maybe some of those will discover they can make a lot better pay in the game compared to shutting down the game!

… I wonder how many State Senators are Mongers..LoL..going to be a tough vote for those who are.. LoL..
Not really, I don't think; as long as the politician is supportive of the police, they can get special treatment.
I wonder how many times the word "trafficking" will appear in the bill(?).
To me this doesn't seem to be aimed at spas per se, but rather at the independents and hotel hook-ups. That will add getting busted to the already present risk of getting scammed.

Think it’s a way for the new “trafficking unit “ to use leverage on any of us unfortunate to get caught in their web of imagined collusion and conspiracy..it’s a prosecutorial tool to “squeeze” us “ mooks” unfortunate enough to get caught in their busts of “ low hanging fruit “ when they go after the Asian spas… Heaven forbid they go after the Russians or the Mexican mob.. LoL … way to dangerous… and exactly where the real trafficking resides.. typical Cop mentality..

I still wonder how they would make a solicitation beef stand from a spa bust.
Would they wait patiently in the corner of the room (under their invisibility cloak) for a conversation between the monger and the spa lady to take place?
My understanding is that a conversation must take place that specifies a sex act for a payment, and that money changes hands, wherein a police officer is one of the participants or is at least in a position to verify the foregoing.
Granted, big spa busts generally lead to pictures and names in the paper, which is a deterrent for many mongers even though a decent lawyer can later buck the charges.

that's true in Delaware, but not in Maryland! I know we're not talking about Maryland, but figured I'd bring that up for everyone's benefit. over there all you have to do is make contact and they can bust you...

Sorry to be thick, but are you saying that contact alone is enough for a bust in DE, or in MD?
I wonder what constitutes "contact" and how it would be proven.
If I bump into a provider at the farmer's market, is my goose cooked?

No way.Even if they set up a sting with an undercover cop as a provider explicitly offering sex, if some guy goes there who is to say he was not going there to convince her to repent and turn her life around?

The prosecutor has to prove your intent beyond a reasonable doubt, with actual evidence.
Yup…AFTER. You arrested…AFTER you make bail…AFTER your mug shot is posted online….AFTER. AFTER…AFTER.
They are probably willing to lose a few cases…. At the expense of making a number of arrests .

I agree, you may win the trial, but the damage will have already been done.
Be careful out there boys, philly trips are looking better and better

I couldn't find anything about this online. How did you hear about this?

Blah; so I actually know one of the co sponsor senators personally. Deal with them via community business. Do you know how difficult it is to interact with them without telling them what I really think of their nonsense?
