One thing that makes me especially hesitant is that solicitation itself is technically illegal, regardless of what acts did or did not take place. And with the seeming expectation that things are arranged over text, that could be easy to prove. I realize there are apps and strategies to distance one's identity from texting but even then it would not be difficult to trace.
I appreciate the comments -- so far, it seems no direct experiences and one alluded to possible past issue.

The common refrain on this site is don't do this if you have a lot to lose, which seems smart, but personally I'd like to get a better sense of quantified risk.
Has anyone actually experienced legal issues with hiring/meeting established providers on RM? Especially in blue state large cities (SF, LA, Vegas, NYC, Chicago)?
There's really no true way to stay completely anonymous. Currently I'm not hiring because other than people saying the risk is very low, I really don't have a good sense of how low.  I feel safer hiring compared to random hookups but the risk of my life being nearly ruined is impossible to ignore. I'm interested in hearing about any actual real life experiences on this point -- thanks in advance.

I had a positive experience back in 2019, solid B. I contacted him via Grindr and maybe that made a difference in his responsiveness. His current pics are recent (I follow his IG).

Bump. Any recent info? There's a few threads asking about him, but no comments from anyone who's met with him, only the comment above about him being a no show. Seems to have plenty of 5 star ratings on RM.
