In the U.S., a "College” confers bachelor degrees (although they may confer honorary doctoral degrees). Universities comprise multiple colleges and confer advanced degrees as well as undergraduate degrees.

NY has inclusive antidiscrimination laws which would protect him from being fired for being gay. Also, most employment is "at will” meaning the employer can fire the employee without any reason at all. The limits on such terminations are that it not be discriminitory and that it doesn't violate an employment contract.

Not true. The typical NDA, even in an escort situation, covers more than the fact of the meeting and any sexual activity. More broadly it protects confidential information and against reputational harm. They are generally enforced unless there is a need for the information for a criminal prosecution. This is not a situation where the agreement is itself for an illegal arrangement (such as a contract to pay x dollars for y sexual services).

You are confusing the illegality of the meeting with the legality of the NDA. The NDA arrangement is not itself illegal or against public policy. Unless it is being used to preclude giving evidence of a crime being prosecuted, it would be enforced.

You've hit upon an important factor -- a criminal investigation. An NDA cannot be enforced if broken to assist LEOs in a case where the information is pertinent. However, it likely is enforceable against an escort who seeks to personally profit from the information covered by the NDA (a tell all book, for example).

His political views were, at one time, a factor that could have made encounters uncomfortable. By that I mean he reportedly was insistent on discussing them and defending them. Then, at some point, it clicked for him that it was better to keep the politics to himself so as not to create discomfort or conflict. From that point forward, those who've seen him have been universally laudatory in their comments. I'd encourage everyone to do as Adam has and leave his politics out of the discussion.

This would/could have been avoided. I'd never be without cash to cover the amount of the agreed time. If we look to extend, that's when zelle becomes an issue. With zelle, you also have to pay attention to the limits set (amount per day, month, etc.) .

See the post from Scott VA. That describes the law in the majority of jurisdictions. The "consent” imputed does not go to criminal liability, but rather to administrative penalties such as license suspension and required actions to have one's license reinstated.

According to this law, every driver in California has implicitly agreed to have given their consent to a blood or breath test in the event they are lawfully arrested for suspicion of driving under the influence. Importantly, this rule is applied to all motorists driving in California, regardless of whether they are a California resident or non-resident holding an out-of-state license. I don't doubt that's the law in CA, but it's not in most states.

Wrong as to most jurisdictions. Most do not allow police to compel a test, but there are consequences to refusing. First, in most states such a refusal is an automatic suspension of your license to drive and reinstatement requires a bunch of things. Also, officers can require you to take a field sobriety test (standing/walking, balance on one leg, recite alphabet backward, etc. If you appear impaired, you can be held in the jail until you sober up -- and a breathalizer may be used to determine when you become sober, but that is not part of the record if you are charged and taken to court.

First, either cancel the meeting or ask to do a telecon. If it's a small firm, chances are likely enough that you run into one another. Second, you can't control who a partner brings into a meeting. Usually it's one or more associates. Third, even if you don't hire his firm, your opponent might. You should consider reaching out to him to ask what would make him most comfortable. Keep in mind, however, that an attorney is obligated to zealously represent his/her client. The more he knows about you, the better the chance he could be in a conflicted position should his firm represent your opponent.

If Heche was conscious and able to communicate, should could refuse to have blood drawn. Authorities would then need a court order. Depending on whether one was obtained, and when, any test may be pointless. She may also have been medicated by the hospital because of her injuries. But the simplest explanation is preferential treatment. Time may tell.

He's great at all of it. And a nice guy, too.

I also think a lot of guys who travel to shoot for OF are advertising with an interest in seeing clients during off times but they end up without the off time.

Not necessarily. Transitioning can include hormone treatments to alter your body from one gender to another. FTM's often take on more manly characteristics without having a prosthetic penis. Same can be true for MTF.

The only other thing you could have done would have been to try and get him to agree to go to the emergency room for a psych hold. If he refused, that would be the extent of what you could do. My brother committed suicide. We knew he was distraught, but not that he'd be suicidal. His lack of a prior diagnosis made a court-mandated hospitalization unavailable and he refused any professional treatment. Attempts to reason with him fell short. It will be ten years soon, and I still miss him every day.

But not offensive in German in which it means jeweler.

Or he realized a lot of potential clients might not know what plethora means.

Cause and affect is muddled. To some extent, porn attracts people like Randy who have underlying conditions, and who need to make quick money. Does porn destroy them, or are do seriously at risk guys gravitate to porn? Probably both. I've been trying to wrap my mind around Randy's story. It's too heartbreaking.

From his responses, it sounds like he interpreted your comments and questions as holding his escorting against him and a reason you would not like to meet him. Seems you were as unclear in your messaging as was he. Good of you apologize. Had I been in your shoes, I would have thanked him for his interest and tried to arrange a meeting. If he was looking for a client, he would need to communicate that before meeting.

Addiction often accompanies mental health disorders such as Major Oppressive Disorder, BiPolar Disorder, and other conditions. At least it did in my case. And in my brother's case. You can't convince an addict to get help, and someone struggling with depression is especially likely to resist treatment. You can give addicts hints, encouragement, and remind them there are people who love them and whom they are causing pain. If they are open to help, they should get evaluated, preferably on an in-patient basis. But s/he has to be ready. I join all of those whose posts offer support. Watching a loved one self-destruct and not knowing how to help is torture.

For reasons beyond my imagination, a lot of posters answer inquiries directed at those with first-hand knowledge of a provider when all they have to offer is their reaction to the provider's ad which we can all see for ourselves.

His character, Sonny, was killed off in the first film. You may be thinking about Michael Corleone, played by Al Pacino.

For both?

You had 10 minutes, not much time. Were you dressed and ready to leave within 10 minutes? You seem upset that he had another client booked. You paid for just the hour, but seem to think that also buys you some of the next hour for him to shower, clean up the place, etc. You seem to approach this as a tug of war.
