Is this true or fake. They usually just arrest them and gouge them for money?

Creeps? Ok now and NYC -I thought they were liberal? Some podunkville red area doing this is expected-well when you consider SESTA votes-we are doomed.

A Miami escort years ago used to send similar messages and also had a friend calling escorts impersonating a police officer and asking "if they knew their activity was illegal".

 

I have no information about this specific message and I understand why yinz are concerned about it.

Ya know.... I wonder about the effects on creeps.

 

To be clear..... its not a good term, but I'll use it for this post.

 

Members of this forum, legit clients, and any rentguy knows that are there are "creeps" out there. How many forum users just peruse the threads and post comments regarding rentguys, but never have or will hire? How many "creeps" waste rentguys' time with questions, fake appointments, etc?

 

Don't they have a right to be creeps? What law is he breaking when Peter Pathetic, an experienced creep, searches backpage, contacts rentguys, asks loads of questions, perhaps even requests appointments, all the while knowing he'll never follow through? He's certainly a jerk, but a criminal?

 

Sounds like a bad episode of Law & Order SVU, when the defense attorney in court reveals his client is a creep, but had no intent. Except, its plausible.

 

I even wonder if the Human Trafficking witch hunt will reduce creeps' activities. Probably not. And, as devil's advocate, if the legal system represses the creepy urges, what might be the creeps' response? They're not likely to just refrain.

 

CREEPY!

Wait till your friend Sessions gets a hold on this... there have been already attempts to make sodomy illegal again despite the SCJ decision.

 

If de Blasio ever does anything about this, you'll jump saying he's not following the federal law and he should be sent to jail... Funny how yinz conservative bite the hand that helped you and always bark at the wrong tree...

Isn’t the emphasis on this, and other recent news about cracking down on prostitution, a crackdown on underage prostitutes and those forced into it. This wouldn’t apply to sites like RentMen. That’s not to say that the recent federal legislation doesn’t raise concerns about sites being shut down by internet servers, but police activity doesn’t seem to be focusing on gay sites full of adult males. Am I wrong on this?

Not now, but they have shown before that they will go for easy targets. Especially if it means money can get seized. (How much money did they legally “steal” from rentboy’s bank accounts? Many millions if I remember well.)

Maybe the solution is to be non-profit.

Then you are not an attractive target for the NYPD.

Yup. The house sponsor of SESTA said they just decided to go after all prostitution because less prostitution, less trafficking. This equation is scary.

From my experiences, yes, you are wrong. Law enforcement seems to go after gay activity much out of proportion to the perhaps 10% of the population. Maybe they try for 50/50 or maybe there's just an innate hatred of gay men by many in law enforcement and they try to figure an angle to arrest them because they're natural targets as a group. But gays are going to be subject to this more.

Perhaps we should follow John Oliver’s example and register as a ministry - that way even the IRS will turn a blind eye!

Not to go into the whole issue here, but if you are stating you feel the emphasis is to crackdown on underage prostitution and those forced into it, wouldn't that apply to investigation for such cases on RentMen and gay sites full of adult males as well?

Identification can be faked.

I really don't get the whole thing. If I go online and contact some stranger and have them come fuck me it is OK but if I basically do the same thing for money it is some how horrible. It is nutty. I guess someone thinks they should be getting a cut of the action.

[+ tassojunior]

Do what some in DC have tried where pot is legal but selling it is not. They sell cupcakes for $60 and give an eight of pot as a "freebie". (No, the cops don't buy that).

 

Escorts can sell cupcakes.

We are on the path that pretty soon nsa hookups will be assumed as containing a transaction. (

Wow, I had thought that the sting ads always had a warning at the bottom. No wonder I keep getting busted.
