Some complete idiot. I wonder who the escort is at Homestead Studio Suites at 4810 Blue Stone Drive, off Glenwood Avenue. Full story below.
Police: Raleigh man impersonated officer to extort cash from escort.

RALEIGH Police say a man used a fake badge and handcuffs to impersonate a police officer and try to extort cash from a woman working as an escort.
Jerry Leander Poe Jr. Of 4408 East Hampton Drive in Raleigh was charged with one count each of impersonating an officer, extortion and second-degree kidnapping, according to a search warrant filed Tuesday at the Wake County Clerk of Courts Office.
Police say the incident occurred Monday in a room at the Homestead Studio Suites at 4810 Blue Stone Drive, off Glenwood Avenue.
The woman told police she was working as an escort when a man called her cell phone at 6:20 a. M. And told her he would stop by her room on his way to work, according to the search warrant.
After she let him into her room, the woman said the man pulled out a badge and handcuffs and asked if she had any drugs. The woman told him no. The man then demanded she pull her pants down and patted her down as if he was an officer, according to the warrant.
The man allowed the woman to pull her pants back up, then asked her 'what would it take for him not to take her downtown, ' according to the warrant. The woman said she did not want to be arrested and would do anything not to be taken downtown.
The man asked her if she had any money. The woman told him she did not have any cash in the room. She said the man told her if she gave him $200 he would not arrest her.
Police say that's when the ploy began to unravel.
The woman called a male friend and told him there was a police officer in her room demanding $200 or he would take her to jail. The woman's friend drove to the hotel and alerted a clerk, who called 911, according to the warrant.
The woman's friend then went to the room and made contact with her.
She ran out and the suspect followed. He showed the woman, her friend and the hotel clerk a badge before announcing he was "going to get his backup" and fled the building, according to the warrant.
The hotel clerk saw the man get into a tan-colored Toyota and wrote down the license number. Police used the number and phone records to identify the suspect as Poe.
Police later found Poe in a white van on Holston Lane in Raleigh. The officers noticed a badge and handcuffs inside the vehicle, according to the warrant.
Police later searched the van and recovered a BB gun, two pairs of handcuffs, a bail enforcement officer badge, pepper spray and a folder that contained bail bond paperwork, court records show.
The police took Poe to the Wake County jail Monday. He was released the same day after posting a $75, 000 bond, a jail spokeswoman reported.

Anyone who doubts the validity of this stuff (and I know a lot of men do) needs to realize how serious the Law and the Community is becoming about child / adult sex trafficking. This is not going away. These are really BAD men who do this. They deserve to go to jail for life.. And if guys get busted playing with these abused and coerced females...they're going to end up in jail too. AND on the Sex Offender List. There's a fun place to be.
There's a huge difference between visiting an adult, professional provider...compared with a girl who is forced, via whatever means, to have sex with you.
If you can't / don't want to recognize it...you're taking one helluva risk.
Backpage girls / pimps, thugs, gangstas and all those low lifes. Way too high a risk.

i don't think it occurs on nearly the scale many organizations and media outlets would lead us to believe. although my experience is not vast, to this day i have only met one provider on backpage who started when she was under 18. there is no law in existence that would have helped her. she and many girls like her (some whose stories are told in news reports, documentaries, papers and so on) would have only benefited from a healthy dose of common sense and education on how to recognize a predator. unlike the girl in the story she ran away from home after being told by a guy she met online that he could help her make 5,000/ day if she worked for him. when i met her 3 years later she had yet to make that kind of money and was currently broke (despite seeing at least 2 clients a day most days of the month). she refused to leave because he really cared for her and because she was waiting for that big payday. in the case of baby face, some responsibility for her situation has to be put on her and her decision to run away. there are tons of organizations that proactively help street children and don't question why they can't go home or won't go into foster care. again, being able to recognize a predator would have helped as well.
i've met a couple of street walkers who started at a young age. the story was always the same. they ran away from home, headed for a rough part of town where they met an older boyfriend and started prostitution for extra cash to hang out. most of them knew that they could get help but were too caught up in the fun lifestyle they had. we make the assumption that 13 and 14 year old girls are too young to understand the impact of their decisions but at that age some level of personal responsibility for their choices has to be taken.
as for the jons, i really don't think the average adult male wants and **** girl. i think that because kids are developing so early these days it can be hard to tell. you slap some make up, high heels and a provocative dress on a lot of 13 year olds and some look 20.
do the current laws help? no. even in the case of immigrants who are told they will be maids or office workers and are then put to work at a strip club or brothel current laws do them no good. if we had a better immigration policy that made it easier for desired labor to enter the country and more costly for illegal workers would not stop the problem but would definitely reduce the scope. although some anti-trafficking organizations disagree i firmly believe that legalized prostitution would also reduce the problem. personally, i would rather go to a local brothel that was fairly priced than call up a girl on backpage or hunt for street walkers. even in terms of independent providers, if they were required to register and have regular health checks or face prosecution if caught working that would keep young girls out of the business. i will admit that a lot of my assumptions depend on the willingness of clients to go through the legal channels, but you can look no further than drug legalization to see that most people prefer to avoid the black market.
this post is worthy of a "like" button.

It really is entertaining to see the stupidity.
Coming out of our Legislative Branch. The Tories have been.
Out of government for so long they're acting like.
Schoolboys unleashed in the unattended tuck shop.

[QUOTE=NCWanderer;1938907]This post is worthy of a "like" button.[/QUOTE]The system does not want to legalize it, because their making so much money. We live in a greedy country. I am not saying I believe in hand outs, I am just saying that my opinion is that I wish we were more like Canada when it comes to helping our own. My ex boyfriend fought in the war and his being treated like a second class citizen and it is just not right at all. He and a lot of good decent human beings fought for this country and get degraded on for doing so. Not all girls I was a victim of human trafficking my uncle sold me to his rich doctor friends when I was only 7 yrs old, in other countries children are better than teenagers, you do not understand what I had to go through this is my story I am not on drugs, I did do porn and this and I feel guilty and sorry that I did but I had a lot of fun and still do. I am disease, drug free and I just feel no one understands what a sex worker goes through, I wish it was not frowned upon, so much by the media we are people, humans, daughters, mothers too. I just want to make money, have fun, get my organisms, and go home to my normal life with my children.
