Re: 1, 000 Feet From a School Rule
[QUOTE=Ghostface89;1213440]Turning minor "sex crimes" like solicitation into felonies if they take place within 1, 000 feet of a school makes my skin crawl.[/QUOTE]For what it's worth, if you are a first time offender who gets charged with a felony sex crime, deferred prostitution is automatic. What that means is that you get charged but not prosecuted. What that also means is a potentially long probationary period (up to 2 years, I believe) where you have to avoid any further offenses. The conditions for deferred prosecution can be pretty intrusive and can require that, in addition, you might have to submit to random drug tests, do community service and / or attend "john's school" at the Chicago Christian Community Health Center, just to name a few. At the satisfactory completion of the probationary period the charges will be set aside. On the other hand, if you don't satisfactorily complete the probationary period, you could then be subject to prosecution for the original sex offense (thus, the "deferred" prosecution).
[QUOTE=Ghostface89;1213440]In most urban areas you can be 1, 000 feet from a school without even knowing it,[/QUOTE]Folks, in this day and age this "I didn't know" stuff is simply NO EXCUSE. It is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to check out the area where you are going IN ADVANCE and to make sure that there are no schools in the area.
Hint: Google Maps and Mapquest are your friends.
Did she work under the name "Neeva"?
Since there aren't many Indian providers in the area, I'm wondering if this is the massage provider Neeva? She is on my bucket list.

Any lawyers in the house?
Any fellows have any thoughts on the legality of gang bangs or orgies? Anything to be careful about or avoid? Things to consider as a host? Does the 1000' rule apply in any way?
She might be one for Hef?
[QUOTE=Pna; 1216297]Looking at this objectively (or, at least, as objectively as possible) I have to wonder if there isn't a little bit of sex addiction at work here.
Item 1: Her ethnic background is Indian, and they are usually rather staid.
Item 2: She was bright enough and wealthy enough to get into and out of law school. Add to this the fact that she was doing pro bono work up near Rockford, and I seriously doubt she was doing it because she needed the money.
Item 3: She must have paid a pretty penny for those bolt-ons, but she's only charging. 5-1? She was using e-mail with her clients, and was at NIU, so obviously using the internet is not a problem for her. How could she NOT know that she could have charged FAR more for her services and had 'them lining up? Again, this doesn't sound like she's in it for the bucks.
All told this sounds like a girl who is hypersexual anyway and charging for it just adds an element of extra naughtiness, and some pin money.
Fortunately for her, even if she loses her law license (which would be sad) she can make a (probably better) living as a porn star or high-end escort. [/QUOTE]This has FUTURE PLAYBOY PICTORIAL written all over it!

Evanston Spa Workers Busted For Prostitution.

This article has the mention of USAsexguide in it:
[QUOTE]"Evanston police did not go into further specifics. But a review of the Carnation Spa appears on the Web site USASexGude. Info, on which a customer reported asking for, and receiving, a sex act from an employee for an extra fee following a massage."[/QUOTE]Be careful with your post. Uncle Leo reads them, and uses them just like we do.
Re: We'll find out I guess
[QUOTE=Castlerae;1218077]Maybe, but if the prosecutor makes his case and she's found guilty of a felony, plus all the press the case has gotten, do you think the ethics people will let her keep her license? Maybe I'm a pessimist, but I don't see that happening, I think she's gone as a lawyer.[/QUOTE]There is a lot of uninformed speculation about this case in this forum. I just make that comment as an advisory to both posters and readers. A lot of these comments are based on speculations that are coming from a basic lack of knowledge. For example, you don't know what is going to happen in the prosecution of this case; for that matter, you don't know if this case even will be prosecuted at trial (personally, I have my doubts). You also don't know what is going to happen with respect to her law license.

Perhaps 4 blocks from the police department wasn't the best place to set up shop!

Trust me. They were hidden pretty damn well
[QUOTE=Ghostface89; 1230375]Four blocks from a police station? Before the Bridgeport Police Station moved to their new digs on Halsted there were massage establishments much closer.
I think the trick is to not open your spa up near a doughnut shop.[/QUOTE]If you did not know where the hell they were, you would not find it.
They were my standby go to. Always got good and full service.
Its a shame. They didn't cause any neighbor problems, they were buried in the back of an office complex.
She always had one or two ladies working. The 41 yr old looked ten yrs younger. If northfield was smart they would just make them register and pay a tax or something. Raise revenue. Isn't that the name of the game?
