Not True Bill deals with Adults too
[QUOTE=Nudus81]From what I read the bill-law deals exclusively with minors. Frankly, if your bopping a minor, you should go to jail. I am an avid hobbyist and have left on 2 occasions because the girl looked way to young. Stick with the adults and if you get the impression the girl is trafficked' then you should stay away.
I am cool with consenting adults doing whatever they want for whatever price they agree, but once you start bopping kids you have a disease and should get help.[/QUOTE]The original bill was for minor but they added more language to it for Adults too. Basically making it Class4 Felony from a misdemeanor for Adults.
Thats how the Bill got passed. This is a very serious stuff if become the Law on August 24. I think we all need to say good by to this Hobby or get ready for Felony charges which also means loss of Job for professionals.
LE will pursue it hard due to the Felony Charges.
See this link from End Demand organization who are behind this Bill.
This explains the penalties and its just not for Minors.

Not quite right - more to it
[QUOTE=Chicago Sicko]You guys are misreading it. Yes patronizing a prostitute has moved up to a felony but johns are never prosecuted for that; 95 percent is solicitation which has moved from Class B misdemeanor to Class A misdemeanor. Sucks, yes. But not the end of the world.[/QUOTE]Solicitation of a Sexual Act - Johns (buyers of commercial sex) - Class A
misdemeanor
Soliciting for a Prostitute - Pimps (those profiting off of others’ commercial sex acts), potentially Johns - Class 4 felony
Patronizing a Prostitute - Johns - Class 4 felony
Patronizing is if you go to a Bar or anyplace and offer $$ for sex.
Keeping a Place of Prostitution - Pimps, massage parlor - Class 4 felony
In the past its easy to prosecute for Solicitation then patronizing but now DA will go for sever penalties like soliciting for a prostitute which will carry Class 4 Felony charges. I think Agencies owners, massage owners and even people who make appointments over the phone will all fell under pimps and will be charged Class 4 Felony. Johns can get misdemeanor in a plea bargain if they cooperate with LE to get the Big fish..
Folks this is a whole new ball game and we will know by 8/24..
Governor has signed the bill into Law without any changes
That means just be very careful out their what you do now.
Its the Law from 8/20.
Watch for many stings coming soon.
Elections few months away.

MPs and Escorts Agencies will get affected big time
[QUOTE=Raincoater]Very carefully.[/QUOTE]One thing more to this law is that they are allowed to do wire tapping if human trafficking is suspected, just like drug dealers. That means all calls will be monitored to the number you calling plus places can be bugged easily.
Most of these places can fall very easily under human trafficking since they bring woman from overseas. Most of them are even illegal status.
This is very serious stuff.
The day Law is signed Cook county Sheriff office made this Bust and see the charges, Felony.

Too late now. Its already the Law from 8/20
[QUOTE=Mitsom]Yeah I'll send him my name and address and best number to reach me at and ask him to take it easy on johns and hoes in illinois. Why don't you go over to gay chicago and tell them you want to put your name on the petition? Make it a matter of public record so everyone knows you've got a love affair with ******. I mean, have you thought this through?[/QUOTE]Lots of people try by sending emails, calls, letters and even met Governor staff on this but they were unable to convince him to veto at least part of the bill dealing with Adults penalties.
The bill was sponsored by Cook county the so its hard for him to object it.
Plus End Demand organization was behind it and they are very strong in getting things done. Currently they pushing Cook County sheriff office to start the crack down and no plea bargains for Felony charges for first few cases to send the message loud and clear. Look for some high profile stings in coming weeks and months.
Took A Chance And Saw An MC Advertiser
Was looking for something a bit kinky and decided to try HotLexus Hottie, as advertised on Midnight Chicago. Her ad talks kink, and must admit she did delliver, despite ,my reservations about previous reviews. She hasn't been around much lately, supposedly a family deal, but she is back and in business full time. She did all I asked and surprised me with a twist ot two of her own. Deninately will repeat as she is looking to build clientel, and has an open-minded approach that worked for me. OK, so I am older , and maybe not the most active hobbyist, but this chick managed to rock my world, so that must count for something. Definately will be seeing her again.
