Just a point of clarification on the way the law works in NC ... They need to show INTENT only in NC.

If that's what you think I really suggest you do some research because you are way out of the loop. "Intent" is legally the lowest barrier to entry for charging you. No other jurisdiction in the country has a barrier this low as NC now.

I'm missing something, where in the new law does it change language regarding intent? Or are you saying NC has always had that lower bar for solicitation, but now it seems they will be enforcing the law more, with more resources and funding, along with the upgraded felony charges?

I don't think SBs are a concern, particularly if you are following SA's rules and general advice SB threads give. As far as the potential of one "turning" on you, unless there is violence alleged or a minor involved, DAs don't really bring charges based on someone coming to them with some text messages on their phone, and I don't see police devoting resources to set up a one-person sting for solicitation.

I do feel bad for the mongers out there who aren't aware of this sledgehammer coming for them and are just responding to STG / EB ads like normal. Storm is coming.

These new laws don't worry me too much. The intent has to be proven you are soliciting a prostitute.

It's guys picking up streetwalkers and the adult bookstores who need to be the most worried. 'I almost never pick up a streetwalker.

Because in truth that is probably who this law is being targeted at.

And if you look at how these homeland security task forces operate and have been operating as warm up in the past few months already in NC, you would understand that streetwalkers and bookstores might actually be the least concern.

I met a girl last night and I told her I'd like to buy her dinner. There was no discussion of cash. I asked if I could kiss her, she allowed it and me to touch her.

And from there, I left her "dinner" and we enjoyed each other. My intention is to buy her dinner.

Stop asking for qv, stop asking for menus, stop being specific about details. Stop going to shady hotels. Stop doing car shit. Stop picking up streetwalkers.

Cops are not going to let you kiss them or touch them and undress them. Never offer money for anything that can be remotely be considered sex.

Hello fellow mongers.

This new law is definitely taking serious path.

Just out of curiosity if this goes on like this, most of NC mongers will be seen in SC.

Florence will be safe bet l.

It will add few hrs of drive but save from all this.

Any thoughts?

SC is a workable option for now, as is VA. For reference, Republicans in VA introduced HB51 to try their own version of increasing penalties for prostitution (although much tamer than ours). So far that bill has failed in committee. The main difference is that their republicans aren't quite as conservative and enough align with the democrats on social morality / personal freedom issues. Either of those states are much safer right now. I had a dream with an amazing provider in Richmond a couple of years ago. I've heard some rumblings that conservatives in SC intend to introduce a similar bill to ours next year, so that state's scene may be short lived.

I did see this and it warmed my heart knowing it was most likely part of it. The timing was too close. Hope everyone of the sickos gets the max sentence.

Anyone that is an immigrant should probably quit the hobby, at least in NC. You don't want to miss this...

As an aside I hope they get every one of the pedo's.

Agree with that 100.

Homeland security is setting up shop here for the new law change after Dec 1. I'd say this is. Probably just a little warm up session for them. Not looking good for all the people saying the Dec law won't change anything.

For sure. The only buyer stings that can lead to felonies in November are solicitation of minors. They're here and practicing for the main event.

I stand corrected on it being scammer, but not too far off. I have zero problem arresting those guys of course, but it shows how rarely this actually happens when the sting operation leads to someone here calling out the posting. It's like how hitmen listings on the dark web are purportedly all sting operations as well.

Scrolling around on STG, found an interesting. Messaged and the response was the girl was 14? Never was one to narc before but any idea how to safely report this account? Seems like either a sting account which good for them trying to catch sickos or an actual sicko who needs to be taken down. Gunna go take a long shower after I'm done vomiting.

Eight men have been charged in a multi-agency undercover operation targeting child sex predators and human traffickers.

Between Nov. 12 and Nov. 15, officers and agents posed as children and traffickers, arranging to meet men who solicited the agents for sex at various locations in Wake Forest.

The arrests were made by the Wake Forest Police Department and the Wake County Sheriff's Office.

Homeland Security Investigations, the State Bureau of Investigation, the Cary Police Department, the Harnett County Sherriff's Office, the Wake County District Attorney's Office and the USA Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of NC also assisted in the operation.

The Wake Forest Police Department said child sex and human trafficking crimes are on the rise and urged parents to be vigilant, speaking with their children and monitoring their behavior online and offline.

Looks like Homeland Security has already set up shop. Probably warming up for the new Dec law.

Someone posted the other day about a 14 year old!! Yikes & this is the ones who need to be taken off the streets if knowingly going to meet an underage.
