RE: Transporting a Provider
Wow, that's a different case than the one I recall. From what I remember, the incident to which I referred happened in Seattle area, I think a casino up in Skagit county. But I'm not surprised that another case very similar to this one also occurred.
This just brings up a series of questions in my mind. For instance, out on the stroll we're all pretty much transporting the girls. So Hypothetically, if one of us brings her back out to the stroll after our date, are we committing a felony? We all know in our minds that she'll be working out there. She might not have an actual date set-up yet, but we know that at some point after we drop her that she will have another date. So, theoretically, we're assisting in her quest to commit sex work. I wonder where that boundary exists. In this current political climate of prosecutors focusing on johns, I'm wondering if this might be pursued at some point. I could see this being an option particularly in the case where an underage SW is involved.
Hell, I don't know, just thinking out loud here. The bottom-line is that john busts out on Aurora are coming, I think they're just formulating how they're going to go about it. The above just seems like another charge to throw at the wall.
[QUOTE=Alas5877;5738582]I remember that on TNA. The issue with that guy was he lived in North Portland. She wanted to go to the casino north of vancouver. Your recollection was right that she ratted him out immediately, but the Washington DA ended up pressing for trafficking charges because he drove her across state lines to commit a felony. He admitted that he knew what she was doing in the casino. That's what got him busted. He admitted what her intentions were plus he drove her across state lines. That's the double whammy that got him convicted. Was like 7 years or something if I remember right.[/QUOTE]
