I GOT THIS CALL....

[cheribaum]

.... on Christmas night as I was putting the finishing touches to my outfit for the night, at the same time texting my pharmacist from my cell to see if he can refill my THC perscription when suddenly Im startled by my cell ringing. Now I very rarely answer PRIVATE calls and every so often my instinct tells me to answer. So when I do answer them IM VERY GLAD I DID

So I answer the PRIVATE call and a deep voiced man says, " I hope you are enjoying yourself, Im contacting the ******* police and notifying them you are prostitute and working in the area." of course I had heard what he just said but I said, "you're going to do what?" After repeating what he just said he finishes with saying, " Do you know I just found your information saved on my 16 yr old sons computer and im contacting the police" also calling me a hooker and manly man.... lol.... before hanging up.

Ok so the next day I of course am not contacted by the law or harrassed or even felt the slightest bit in danger of being POPPED by cops.

So I wonder... Did what he said really happen or was it another TS escort in the area trying to scare me off. Or some homophobe just trying to get his kicks. I cant call ******* police to see if anything was actually done like he said he would do... any opinions?

probably just some guy jealous that his son is into better lookin girls than he was at that age.

Whether he really was a father or not, it breaks down to just a case of he said/she said if there's no physical evidence. I'm not sure where you're from Cheri, but I'd hope the police there have more pressing matters to investigate. I think you're safe.

a) Where is this? If it's in any big city, forget it.

b) Like the police can't find tranny hookers any time they want them? (irony intended)

Its not a crime to have your pics on someone elses computer, nude or otherwise....Its not like you put them there lol.....

He could cause a hassle for you though, if he really felt like being a dick.

Yah, that's my vote as well. :lol:

If it were my son, I wouldn't be on the girl, I'd be all over him instead. What was the guy doing in his son's computer anyway? Prolly already looking for megs of downloaded porn.

BTDT. The issue I had to deal with when my son was 16 was how he was making 900 calls to some electric pussy in...are you ready for this?...Guyana. A $700 phone bill shows up and, worse, another followed for over a grand (And the phone company is apathetic about it and pushes for the charges to be paid).

Unless escort charges are showing up on the guy's credit card, there's not much he can do and any calls he makes to the cops are just going to be free advertising for you, Cheri. :wink:

lol, that's probably it.... :P
I don't think there is much you can do in this situation, except for dialling *69 and letting the police know that this guy has been harassing you on the phone.

Don't tell them exactly what he said, just that he's been harassing you. That is, if you really feel threaten by this loser.

[popperluv]

The guys is pissed that his son may like girly cock!
Dont let it bother you, just move on.

[BOATER]

Be cautious, as I'm sure you usually are. But definetly don't panic. It was probably a hoax.
Chance are it was a someone that may have tried hooking up with you and you ignored his emails. I'm sure you've had guys call or email you saying that they want to get to know you as a person.
Second, if it was really the case. The dad probably slept on it and decided it was not worth the hassle. If he shows the cops he would have to expalin and with that comes personal embarrassment.
Third, it was on his computer his wife found your pictures and he tried to push it off on his son. ANd called in front of his wife to show how upset and disgusted he was.
I do a lot of questioning of people, so I've become good at getting at peoples true intentions and motives.
As BlackAdder having pictures on a comp is not a crime. And most towns would take the report, and tell them okay we'll look into it, thanks.But will not waste time with really trying to bust you. Cops do there normal sting operations and it works in cycles on when they target victimless crimes. It is not a priority bust.

I have a couple of friends in the "business" and I've always asked them why they would advertise on the net when some sort of law enforcement official could easily track them down. They told me that very rarely does this happen and it's just part of the risk you take.

With that said, one of my friends did get busted in St. Louis by an undercover cop. She's been doing this for years and it was the only time she got busted.
Luckily, she was able to hire a good attorney and get the charges dropped.

BeardedOne, why shouldn't the phone company push for the charges? IT makes all the sense in the world to me!

Good point. I just have a problem with a company that provides a venue for an illegal activity (In this case [the case of my story], purveying porn to a minor) requiring the victim to pay for a service which neither the host venue nor the provider made any attempt to regulate.

This is why you see so few 900 numbers around anymore. TPC got their cajones sued off so many times for just this issue. Most providers now require payment by credit card because there are very few minors with plastic and even if charges are made to a parents' or stolen card, most banks will chargeback the entire amount rather than tapdance in front of the nooz cameras on aid-to-pandering of minors charges.

An extension of this was the dicking around that both the local phone service and the long-distance provider did when a request was made to block access to 900 numbers from that line. They both claimed it was the other company's responsibility to block the access.

The guy who called wasn't concerned or even mentioned that his son had NUDE pics. of me saved on his 'puter. He said his son had my escort info and that is how he contacted me. My contact info is not on my website. Nor does my site imply that I escort. However you imply Beardedone that I am supplying porn to minors. Where I advertise is not a porn site (yes my site link is provided on my advertisement but I am paying for that service) Any site I am mentioned is catered to ADULTS ONLY. Is it somehow the porn providers fault that adult content gets into the hands of a curious 16 yr old? Or a 900 #'s fault that phones are easily accesible to minors? YOU CAN ONLY REGULATE SO MUCH!

Anyhow, all posts I had thought about except for what one said about "his wife standing right there watching him call me" I somehow believe that is exactly the case. The voice sounded familiar and he sounded like a dumbass deer caught in headlights.

[BeardedOne]

Forgive me, Cheri, about the wording of my post (And where it fell in the convo). I wasn't implying anything of the sort on your part. It was just the events/opinions pertaining to my son's transgressions with the bad girls in Guyana on his mother's phone.

Your site actually is 'regulated', to the point that is possible now, in that you have clear warnings stated at the 'front door' that kids aren't allowed. The current batch of filtering programs have phrase triggers that look for combinations of "Adults Only", "Must be 18", etc. and will lock down the access computer. If a parent is responsible enough to have such filtering software on the family computer, you've done your part. It's just a matter of the parents doing theirs.

Needless to say, I have 'issues' with phones. I rarely answer the one on my desk and refer to the cell as the 'electric rock'. :roll:

[BeardedOne]

I did a quick clarification edit for you.

Still friends? :)
