Girls Beware of escorting in Vegas

[xrey]

For those who have been arrested, charged, and convicted of prostitution what is the sentence for the first second third etc ...? Is it primarily a financial hit that you take or is there usually a significant amount of jail time involved?

Cost of doing business?

I think theyre doing a good job. If you cant do the time, don't do the crime. I hope more of these girls will get real jobs. Its sets a bad example to young kids in the area.

WTF..it's VEGAS..what "good" example is the area setting for kids...That gambling your life savings away is "good". Setting examples for kids is not what Las Vegas is about (tho sometimes they try that shit with their whole Theme park look)..It's Sin City..and prostitution belongs with Vegas like bacon belongs with eggs...

There are a few things to say about that.

- Prostitution is not illegal everywhere in the US.

- If we were to really enforce the laws prohibiting prostitution, in places where it is illegal- think of the way it would change things even for "normal every day people." As far as the letter of the law is concerned, any exchange of sex for gifts, services, or assets would meet the definition of prostitution. That would make it, as far as the law is concerned, illegal for sex to occur at any time following an asset exchange.

Scenarios like: Sex after a girl accepts an engagement ring, Sex after a girl is bought dinner on a date... hell it would technically be illegal for a wife to have sex with her husband after receiving a gift of lingerie from her husband (not all couples combine their finances or assets).

The only reason why communities don't use the law to go after married couples who have sex after the wife receives a gift of lingerie is because it would show just how stupid and pointless these prostitution prohibitions really are.

There is more to Nevada than Vegas.

As far as the state (Nevada) is concerned, prostitution under some situations is legal.

As far as the local city of Vegas is concerned, its not.

Local towns or cities can have separate laws from whatever a given state says all the time, on all kinds of issues.

sorry freddy its illegal

That's hardly the point is it? I thought it ridiculous that you could moralize prostitution arrests in an are like Las Vegas.

Las Vegas = setting a good example for kids...that's called an oxymoron.

There used to be (might even still exist in some areas) laws on the books against Sodomy. If you lived in an area like that ..would you go about your life following the letter of the law and being perfectly happy having your vanilla sex.while lauding the local law enforcement for "doing a good job"as they're carting away your neighbor in handcuffs for getting a blowjob..because - "Its sets a bad example to young kids in the area."

marriage is not ONLY about sex.

Re-read my post. I never said anything regarding what "marriage is about"

Reality is, under prostitution prohibitions- it is illegal for a wife to have sex after receiving any kind of gift, such as lingerie... since that would be an exchange of goods & services.

I would HOPE most marriages are about more than sex. But the law could care less what a marriage is about. I would be very surprised if you could find a marriage license anywhere in the country that asks whether the couple applying for a marriage are in love with each other.

To say that "oh, because they're married... that changes things" isn't a valid argument. ANY exchange of goods, services, or assets for sex is prostitution under the letter of the law. Yet "normal" "good, law abiding citizens" engage in prostitution in this country every day... and the law turns a blind eye to it. Why? Because if the law was applied FAIRLY, and UNIVERSALLY then people would see it as the farce it is.
