Another victim of Backpage. ALWAYS use p411 and/or TER
Was arrested at 5:45 so I doubt he solicited a streetwalker - wonder if he got busted using Backpage??
Which is a warning for everyone to be on high alert. Way too much stuff going on recently, southern Maryland (18 guys), Fairfax county 38 guys, now this.
38 guys in Fairfax? I must have missed this...
It was not in the news (Fairfax county) but the information is on the net and on a government site that gets updated every week. You have to look at the site every week before they purge the records. There is another blog/site that keeps track of what is going on. google search "prostitution crackdown dmv".

That he answered online ad, but didn't say what kind. Somebody should have told him about TER.
Looks like people need to be extra careful. I just saw a post about Baltimore county stings on a another hobby board.
So he was arrested at DoubleTree. Backpage perhaps?
It only costs a few hundred bucks a year for membership but it is more than worth it. You avoid the long arm of the law and avoid wasting money on bad providers.
Do not remember which street. If true - no sympathy.
Does anyone have any tips on how to identify a suspicious ad on BP or other sites that may be a sting?
avoid them in such combination?
If they are active on TER and/or P411 or other verification site you can be pretty confident that they are legit. Do your research and you will be fine.

He was picked up for soliciting a TS SW.
and in theory could be busted, flipped, and used as bait. Is that too paranoid?
That it was an internet sting. They mentioned he used a computer. Also it was incall and 14 other guys got busted. Watch the video on wjla. He busted right after they set up the incall sting at the hotel from an internet ad.

Happens more than you think with providers getting flipped. Not just bp providers.
.... i've heard this scenario happen more than few times via P411 (both clients and providers).
LE seems to always use them for stings..Just like in this case they used the DoubleTree Hilton off of Rhode Island Ave.
Rbut more and more BP ladies are BP/Date check members who don't even look at your profile before booking you. If you advertise on BP, too many LE watching to even risk, even if you are verified with reviews. That just me, others may not be as risk adverse
LE and Hilton got a thing going on ...
Is there a link to the ad that he answered?
