I believe that conspiracy, even conspiracy to commit a misdemeanor, is still a felony. So his assistants might be in more hot water than the OP himself.
On account of a debilitating physical challenge, I have a team of personal assistants who help me 24/7 in my day-to-day life. Even though I'm young, I'd like to think I have a pretty good head on my shoulders. I don't think I'm going to put myself into any bad situations, but in the event of an unfortunate brush with LE, would I be placing my employees in harms way? They're all very important to me, and this is one of my largest lingering questions before starting to hobby. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
But certainly, any person who abets a person in the commission of a crime, and P4P certainly is one in just about every area of the US, would be guilty of same.
Be sure you stick to gals of the highest caliber and digression and that fear should be minimal.
(still not a lawyer)
I have a disability & friends with the same condition who require 24/7 aides. I don't imagine your aides are easily embarrassed by physical needs... You should not involve your aides in any illegal activities. You can & should ask them to step out... busy themselves elsewhere. Even if they "know" what is going on... do not affront them by confirming it.
I'm assuming a provider interaction would be outcall to your location. You are entitled to have a Girl Friend. You are entitled to respectful privacy when & if you want it. Would you be able to have play time without assistance or just assistance from a partner? You care-ers could set you up but step out. Think 'The Sessions' movie.
If you required care-er assistance to play, it would be very awkward.
...prostitution. Prosecutors are by and large a bunch of constipated conservatives but I doubt that even in their cold, dark hearts would they go after your assistants.
The problem is the police - they round up everyone and let the D.A. sort it out. But even they have some discretion and would probably not bust your assistants. They're more focused on the exchange of sex for money.
I believe that conspiracy, even conspiracy to commit a misdemeanor, is still a felony. So his assistants might be in more hot water than the OP himself.
If HE makes the arrangements, then how would a care-er know a gal is a prostitute & not a legit GF? Even if the car-er knows the couple is having SEX, SEX is not against the law. Even if the care person were to assist... how would they know unless the OP TOLD THEM. The care-ers would be able to deny knowledge of the arrangement... even if they "suspected".
A house-bound person might like to have social contacts, someone to watch TV with, listen to music, read a book... Someone to kiss & cuddle with... there is nothing illegal in a volunteer doing so. All except the last can be administered by paid companions. It's only illegal if the activity becomes sexual... that it can not be paid for.
The problem would come in if the OP had many different gal pals. Most of us prefer to keep that part of our private life PRIVATE... but a severely disabled person already loses too much of that privacy.
An aggressive prosecutor could well charge them, and a criminal charge or record could block them from any future employment.
As others have suggested, better to simple ask them to leave for a while (leave the premises or at least leave the room) and keep them in the dark. The more difficult task may be hiding the expenditures of large amounts of cash - relatives or others are likely to notice and absent an explanation may well suspect or accuse your aides of theft.
