All those fucking resources to trap a poor schmuck who might like to get laid.  And where it's legal anyway 30 miles down the road.

My friend and I recently went to Reno for the weekend and stayed at the Circus Circus. We were approached by a 130lbs, 6', white woman in her early 20's who called herself "Trixy" and she began flirting with me and my friend. Long story short we quickly found out her intentions and my friend made a deal with her. I cannot tell you why but I decided to go with them when my friend asked me to come with. As soon as we went in her room we were tackled by at least 6 police officers and arrested, both charged with solicitation. The police seemed excited after the arrest and were even bragging with one another about how Circus Circus and Silver Legacy are "always easy fish'n for Johns" and about how they've already got reservations for more rooms next week.

We both remained silent and waited to speak to an attorney before speaking to the police. The charges against me were dropped but unfortunately not for my friend. I'm well aware to do my due diligence/reviews now and to never pick up a gal 'from the streets' (or casinos). Even though the charges were dropped I don't feel like they should have even arrested me initially because I never mentioned anything about sex or money (yes going to the room was the utmost idiotic thing I could do but I was drunk).

 I realize this warning/lesson may sound dumb but remember to be smart and careful out there.

...would use the name "Trixy."  Really, "Trixy?"  That name is the cliché of all clichés.  It's like naming your dog "Fido" or "Rover."  You should have known immediately that only unimaginative, dumbass cops would use the name Trixy.

Isn't it true that an undercover cop posing as a prostitute cannot initiate the solicitation?  The john has to make the first move.  In this case, it seems that the cop made the first move.  Doesn't that go against protocol ?

Not to mention that I assume both guys were drunk, the OP has already confirmed he was drunk, so do you really think he will get all the details correct?

Saying, "Hi sweety, while batting her eyes" is not legally "initiating" anything but a conversation.  Keep in mind the cops do this shit everyday, also keep in mind that they will lie to make a case.

Was it recorded?  She'll swear your friend did.  He said, she said...  but she's a LEO & supposedly going to tell the truth.
Did she have reviews?

I never saw any of this but according to my friend he says they showed him a shitty video/audio recording and that he thinks that the camera that she had was in her big purse. He said they also showed him a security video which followed her around on the cameras the entire time and followed us on camera to the room. He also said that they had a couple security guards in normal cloths and a cop in normal cloths who were following her and hanging out around us while we talked.  

She sat next to us and I think she or my friend said hi to start it off. It basically came down to him eventually asking her what her plans were that night and she told him that she was looking for a party and their conversation proceeded from there. I have searched for reviews of anyone named Trixy or Trixi and for other incidents regarding Reno. The only thing I've found were a few news reports about the Reno police busting people at Circus Circus.

Edit: Yes I actually searched for reviews for Trixy/Trixi. I thought that it was possible that the cops might have created a fake profile/fake reviews online to lure people in and was searching for anything that I could to help my friend.

and what a horrible waste of taxpayer dollars that has to be pushing the limits of entrapment.

but I hope your warning keeps at least a few guys safe. "Casino girls" are fraught with risk, but it usually bad service or trick rolling that we have to be on guard for, not Uncle Leo.

I have to confess, I pick up so  many hookers in bars, but in countries where it is legal, I could easily have been in your, or your buddies shoes. Thanks for the reminder.

I can't ever remember this happening in Vegas, but Vegas gets plenty of tax revenue without the legal brothels that are quite a ways out of town.

Maybe the legal brothels in Northern Nevada have enlisted the help of LE in an effort to keep all the business for themselves? Just a thought, but it does make you wonder.

You dodged a bullet and thankfully, you remained silent which was a big help. Sorry about your friend. Although you'll get the "entrapment" advice here, I doubt you'll find a lawyer who will advise your friend to go to trial. Something like 85 percent of cases get pled out ie. your friend goes to court an pleads guilty to a reduced charge (maybe). Or he's given the option of pleading guilty to the solicitation charge at a reduced fine or going to trial and getting the max fine if he's found guilty. No, they don't play fair at all. Thanks for posting this.

and I doubt anyone will, I only said that it sounded like they were "pushing the limits" of entrapment, only an attorney with access to all the evidence against him could possibly make the call as to whether or not to proceed to trial.

It also depends on how damaging a solicitation conviction is to his friend. For some it's the arrest and being outed to wife, boss et al that does the damage, for others an actual conviction is what can ruin them. Without knowing all the details giving advice here is all but impossible, and relying on any advice more specific than "get a good lawyer" from anyone here would be foolish as well.

It will cost but the attorney will be able to review the evidence.  Only then can advise be given.
