Bradenton police online prostitution sting nets 4 at hotel
By BETH BURGER - [email protected]
BRADENTON — A woman with short dark hair reaches behind her neck posing as if she is going to remove a bikini top in front of what appears to be a hotel room door.
“We can cook, clean, have a night out on the town or just spend a quiet evening together,” begins an adult services ad on the Craigslist classified ad Web site.
Her name is Tina. She is 26 with brown hair and blue eyes, according to the ad.
And for $100 you get to enjoy her company for a half hour, according to the ad.
This was just one of several Craigslist ads Bradenton Police Department detectives responded to as part of a prostitution sting in which four women were arrested Thursday afternoon.
In real life, the woman is a 28-year-old Bradenton woman, and her name isn’t Tina.
When an undercover detective called and met her at the Holiday Inn Express, 4450 47th St. W., she agreed to perform oral sex for $150, according to the arrest report.
She was immediately arrested by several investigators who had been monitoring the transaction with hidden video and audio equipment, according to the report.

in reading the complete article is that the police admit that a carefully worded ad is not enough to arrest.  Unfortunately, had she not discussed performing a specific act for money, she probably would not have been arrested.

Sarasota-Bradenton area has been a hot bed for LE stings these past few months.  There are not as many CL ads in that area any way, and because of that, you are almost sitting prey to LE stings.

This is why one should NEVER specifically discuss a sex act or money in the same sentence- and that goes for both parties.

..lie to you, and make up identities. They can create a ficticious person and it's all legal. What screening can you do to detect this?

BTW: Entrapment is making you break the law. Cops nowadays simply give you an opportunity to break the law, which is not entrapment.

Be careful and be smart.

They can have fake ID and pass your screening. I know a provider that made a date with a man 2 weeks in advance from out of town. She was a good screener and it didn't help her when she walked in that hotel room.

Yes exactly they can do and make up anything they want and all the screening in the world will not help you.  

With 7 yrs in this biz, I have never had any trouble in this respect.

In my opinion, gut instinct is the only thing you can rely on totally.  I have pulled up to outcall locations, put it in reverse and drove right away cause it didn't feel right!

Thanks
