Just curious what the legal risks are to hobbyists who simply arrange a massage appointment over the phone for a set rate. If a sensual massage (Just those words, no description of activities) is agreed upon for a set rate, is the hobbyiest in any legal danger? Or does he have to actually go to the appointment and hand over the requested fee to be in danger?
since you're in San Diego, sting city, you need to stay with providers who have been reviewed numerous times.
LE in SD could set up their own massage place and sting you.
You are also far more likely to be ripped off in San Diego. Look at the ripoff board for examples.
You must use the Search function. Look for what you want, and someone who has been positively reviewed 3X or more.
Do the search. It brings up over 50 hits! These are a few, but go read the reviews to avoid surprises.
Heavenly/Chassy, Joy, Lana, Syra, Erika, Meagan Lee, Kris,
Misty & Barbie, Sonata, Cher.
I did not look at the reviews, but only plugged in 3X+ reviews, c-bbj. So you have to do your homework still to eliminate trogs and poor service. LOL
to arrest you. You would probably have to meet her. Perhaps TheLawyer will expand upon this.
agreed to fs or a bbj on the phone and coming to the room
is an overt act in the attempt to commit the crime.
Happens all of the time, for instance in a typical Virginia sting last year.
Guys knocked on the door in the motel, and were arrested immeditely. Guys were even arrested coming down the hall to get that fs or bj. Guess what. Cops do not always tell the truth!
The MO for the sting was to ask the guy on the phone what he was interested in, even to suggest fs, so if he showed up, the crime of attempt for sufficient for an arrest at least. That is what vice wants, arrests. Those do a ton of damage because wifey sees he's in the motel looking for poon in all the wrong places.
Arranging an appt. over the phone for a "sensual massage" (no description of activities).
Legal danger? Come on!
Suppose the answer was yes - you have to actually go to the appointment. How would that information be of any use? Why would you make an appt. if you don't plan to go to it?!
Dont have any legal advice , but from recent experience I can tell you what I do.
First of all use TER for what its purpose is , qualify whouyou are calling.
If you are interested in seeing someone who has not been reviewed, be extra carefull.
I will make appointment with the provider based on her review's, I will not mention her reviews unless she brings them up. I will not discuss hourly rate, no reason to, cuz you know what it is. I will not discuss any services, no reason to, I know what she provides. I basically try to set up the appointment and that is it! If you decide to see someone without reviews you may get burned for cash, cuz you dont know what you might get if its an agency. If its a LE setup then you save yourself from a sting. In either case show up and carry fee in envelope , I like to set it down with my wallet and keys in plain view. Do not discuss activities just let the appointment take you whereever. If the appointment goes as planned pick up your belongings and leave the envelope. If she asks if the envelope is for her you can give her a nod. If she needs to count it and puts it away that is cool. I worry about LE stings and recordings so keep the conversation to a minimum.
She may ask you about the amount, you should nod if she states a number. I try not to discuss $$ at all if possible.
I never discuss any illegal activities especially if she asks what you want. I just say lets see how it goes. Just take the lead or let her take the lead and follow.
Conversation can be dangerous on a first meeting, even if she has reviews. I was recently busted with someone who had 4+ reviews in O.C.. My case was dismissed , they had no evidence. I understand LE will lie and fabricate, but how can you defend yourself against that. Just dont give them anything to expand on. Just because someone has reviews doesnt make them 100% safe especially in o.c.. Check out the reviewers, cross check them, if they have seen someone you have seen quiz them.
I will wait to see if someone credible has reviewed in the past and email them about common past appointments.
You cant be too carefull in o.c.!!!!
The fact that you were busted when with someone reviewed 3X is a real eye opener. Could you give us more details of how LE knew, were the reviews fake, was she cooperating with LE, etc?
Your behavior was smart tho and the charges dismissed.
