there was a post for a HJ...we talked...i felt uneasy, something was just not right...anyways, when I walked into his room, he instantly handed me money. he didn't want a massage table,he wanted the bed instead...i told him to get comfortable and left the room, when I came back he was totally nude...I massaged him for an hour and when it was over, arrested me for prostitution. LE has audio, had a hidden microphone...I may have incremenated myself. No sexual contact was made. LE bursted in the room, took pictures and I was clothed. booked for prostitution, and didn't even touch his hard-on.

The case against you might be strong or weak, depending on what happened between the two of you.  If you touched his buttocks or genitals for the sake of his sexual gratification you crossed the line.  The same is true if you let him touch you in the same areas or on the breasts.

I'm not sure what you mean about incriminating yourself.  The police and D.A. will be concerned with what you did in this instance and not with prior appointments that you may have talked about during the session.  You cannot be convicted based solely on your unsworn, out-of-court statements, and the D.A. probably won't be able to get any other evidence of those prior acts unless you help him.  

This doesn't mean that what you said was irrelevant.  If you offered him sexual services in exchange for money then you committed solicitation, which is a crime defined by the same code section that defines prostitution.  This may be what they really plan to charge you with.  Also, what you said may have been intended to arouse the guy, so it might be admissible to show that what you were doing was for the purpose of sexual gratification.

The most important thing to do right now is get a lawyer.  Don't talk to ANYONE about your case except the lawyer you hire and any other lawyers you consult while deciding who to retain.  Above all else, don't give the D.A. or the police any statements.  

Good luck.

Your first sentence is intriguing, "there was a post for a HJ."  You don't say who posted, you or LE.  Either way it probably wouldn't matter, because you accepted money.  Whether he asked for, or you offered, a HJ for money, it's illegal.  (The fact that a hand job never occured is irrelevant.)

It's also interesting that he got totally nude.  So much for having the guy "whip it out" to prove he isn't LE.  I guess that doesn't work any more!

my guy got nude almost two years ago now and he was not only nude but I did the act and LE busted through the door. I wasnt dressed correctly but I didn't say a word. I said hello and always waited until after the session to get the money so LE busted in before money or promises for money were exchanged. I was held in jail but my trial never came.

I have gone through massage school and in SC, the medical board requires that the client be covered with a sheet on areas that aren't being massage at that moment or you can be sued for malpractice.

You can also get in trouble for using the word "bed". My school wrote me up for referring to my massage table as a bed while praticing on another student

Just Curious...What Form of Screening did you use??
Or NOT Use?

I answered an ad in the paper promising fast, easy money and the owner explained/lied to me that he knew all his clients by face and wouldn't send me someone he didn't know w/o warning me. The cop said hello to him and he took his info down and sent him to me. I massaged him w/o questioning anything

I am now an escort. I can still get into legal trouble but is is legal to escort someone in SC. It is not legal to massage w/o proper school and taking a standard national test and paying for fees for liscense and malpratice medical insurance....there are dress codes for massage therapists and zoning codes in south carolina as to where you can massage..

for example, you can't massage from your home, apartment or a hotel room

i own a serivce here in florida and thats a 1st.for me  hearing the( LE  ;) got totally nude!! all the cases ive heard the (LE)  have been without there shirts or in boxxer shorts,,

I am a business consultant with clients in the adult entertainment industry. I tell all my clients that LE is not so concerned with getting a conviction as in making an arrest. Even if they don't have enough evidence to get a DA to prosecute, they will still make an arrest if only to persecute YOU. They know it costs you money (takes you out of the market, attorney, bail, etc.), intimidates the host locations (cooperative hotels/motels) and builds a rap sheet for the eventuality that they WILL get a case that will stick to you. Remember: LE is the largest criminal organization on this planet. Trust nothing they say. Say nothing to them.

i have a qouestion!  i own an  escort agecny and my qouestion is,, if (LE) is doing an undercover sting to arrest girls in a hotel or motel thats private property,  do the leagly have to  tell or notify the hotel/motel manegmant that there doing this in there private property???

The short answer is NO as doing so could compromise the sting. A general rule of thumb is this: LE can and will do anything, everything to effect an arrest - even if doing so breaks the law. LE is comfortable letting the courts untangle the mess later; in the meantime, they got their bust, you've spent money and/or time in jail, and they're smiling into the cameras, successfully, on the evening news.

i have a qouestion for anybody that can help me!!   if you get aressted for prostituion but the chrages were droped  u were set free and there was no case  but you wrere still  aaressted and spent time in jail!  since all charges were droped and basically innocent,, would i be able to bring up the poloce department, the city and/or the officers  in a civil  law suite aginst them for pain and suffering     false imprisonment,, and expensive etc--due to my areest???

I think you can only pursue a case of abuse of civil rights or false imprisonment if the LE agency actively sought and singled you out as a course of their investigation. If you were incarcerated during a blanketed sting operation (Dragnet), you could only sue if they denied you your civil rights under that arrest: no access to legal council for example, or if you were detained in inhuman conditions; a patrol car that was parked in 100° heat and the officers denied you any respite, or you needed to use the bathroom and they told you you had to hold it. But keep in mind, that as a plaintiff, you have to prove this by a preponderance of the evidence, so it's a long shot. I'd just thank your lucky stars that you came out of it relatively unscathed.
