It's unlikely, but not impossible.  She probably just wanted to pay you back promptly.

And telling a girl you aren't in a hurry to get paid back right away, might be contsrued to mean
you don't expect repayment.

Cops can bust a lot more guys a lot quicker by setting up a street or hotel sting than having a provider destroy her business to pop a handfull of former dates, maybe.

But then again it seems they will do anything to keep people from bringing pleasure to each other.  I guess none of them gets any at home so they don't want anyone else to get any either.

Loooong story so I'll cut to the chase:

Provider I have seen recently calls me from County.
"Send Bail $$" I did. She calls and asks me to travel to the city where she got busted as she has cash in her hotel room to pay me back as soon as she gets out. I told her I was not in a hurry and
would wait till she came this way again.

Any chance LE is using her to entrap past clients?

If the cops wanted you, they'd just come and get you (unless there is WAY more to the story than you are telling).  They would not use her to transport you.  

First, I can not believe you gave her bail money.  She said that she had money available, so why did she not arrange to deliver THAT money to her at the jail?

My own personal opinion:  This is a dangerous business.  If a girl is going to tangle in the idustry, then she should have some kind of "plan" in place to help get her bailed out if that's what she needs.  Calling on a john to do her bailing out is pretty low.  Why not call on one of her fellow lady friends?

First off, there is a difference between entrapment and merely setting a trap.  Laypeople often think these are just two names for the same thing and that all police stings are thus illegal.  It's easy to find people who've learned that this isn't true - just go to your local jail.

There is nothing illegal about posting bail for someone, even if you know she's guilty as charged.  You can't get into trouble for that.  

It is possible that the police are setting you up so they can record you admitting to past exchanges of money for sex, but your unsworn, out-of-court statement will not even be admissible unless there is some corroborating evidence (this is called the corpus delicti rule).  While the lady's testimony against you would normally be additional evidence, the corpus delicti rule requires the corroboration to come from someone who was not the accused's accomplice.  I'm not certain of this, but I believe each participant in an act of prostitution is an accomplice of the other.  If I'm right, then the young woman's testimony would also not be admissible unless there was additional evidence.

The police may hope you and the provider will have sex for money again while they are watching, but a sting designed merely to get men to talk about prior acts seems unlikely to lead to any convictions.  Having such a conversation is not a crime, so there doesn't seem to be much risk involved in your situation.

If something seems wrong, then it probably is.

There's no science to this, just ESP.
