I was visiting Chicago couple months ago and got arrested by police sting operation.

Here is briefly what happened.  We made a date, rate was discussed... he arrived at my hotel.

We chatted for a good 15 minutes, and I asked if he would take a shower for me.

He came out of the bathroom and said...

"Do you do anal".

I said "No"

"What do you do?"  he asked.

"Nothing kinky," I replied "just the regular escort stuff".

There were no talks of money during the time he was with me.

I'm not sure but I think he asked if we could have fun along the line getting intimate... I said sure.

As soon as I said that, two other police came in and took me to the station.


Does anyone have a good lawyer to reccomend to me?

I am visiting from Canada where I live permanently  and I don't have legal status in USA yet.  This is my first charge ever.


Your help is appreciated!!!!

Just pay the fine. It's your word against the cops. Plus they must have your ad or site they could use. Don't waste your time with a lawyer save your money for the fine. All lawyers are scum.  Just go back to Canada.

ed to something lessf you can not affored a laywer..you should be able to have a court appointed lawyer.

If what facts you state are correct..solicitaion charges are likely to be filed.

If you pay a lawyer..chances are you can get this reduced to something..stay with a public defender..and most likely your record will follow.

Even though you are National..you still could have a record here. Find a good lawyer if you can afford..someone that is professional..and tell them the facts.

It sounds to me like they may have a tough time proving that you offered to have sex for money, including because the guy asked you, not the other way around.  However, I don't hear anything you said that is "if you pay me, I'll do XXX."  It would be best if you didn't use the word escort, but in general it sounds like their charges against you will fail.

My ATF got a lawyer who claimed he would help her and then after
she paid him, he advised her to plead guilty and then wanted sex
afterwards.

I would recommend that you get a good criminal defense attorney. You imply that you are not a citizen of Canada and that you do not have a legal status in the U.S.. It would help if you could state what your citizenship is, since I don't want to assume that you are a U.S. citizen.  
If you are not a U.S. citizen, then this type of offense could have an impact on your ability to travel into the U.S. from Canada, due to our ever changing immigration laws.  If you are not a Citizen, then you also need to obtain a good immigration law attorney or a criminal defense attorney that is very familiar with the legal system.  
Unfortunately, I am not familiar with the laws of Illinois, so I am unable to give you any specific information.  Needless to say, in some jurisdictions the officers are allowed to do the deed and then arrest you. A good defense attorney may be able to work out a deal for you, where you do not get a conviction, or the cops may have violated your rights and you may be able to get the case dismissed, by suppressing the evidence.  Good Luck.

WHERE WERE YOU, YOU STATE HE CAME TO VISIT YOU, AND 2 OTHER OFFICERS BUSTED IN? DO YOU LOCK THE HOTEL DOOR? OR WERE YOU ON AN OUTCALL? PUBLIC DEFENDERS ARE GOOD TO, THEY'ER ALWAYS IN THE COURT THEY KNOW JUDGES ETC.....
