I read that eleven men were arrested on a recent weekend at the Wardman Marriott hotel in DC. Apparently, they were lured by on-line ads placed by LE.

does anyone know anything about this?

Didn't hear about it. Post the link. If it was a CL/BP ad that these men responded to, I wouldn't worry too much. These kind of stings happen all the time.

The Northwest Current newspaper has an article on the Wardman Marriott sting in its current issue.

It says the arrested hobbyists were led out the back.

The Northwest Current says the hobbyists were lured with on-line ads. I'd guess none of the providers in these LE front ads had any reviews.

I've had many a session at this hotel.....but of course the ladies were reveiwed and known.

He didn't say it didn't happen there, he merely (artfully?) stated that it was not an issue. It is not an issue at this hotel and most other upscale locations. Which speaks to the usual quality of provider that frequents that category (or better) of hotel.

Our collective favorites stay at the better places and understand decorum, discretion, and the value of never making their presence an issue.  

I get what you meant and I agree with you that it happens EVERYWHERE, but the fact it happens doesn't mean it will be an ISSUE everywhere (or anywhere).  

Excuse me I have to book a suite.
