I too am a bit concerned about the client lists of the two agencies, cause I'm definitely on them. And I have some reason to be concerned about my name getting out appearing on the lists in media.

But the good thing for folks like me worrying, is that looking at the scope of the busts, which is pretty big if you think about it, is that there has only been one media story. And it's in a publication that most people don't even realize exists. If the media is going to cover who was on the client list, they'd be covering the bust. But they're not.

So by the time the client lists come around, I'm sure someone on the DC city council will have done something far more egregious and the bust won't be newsworthy.

I'm on the client lists as well, but I'm not too nervous. There's zero chance of any legal trouble since the evidence comes down to someone writing your info in a notebook. If I told you I had written a list of names, yours was on it, and at the top I wrote "Murderers", would you be concerned? Unless someone was wiretapping or filming/photographing you, it's heresay. And the schedulers never meet the johns, they can't pick you out of a lineup.

There are the personal implications, like SO's, job, etc. But consider this: Do you shop at Best Buy? Use a Playstation3 for online games? Have a Citibank account? Shopped at Borders (back when they existed)?

Those are just some of the companies whose systems have been compromised over the past year, and publicly stated that customer data was stolen. I live a pretty straight-laced lifestyle, my friends and family would more readily believe my information was stolen than the possibily that I hobby. Expect someone to eventually ask, and practice your surprised reaction and outrage.

If you want to play in this arena, you have to plan ahead and accept the possibility you may have some explaining to do. Otherwise stick with porn and strip clubs.

Also, this is DC...there news turnover here rapidly. When'd this happen? Like Thursday or Friday? Old news. It would have been hot news if it was during the week and news was slow.

While I agree with you that there is limited chance of any legal issues, to think that just because the schedulers couldn't pick you out of a line-up means there is no way they can "prove" you visited a gal, there is such as thing as reasonable doubt, and there *could* be a huge amount of evidence stacked against a "john" if the LE wanted to do so.  Do I think they want to? Absolutely not.  Do I care? No... I'm not on any list, and when I write fictionalized encounters here on TER, I never imagine myself visiting an agency lady -- only independents.  

Anyways, food for thought:
-they busted them, therefore could subpoena their phone records -- easy to see calls made in/out, timing of those calls (to collaborate their "Books" aka excel spreadsheets of johns and meeting times, etc) -- they can get cell phone records, text messages confirming appts, with your numbers, sending you the hotel / room #, and as well the calls to/from the "escort" showing completion of an appointment.
-they have their computers, e-mail accounts, etc most likely -- every e-mail sent has a header, with which a LOT of information can be extracted.  Original IP addresses (where it was sent from -- ie, where did you send your request from? Home computer? Cell phone network [which a specific cell phone IP and timestamp can be traced back to a specific cell #], and a whole wealth of other info can be derived [if they really wanted to]
-and they clearly have the cash that made it's way from the ladies to the agency for payment -- and I doubt the ladies made that money appear from nowhere -- someone gave that to her, within a finite time window... and it can be reasonably presumed it was from johns A B and C, based on electronic correspondence.

So to think we all walk on this untraceable route, without the ability to be "caught" simply because no one can ID you out of lineup, nor saw an exchange of cash for sex -- there can be quite a strong case presented against any particular person.  Again, the amount of time/resources/and energy required makes this incredibly unlikely -- but if they find a name or names of interest, wouldn't be surprised if a few are rounded up.  Just my $0.02.
