This person was teaching in college...

seriously messed up, but what harm is in commerce between two consenting adults?

 

the reason its illegal is because someone is having fun someone else is making money that is almost impossible to tax

 

If I was bothered by his proclivity, then maybe, but who cares, he's teaching German.

What difference does it make, as long as my kid learns German?

 

Two consenting adults

College teacher...

Changing material facts is not important to this discussion.

 

I am with you Overkill.

 

I'm sorry; Which one was underage? Which one wasn't consenting?

 

Sorry, I have to side with overkill on this one. I don't consider myself a homophobe, but this behavior is indicative of more than sexual preference.

Also, I thought professors got paid pretty well to teach.

 

This whole news bit wasn't even worth the effort of posting.

 

Reinhart and the undercover officer came to an agreement to exchange 30 minutes of sexual service for $60.
“After they came to the agreement, that was enough for a charge,” Smith said.

I’m just wondering:

Doesn’t ‘sexual service’ actually have to be rendered to be prostitution?
Is there such a thing as ‘Attempted Prostitution?
What if Reinhart provided the service but wasn’t paid, did theft of services occur?
What if Reinhart demanded the fee first, but then declined to provide the service, would it still be prostitution or petty larceny?
If the service was rendered under the pretense that Reinhart was, in fact, a female, would that be misrepresentation?
What if only 23 minutes of service was provided? Would that be a breach of an oral contract (literally & figuratively )? What would the remedy be? Would the rate be prorated?

(Don't mind me. I'm just trying to avoid cleaning the house.)

 

I'm with Dr. Ron Paul on this. Were does the state get off regulating a business transaction. Simple answer, it they can't tax or license it, it's illegal.

The moral argument against prostitution has kept it illegal and the illegality is one of the tools pimps use to force young women into this life.

Were it legal, States and cities would immediately have budget surpluses and the only ones participating in it would actually be doing it by choice.

The prevailing thought here is that NO ONE has the right to choose whether or not WE can buy or sell guns...so why do so many of us think it's our place to decide whether or not a person can profit from sexual activity?

Honestly, what's more dangerous, buying a weapon to discharch or renting a hooker to discharge your gun?

Tack

 

Where did it say this guy was leading cub scouts? Now if this guy was trying to get with little boys I say cut his nuts off and let him bleed out in the river. But as far as two consenting adults doing their thang (which has absolutely no effect on me) I say who gives a crap? If this guy was a good professor is sounds like the only people hurt by this are his students.

 

You can't seriously believe that any & every 'business' transaction should be unregulated. This is a really weak, ultra-libertarian argument.

 

Actually, I do...but I welcome you to please give me 1 example of a Government regulation that is good for business, good good for the economy or somehow makes anything better for the consumer?

Tack

 

Sick? Who would pay a 65 old cross dresser for sex? These people are not criminals they are patients.
