Vice sting made Wednesday a bad night in Dayton for a ‘date’
Wednesday was a bad night in Dayton for a “date”.
Vice officers set up an Internet sting, arresting three men who sought the services of an undercover officer posing as an escort at a local hotel.
The men offered the “escort” anywhere from $40 to $200, depending on the services they desired.
The vice officers took out an ad advertising the “escort’s” services on BackPages.com and waited for the calls. One at a time, the “escort” bargained with the callers, agreeing to meet them at a local hotel.
Once at the hotel, the caller was directed to the hotel bar, met the “escort”, chatted her up and walked her to her room where the caller was greeted by vice detectives rather than the agreed upon services.
Two of the callers tried to tell detectives they were just there to get a massage. One admitted his wife likely would not approve of his getting such a massage. The third admitted he made “a bad decision.”
All three were hauled off to the Montgomery County Jail and later released. All three face possible misdemeanor soliciting charges when they make their initial court appearances. The cash the three were carrying was confiscated.
Which did not make for a good date night.
