Tampa Escorts: Tampa police announce new rule to fight prostitution

Friday, February 17th, 2012

Tampa police announce new rule to fight prostitution

The announcement comes on the heels of other efforts to fight prostitution and other illicit activity in the city.

It could make it easier for police to do something about a prostitution complaint.
Before, when someone reported an apparent prostitute was walking the street, officers couldn’t do much. To make an arrest, they had to witness a crime — such as a drug deal or exchange of money for sex. That’s why so many prostitution arrests are made through undercover operations.

Teddy S. Green, 31, of Tampa was arrested Nov. 30 at N Nebraska and E 19th avenues. Police officers found him with cocaine and in violation of his felony prostitution conviction. He was sentenced to 18 months in prison, according to the Florida Department of Corrections.

Tampa Escorts: New program cracking down on prostitution along Nebraska Ave. ‘zone’

Friday, February 17th, 2012

New program cracking down on prostitution along Nebraska Ave. ‘zone’ Officials said 10 people have been banned from the area since the program was started in Nov. 2011 and the number of arrests in the area are going down.

Prostitution has been a problem along the stretch of road for years. Tampa Police officials said one of their biggest challenges is keeping repeat offenders away.
On Thursday night, officials announced the creation of a new ‘Prostitution Enforcement Zone’ along Nebraska Ave. The new program will create additional penalties for those caught breaking the law in the zone.
Officials said the new zone will have stiffer penalties for those arrested for prostitution after three times. A part of a repeat offender’s probation after the third offense will be a ban from the zone completely.

Tampa Escorts: USF tops list of Fla. schools for ‘Sugar Babies’

Thursday, January 26th, 2012

Wade said he has more than 1 million registered users looking for a “mutually beneficial relationship”.
Wade said 40 percent of the Sugar Babies are college students. USF leads the state with 93 students enrolled last year and ranks 7th in the nation. Wade said USF has a total of 198 USF students signed up as “Sugar Babies”.
“Mostly because of the bad economy more and more people jumping into the sugar lifestyle. The membership on the website has gone up as the economy has tanked. Primarily people looking for an alternative way to support themselves put themselves through school,” explains Wade.
Gina said the concept of “Sugar Daddy” and “Sugar Baby” walks a fine line.
“This freaks me out. I think it’s a fine line between prostitution and maybe it’s not illegal but morally and ethically I think it’s wrong.”

Tampa Escorts: Cop, Preacher Nabbed In Cruising-Ground Sting in Tampa

Thursday, January 26th, 2012

Police in Florida are not having it when it comes to public sex. We recently reported on a massive operation involving the arrest of some 600 men in parks around Palm Beach. Now comes word that four men in the Tampa Bay area were arrested yesterday for soliciting sex in Peace River Park.
This wouldn’t have anything to do with the fact that the Republican National Convention will be in Tampa this summer, does it? Naaah.
If it did, it’d be pretty ironic considering some of the guys who were nabbed: Evangelical minister Matthew Preston Clark (right) and retired police officer Carl Robert Kitchen.
Why, it’s the very sort of people who enforce good wholesome traditional values!
We don’t think anyone should have the book thrown at them for a little public hanky panky, but the hypocrisy is so fresh you could smear it on a bagel.
