Tampa Escorts In The News!

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.

Woman accused of soliciting Dade City police officer for prostitution
By Alex Orlando, Times Staff WriterAlex OrlandoTampa Bay Times In Print: Thursday, January 26, 2012
DADE CITY — The attire gave every indication that this was a lawman.
Pasco Sheriff’s Deputy Kip Mello wore a star on his shirt, a gold badge on his belt next to a handgun and Taser.
He held a police radio in his hand.
None of this seemed to deter Laquila Monique Courtney.
On the corner of Porter Road and Bowman Street in Dade City, she leaned in the window of Mello’s car and offered him oral sex for $20, the deputy reported.
Mello told her he didn’t have the money and would have to go to an ATM. He returned 20 minutes later and she was still there.
…
She remained in the Land O’Lakes jail on Wednesday, charged with solicitation of prostitution and possession of paraphernalia.

… Andrews) actually said, ‘I didn’t know Mr. Abrahamsen. I killed Mr. Abrahamsen. It was a terrible thing I did. I will never be able to live with myself,’” Halkitis said Andrews told the courtroom Wednesday. Loved ones of Abrahamsen were present for Andrews’ appearance. Andrews apologized to them.
“You should rot in hell,” a relative told Andrews, according to Halkitis. “You shouldn’t breathe the same air we breathe.”
Abrahamsen was found dead in May 2010 on a massage table in his house in New Port Richey. The 41-year-old biker and tattoo parlor owner had been stabbed and bludgeoned after hosting a sex party at his house the night before, authorities said.
Detectives say his killers were Amanda Logue, a then-28-year-old hired as a prostitute for the party, and Andrews, a DJ and adult film actor. Court records say the two exchanged a flurry of text messages leading up to the attack:

Other residents gathered at 300 East also complained to the officers about other nearby drug dens, speeding ATV riders, and gang fights.
Roll call leader Sgt. Chris Ugles took notes and relayed complaints to the appropriate officer gathered around him, depending on neighborhood location. He pledged delegation, follow-ups and action to the residents.
“This is your community,” he told them. “We appreciate having you as our eyes and ears.”
Neighborhood roll calls are coordinated between police and residents and held at local businesses and homes to increase crime awareness and deter criminal activity in higher crime areas.
Ugles also used the occasion to announced the police department’s new Prostitution Exclusion Zone, or PEZ corridor, which makes it easier for cops to charge repeat offender prostitutes with felony violation of probation within the zone. Ugles said the PEZ boundaries stretch from Fowler to Seventh avenues, and Nebraska Avenue to 15

Mailbag: Rick Scott, Debbie Wasserman Schultz and Tampa strip clubs
…
“The reality is there is really nothing to account for Tampa’s pretty extraordinary ranking of third nationally in number of strip clubs per capita. It’s not a big city, and it’s not a big convention magnet. I have lived in Miami, and few people can name or locate even one strip club there. They are invisible. But people all over the country can name at least one or more Tampa strip clubs. They seem to be everywhere. So why are there so many? Perhaps that’s a different story than whether or not it is the ‘capital.’ Its new title should perhaps be ‘Strip Club Mecca.’”
…
“I have heard frequently that Tampa’s lax enforcement of rules intended to prohibit ‘lap dancing’ or ‘friction dancing’ — the ’six foot rule’ famously supported by Bob Buckhorn when he was on the City Council — is not the norm.  I have no way to learn whether this is true, but …

Joshua Fletcher, 34, of Valrico, appeared in court Jan. 18 on two misdemeanor counts of interference of privacy.
Fletcher was charged Jan. 18 after someone complained to police that he was holding what appeared to be a book with a hole in it with a camera or cell phone behind the book in a restroom at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport.
According to the StarTribune, airport police approached Fletcher outside the restroom and recovered his cellphone, which contained multiple videos of men urinating in public restrooms. A search of a trash bin nearby revealed an address book with a hole in it and a digital camera.
The incident occurred in the same restroom where former U.S. Sen. Larry Craig, R-Idaho, was arrested in June 2007 for allegedly soliciting sex from an undercover police officer.
