Charging for time, not services

[Meursault]

Where there is a will there will always be a way... the devil will be in the fine print. You can not arrest a man for having a sex with a woman he met through a website like "Ashlymadison," so how can you prove that they met for financially solicited sex.

It will be hard to prove it.

thats it: meet a woman on a dating site and its ok. Make a porn video and its ok. Take away the camera and it becomes a crime.

Lighten up.
This putative "law"is not a law -yet.
It is not yet a bill.
Enjoy the next year.
And if you're single and free and easy and caught up in some future brouhaha/contretemps ,just say

Publish And Be Damned.

The "time and companionship" bit is surely a sort of (attempted) legal cop-out for the website/agency.

I can't imagine that anyone is anyway fooled by what it really means.

LVT is right in theory, but it doesn't work that way in practice.

Neither the Guards nor the DPP will take on someone rich enough to hire in big legal guns. Someone prepared to stand up in court and say "prove it". Not for these offences anyway. They will go after visiting women and local customers who they think they can pressurise into pleading guilty, certainly in small country towns.

It's a brave man who will stick to his guns for 8 or 12 hours in a room with detectives offering to "have a word with the judge and get you a suspended sentence if you plead guilty" versus making us do it the hard way. We'll make sure your wife finds out, you'll be in all the papers, you'll never see your kids again, you'll lose your house, we'll tell your boss, we'll get the Revenue to do a VAT audit of your company, we'll put you on the sex offenders register and on and on and on. The woman you went to see is going to admit you went there for sex so you might as well make it easy on yourself...

It's a brave and very tough woman who will sit there for 8 or 12 hours (possibly in a foreign country) while a big scary guard bangs the table and threatens to have her jailed, deported, child(ren) taken into care, home police force notified, stiff fine, name in the papers and on and on, while a friendly sympathetic female guard says "just testify against him, honey, and we'll get you a suspended sentence and a flight home, he doesn't care about you anyway and isn't your kid gorgeous..."

Because like I always say "what happens behind my doors, stay there regardless" It would only end up in such a situation in court because the guy grassed himself up and of course did not read my profile or adverts before making meeting which is clear "its my time he is in fact paying for not sex, and as some of us girls NEVER advertise the sale of sex just our time" so he may get a conviction for trying to buy sex but that would be down to his own stupidity not mine!

Another point is that the lady is not committing any offence.
Therefore would any sensible person go all the way to court and lie, while hoping the lady keeps quiet?

I wouldn't.
