Man, 65, convicted of purchasing sex in landmark prostitution case

[Good4u2]

for a start raids just don't happen, they are organised, they already have the information and warrants and we all know in 95% of cases it will be a brothel and although escorts will say they would not shop a client, in reality though most will if let off and left alone to work in peace and for their cooperation and really its business and anyway they owe the client no loyalty and can you really blame them. Its about surviving as long as possible by any means
If youre caught, youre on your own against all the rest here

A country of 60 million plus v 4 million.

Shut up.

Its got nothing to do with size
Its about proper implementation, Ireland just lazy fuckers really too

You could lose your job i would imagine. Would not be able to pay the mortgage on your house.

why u could loose your job? Paying for sex affect your abilities to do your work? I think his boss would be very stupid to believe this. Plus his private life is his private life is not related with job he do unless he is a judge or something, politician where reputation is ... I will not fire a man convicted for paying for sex ... but thats me

This was always on the cards once that law was passed , they would name and shame the first person caught and charged to make an example of them.
Wonder did the gards challenge him outside the app block as to what he was doing there , and he confessed? What do you do if you are in same position?? tell them to fook off and mind their own business , say you were visiting a friend /relative ?? Can you be charged if you dont admit to it ,?? Surely they would have to interview- which is never going to happen i know - escort to ask her if you payed for sex if you said no.

if you a member of moral standing in the community, it can make it untenable to keep your job, what about those doing Santa at Christmas or driving buses or taxis, basically you are now (stupid as it is) a sex offender and if you are convicted you will lose your job

If people want to pay for sex, I don't see it as a big deal.
Making it illegal to pay for sex has shown that it doesn't work and it is far less safer for the working girls, they are being attacked, robbed and abused even more than ever.
Proof has been shown in the countries that had adopted the Nordic law years ago, crime rates against working girls have gone up and we have seen it in Ireland.

I feel sorry for this guy who has been done and think that the charges should be drop with a public apology to be given for naming him and for posting his address.
If he was a pedo, then understandable, but the guy did nothing wrong, he just paid for having sex.

I see no mention of a legal representative, so my guess is the guy made a statement admitting everything and pleaded guilty. Garda advice was probably not to fight it and it might slip through court quietly without publicity. So much for that. Perfect undefended case to set a precedent for a shite law.
What has this guy done that deserves such publicity when the greatest scandals of church and state are hushed up?

huh, as an ex employee to Court House working in Justice Department in my country i tell u : never admit anything. They will use lies to catch u , they are good in dealing with your brain , they where trained for this to make u to confess but no , let them work to prove .... like i said is not what u know, is what u can prove... and proving money was handed for sexual services is very hard to prove. Just dont admit. I have visited the escort as i was curious to see her how she look, i thought iis my niece, she looked like, i wanted to be sure didnt paid , didnt stay , she said i paid? (usually they say :''but she admitted u paid her ''which usually is a lie to make u to confess) , she said i paid her?Nope, i didnt , is a lie.i didnt gave her anything . Period. lets them work their asses to prove . Probabily they lied to him if he admit he paid will not be publicity and he will be just fined, or who knows what else

Its clear Floki this Ruhama and other feminist organizations didnt want the law to protect the escorts, but because 'is not acceptable to pay for sex' is a moral issue thats it, her words just proved what we already knew... is not about trafficking is about ;is not acceptable' shit. If was about trafficking Ruhama will come and say we happy girls are safe the gang was arrested not is not acceptable to pay or sex... so their No1 enemy are guys who visit prostitutes not the pimps.

you forget about deals being done beforehand here to make cases stronger and if escorts getting to stay out of jail, keep their 15,000 euro earnings to give a statement to convict basically in her eyes a nobody, then its a no brainer really, lets be realistic here, they as i've said owe the clients no loyalty anyway and money talks the loudest and you make nothing behind bars
