And when did consenting sex become a matter of morals?

Poor bastid having his name and address published like that

A wake up call to everyone.

As far as I know from what I’ve read on here, there are a few other cases pending as well, awaiting decisions from the DPP whether or not to proceed with prosecutions.

Looks like the law is starting to be implemented....

Agree GLA, it is a wake up call to everyone. My guess and opinion lot of people are reporting in possible neighbours, to which I say more raid will happen now in future.

Probably the police are been push by higher power to act and implement this law. For clients and even Ladies discretion is even more important now for both welfare and safety to !

Nah I reckon it's the premises being targeted, and if you are in it at the time, tough luck. It has to be so easy to spot a brothel, especially in small towns and villages

Agree HookHer and it people who doing reporting is attracting the attention of the police to them location.

But if people are reporting because of criminal gang like pimps etc. Then I have no pity for pimps, only for the Ladies who get caught up in the raid. They are the ones who are the real victims on it, alongside the person who in wrong place at that time.

But it the Ladies and the clients who victims in this law, not pimps or criminal gangs.

So why does the law not target the real criminal like the pimps, and let the Ladies make a living on a business she consent to.

So a Lady consenting to sex in exchange of money, is it not the same as girlfriend or wife consenting to sex to her partner. They both like money and wife and girlfriend want credit card and cash to spoil herself.

So my opinion the law need to rethink the rules and implement that two Ladies sharing or independent Escort should be able to chose to consent to sex without fear of being arrested if a raid happen.

By all mean if a pimp involved and can be proven, then charges should be implemented by the law !
This law favour the pimps and criminal gang, as clients will be afraid to report in fear of being charge themselves.

Maybe my long chat at the start is good thing now, as if they follow me I still got my clothes on 1 hour in the meeting and so does the Lady in lingerie or dress.

Can say then no sexual activity too place, as I paying for time n companionship Only problem they might want to take up the rest of my time and kick me out

Because who couldn't resist a beautiful Lady in dress or lingerie and only want to chat first over a glass of prosecco in her company Hmmmm !

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


https://www.breakingnews.ie/ireland/...se-899086.html

A man has been convicted of purchasing sex, in what is the first conviction under new prostitution laws introduced in April 2017.
***** *****, aged 65, with an address at Moatlands, Rathoath, Co Meath, was fined €200 in relation to the purchase of sexual services at West End Village, Blanchardstown, west Dublin on 30 March 2018.
It is the first conviction under Section 25 of the Criminal Law (Sexual Offences) Act 2017, which was enacted on April 3, 2017 after being signed into law by then justice minister Frances Fitzgerald.


Mr ***** was charged with paying, giving, offering or promising to pay or give money or any other form of remuneration or consideration for the purpose of engaging in sexual activity with a prostitute.
The case, which appeared before Dublin District Court this morning, followed an investigation by specialist officers attached to Operation Quest, based within the Garda National Protective Services Bureau (GNPSB).
The Oireachtas Justice Committee recommended the new offence in a report it published in June 2013.


As reported by the Irish Examiner last November, the DPP ordered the first prosecution under the act after receiving a file from the GNPSB.
Section 25 of the 2017 Act amended the provisions of Section 7A of the Criminal Law (Sexual Offences) Act 1993.
Ruhama, which works with women affected by prostitution and sex trafficking, welcomed the conviction.

“This case sends a clear message to Irish society that it is not acceptable to pay for access to another person’s body for sexual gratification,” said Ruhama CEO Sarah Benson.


“Sex buyers have been operating with impunity in Ireland for far too long, and we are hopeful that more convictions will be achieved under this legislation in future.
“Evidence has shown that tackling ‘demand’ is a key mechanism for preventing the sexual exploitation of the most vulnerable in our society. While the sex trade continues to thrive due to buyer’s demand, the criminal gangs running it are profiting.”

'' is not acceptable to pay for access to another person’s body'' who the F**K are you Ruhama to tell us what is acceptable and what is not? WHo the F**K are you to tell me what i should do and what i should NOT do with MY body. I use a part of my body plus brain to earn money like others use hands , eyes, and other parts of their bodies to earn their living. Just because i chose to use a more ''delicate'' part of my body to pay my bills not means u have the right to tell me that one is forbidden to be used. What bunch of idiot women this Ruhama. F'''king bitches

If that poor gentleman that was named is on a this forum I would appreciate his story of what happened.
I feel sorry for him being named and hope he gets over it , it could have been any of us

[FetishCherry]

I wonder what age was she. How did he get caught. What had the cops got on him. Why did he admit to it. 200 euro is not a detterent. It's one hour.

He has his own little place now in Irelands history. He is most likely a bit of a hero in his local pub.

Probably a fake profile with an undercover Garda posing as escort. This is the way to prove payment took place for sexual services . At list in Sweden this was the way they catched the guys. Few days ago a regular client of mine in Belfast told me how few weeks ago he was visiting an escort in a very popular area very well known for escorts working there and when he came outside a Police guy stopped him asking what he was doing tin the building. He said he was visiting his friend. Then police told him @ many burglaries in this building so can u give us the name of your friend and phone number to can confirm u visited him?'' my client panicked and said : '' no, i forgot his name' .. the Police looked at him shocked :'' u forgot your friend name?'' and he said :'' yes sorry , i forgot '' then Police guy told him ;'' right , there are many sluts here , just to be warned' and let him go. If i were him i would say sorry but my friend is married and his wife dont know he is bisexual. i cant give his name

You understand the difference in having morals or not, I know you're not stupid from your posts.

Anyway, what's better, sex with a woman or sex with a teenager

Maybe I’m missing something here but I didn’t see the escorts age mentioned in the report.

[FetishCherry]

If the cops give a shit about catching people, all they have to do is make an appointment and not follow through after they get the address, now they know the apartment is active. So hang about it all day and catch people. But it can't be that simple. Because you're only buying time and companionship. It's not illegal to buy time.
I have no idea how that fool was caught.

Might be bad for my business but i cant stop myself to replay to this. Gardi from Store Street knows where my place is as i had a visit 3 years ago when they visited all girls in North area(they said) to make sure we are not trafficked , forced to do this job. As well i rang them when i had problems with a client so if they will want they can easily catch guys as i,m sure they know all the apartments and places for work . Until now not even one of my clients was sent in court so i would say is something more n this stories with guys catched to pay for sex. Is not what u know is what u can prove .. and proving is dificult unless the escort is Garda undercover.. I think is called entrapment this?

Tough situation that client was put in and thankfully he didn't give any names for the Lady sake. He was lucky they didn't follow him up on it. But it seem, maybe they watching the area and have a bigger situation in mind. To them they didn't see him as a threat. Who know what their intention was and why they where in area. Lucky gent he is !
