Prostitution Arrests

I love irony. That's why I was somewhat amused when I saw the story of this particular prostitution arrest in the Washington Post. A DC police officer was arrested last month and charged with soliciting an undercover police officer in an internet prostitution sting. Officer Robert A. Schmidt was accused of meeting a woman he thought was a prostitute by answering an ad on Craigslist. As a first offender he had the charges dropped after completing "john school" to learn the risks of prostitution.

While we are on the subject of prostitution, I had previously posted about the arrests of Mi Sook Yoo andHo Suk Kim, for prostitution in massage parlor raids. There were also three arrests in Fairfax, VA for committing prostitution in an illegal massage parlors. The women arrested in the latest raid do not have names quite as colorful as the previous two stories. The women charged in this case were Qi Yang, Jun Wang, and Main Chong.

Yes, I know that these are illegal activities, but don't the police have more important things to do with their resources than this? With all of the bad news going on everyday, why worry about somebody wanting to relieve a little stress?

Be Careful What You Name Your Kids

Jerry Seinfeld once said that if you name your kid Jeeves, you pretty much have laid out his career choice because he can't become anything other than a butler. Well consider the name of the lady pictured. Her name is Mi Sook Yoo. Mi Sook Yoo was recently arrested in a Colorado raid for running a massage parlor that was a front for prostitution. Miss Yoo was charged with pimping, keeping a place of prostitution, and pandering. If convicted, she could face up to 24 years in prison.
