A recent case, has a San Diego attorney pleading guilty which will probably lead to prison time and potential loss of bar license. I hope this case causes people to think twice about the nature of these websites and how vulnerable young women can be lured to them.
Professionals especially should be very careful since they are held to a higher level of conduct. This case did not involve an agent posing as a young woman but an actual minor female who claimed to be 18 year's old but was still in high school.
On October 30, , San Diego attorney William David Turley plead guilty in federal court to enticing and coercing a female to engage in prostitution in violation of 18 U. According to his plea agreement, on or about April 30, , Mr. Turley began communicating with an adult female victim whom he met on the website sugardaddymeet. Turley would provide the victim with financial support and the victim would provide companionship for and engage in sexual acts with Mr. On or about May 3, , Mr. Turley persuaded, induced, and enticed the victim to take a flight from a city in California to Las Vegas, Nevada to meet with him.
At the time the victim boarded the flight in California, she understood that she was traveling to Las Vegas to engage in sexual acts with Mr. Turley in exchange for monetary compensation. In Las Vegas, Mr. Turley and the victim engaged in sexual intercourse. The plea agreement also states that on or about May 12, , Mr.
Turley began communicating with the female victim via sugardaddymeet. In conversations with the minor victim, they discussed that she was 18 years old. But he was aware that she was a high school student, that she could not meet on weekends because she was grounded, and that her parents had taken her cellphone away due to poor performance in school.
