15 Scottsdale Arrests Last Week

With all the media hype about getting rid of commercial sex in Arizona, Scottsdale jumped in again with 15 arrests on July 24-25. All from unknown hotel/s on E McDowell Road (and it seems 202) Many from out of town.

Arrests are all for BOTH escorting without a license AND Prostitution unless otherwise indicated:

Female age 34 from Las Vegas (only licensing not prostitution)
F - 24 from Scottsdale
F - 23 from Stockton CA
F - 21 from Lemon Grove CA
F - 19 from Albuquerque, NM
F - 32 Fresno CA
F - 20 Phoenix
MALE 23 - Phoenix
MALE 42 Phoenix - felonies; Pandering, receiving earnings from prostitution,

Transporting for prostitution. Could have been just a husband/boyfriend driver.

F- 21 Phoenix felonies; in addition to prostitution, Aggravated assault on officer and resisting arrest.
F- 22 Glendale
F -24 Tempe
F- 23 Stockton CA (not the same name as prior day from Stockton CA)
F -31 Phoenix (License only)
F -22 Portland OR
Easy bust from ads without escort license numbers (have yet to see one). Just arrest when show up for an appointment. Many visiting gals are probably unaware of the risks in Scottsdale (and other Phoenix area cities)

Most this time also busted for prostitution so they said the wrong thing over the phone, e-mail or maybe had bad words like GFE or worse in ads.

As in prior stings cell phones were probably taken but last time Scottsdale did not pretend to be the escort to do fake references or call customers found. However, other agencies have done this so Scottsdale might start also.

I have real names but have no idea what their Internet names are.

The BP HoTell row huh?
Thats not the part of Scottsdale any reputable ladies should be.

It is suspected the hotel was the 3 Palms. Not known if from BP or where, Scottsdale PD usually looks for more upscale ads all over. There have been $400/hr+ escorts caught in prior busts.

Sounds like some client screening lessons are in order again in town.

Screening is hard since LE has fake employment, references often from arrested other companions whose cell phone they take over.

Even worse is how to defend no escort license on ad, Scottsdale so far most aggressive on this if you list Scottsdale in ad and is criminal 15 days in jail.

No contact except arrest team needed if have GFE or other abbreviations on ads. They can find address info from host or otherwise find. We have had SWAT teams with assault rifles for just one indie person escorting without a license (Chandler one example of well known companion).

So screening has to be very careful and not foolproof. Most important don't list illegal services on ads and never discuss them by phone or e-mail or talk about rates. Rates should be clearly on ads for time and companionship or counseling. One should not discuss rates by phone or text since this is usually how they entrap those companions that are actually offering sex services - that is illegal and we never recommend.

Worse yet is if you have a driver, helper for phones, share money with a husband or boyfriend. This makes it pimping/sex trafficking/criminal enterprise felonies. Zillions of these felony cases now in Superior Court.

And now under new AZ law customers may face felony charges.

We have huge grants and large coalitions well funded to rid AZ of all commercial sex - with the under aged and sex trafficking hype and the "save them" and "victim" industries with $millions of funding. 90%+ of arrests are consenting adults that have nothing to do with the hype about victims and underaged.
