About a dozen women arrested over the weekend in a Honolulu prostitution sting at massage parlors won't be charged with prostitution. Instead, they face the more severe charge of sex assault.

If convicted, the women would have to register as sex offenders and could spend up to a year in jail, while a prostitution charge carries just 30 days....

Hawaii has a strange history with prostitution investigations. Until a year ago, police officers were legally allowed to have sex with prostitutes as part of investigations, an unusual policy that state lawmakers changed last year after The Associated Press highlighted the law....

To be a cop in Hawaii in the good old days

The standard way police investigate prostitution is to engage in a conversation to agree on a sex act and a price, said Kenneth Franzblau, former anti-trafficking director with the New York State Division of Criminal Justice Services. If that doesn't happen, there's no arrest....

In at least one instance at a massage parlor called Orchid Relaxtion, Breiner said, an officer disrobed, took the woman's hand and put it on his genitals....

The sex assault charges don't require the proof of a plan for money to be exchanged — just evidence the woman touched someone's genitals without consent.

I beg to differ...the stank of federal careerists and federal tax dollars is all over this sliver of American life...

In the past 45 years we have become, as Hunter S. Thompson called it in his autobiography Kingdom of Fear, a nation of jailers.

The saddest part is most young people are like the boiled frog...they haven't the foggiest notion of how much liberty we've relinquished to government and remain confused over the distinction between liberty and license.

As for a sexual assault charge, my question to you much smarter ppl, how does that work if the alleged victim (cop) initiated the sexual contact by placing the lady's hand on his dick??

I was wondering that myself, sounds like entrapment. Maybe the cop was just used to doing things the old way.

An average attorney should be able to beat the charges.

Not quite, indentured servants had to WORK ... they were just above slaves. Guests of the state do not have to work.

That sure sounds like "consent" under every definition I've ever heard, but I'm just a humble lawyer.

I'm in the checkout line at Randalls. There is a cute milf working the quick lane. Let me place her hand on my junk and see where that gets me.
