Pimping Near Police Station a Bad Idea
By Associated Press
Wed Feb 1, 8:26 PM

MARTINEZ, Calif. - A married couple pleaded no contest to charges they ran a brothel across the street from a Concord police station, Contra Costa County authorities said. Debra Watts, 52, will serve one year of home detention after pleading to three felony counts of pimping and pandering, prosecutor Jose Marin said Monday.

Her husband, Ernest Watts, 63, pleaded to one misdemeanor count of maintaining a house of prostitution, Marin said.

Investigators said the couple ran the brothel for a year in an apartment located a few hundred feet from the Concord police station and used the Internet to solicit clients.

Police raided the apartment in January of 2005, six months after an informant tipped them off in exchange for leniency in a pending fraud case, according to a search warrant affidavit.

Surveillance of the apartment revealed a Monday-through-Friday operation in which women would arrive by 10 a.m. and leave by 7 p.m. Men would enter and leave throughout the day, staying for about 30 minutes at a time, according to the affidavit.

The women charged $160 for every half-hour and Debra Watts would take half, according to the affidavit.

A third defendant, Michelle Secrist, 22, of Vacaville, pleaded no contest to one misdemeanor count of prostitution.

The couple, who lived in Fairfield but recently moved to Las Vegas, will be prohibited from working in any business related to prostitution as part of their probation.

So, I suppose they had to have time for a drink. Or two. Maybe a few. And then there's the financial dealings. Perhaps a smoke afterwards. Maybe time to read the newspaper. Blimey, half an hour  :scratch:

I ask myself - she'd take half of what?

I don't know why they don't just get on and legalise it :scratch:  The Dutch system of prostitution management seems to work very well - knocks most of the iffy characters out of the equation, health checks to make sure the girls are clean, etc., etc.  Prohibition is never the answer with things like drugs, and prostitution.  It didn't work with alcohol in 1920s America - all it did was strengthen organised crime.
Planning is an unnatural process - it is much more fun to do something.  The nicest thing about not planning is that failure comes as a complete surprise, rather than being preceded by a period of worry and depression. [Sir John Harvey-Jones]

In porn films, when the male star loses his stiffie, they have a "fluffer" (an expert at fellatio) on the set--to get him back up again.  :bleh:

b]A Life's Work: This Job Sucks[/b]
by Grant Stoddard
What goes up must come down: it's an adage equally applicable to Sir Isaac Newton's theory of gravity, Gwyneth Paltrow's career and hardcore pornography. According to Silicone Valley legend, a "fluffer" is the person on a smut set who uses his or her oral skills to keep thespians in the mood to emote. But trying to track one down proved nearly impossible. According to the skin traders I spoke with, the professional fluffer is a media-perpetrated myth. Thankfully, my wild goose chase around the San Fernando Valley came to fruition in the voluptuous shape of Hunter Skott (pictured above), an adult performer and dancer who is frequently called to improve morale among the droops. ..

It's always good to have something in mind for the next time you're asked what you want for your birthday, or Christmas :D
