NOT CHARGED | SOLICITATION OF PROSTITUTION – State v. Mr. C. (DMC No. 10243) (Phoenix PD Investigated): Mr. C. was flagged down by an undercover female Police Officer posing as a prostitute. When she met with him, she was wired to record everything. She was the first one to mention a sex act and money. After Mr. C. agreed, Officers pulled him over, arrested him and impound his car. Even though he had been cited, we became involved and got his car back quickly. In addition, we contacted the City of Phoenix Prosecutors Office and pointed out the flaws in their case regarding potential entrapment (per their charging policy, the defendant is always to mention the sex and money first). They agreed, and did not follow through with charging Mr. C. They routed it back for further investigation, however the 1 year statute of limitations ran and no charges were ever brought against Mr. C.
