Central Scrutinizer Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 COLUMBUS, Ohio â?? Columbus police have arrested a man they say was responsible for a Web site where customers could post reviews of prostitutes. Robert Eric McFadden is accused of trading information about online escorts and prostitutes who worked the streets, including a 17-year-old girl. Police say he also helped organize a $10-a-ticket raffle that offered an evening with a prostitute. The 46-year-old McFadden was arrested Wednesday and faces numerous charges, including compelling prostitution involving a minor. No attorney for McFadden was listed with the Franklin County Jail. McFadden formerly served as director of the Faith-Based and Community Initiatives office under Gov. Ted Strickland. He was transferred to a job with the state prisons department in 2007 and laid off in March 2008 due to budget cuts. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,480065,00.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flashermac Posted January 18, 2009 Report Share Posted January 18, 2009 "Prostitution Free Zone" During Inauguration WASHINGTON, DC (WUSA) -- District police have placed signs along 5th and I Streets. They read, "Warning, Prostitution Free Zone." Those who disobey could be fined 300 dollars, and even jailed. But will the city's plan work? DC City Councilman Jim Graham said officers cannot enforce loitering laws, which is the reason for these signs. "Because this is focused, its limited in time, its aimed at a very specific issue, if you don't move along, well put you in the car," he said. John Thompson lives in the neighborhood, and he said prostitution is a major problem. He hopes the signs make a difference, but what will visitors think? "I'm not concerned with what visitors think. I'm concerned about the problem that exists," Thompson said. A woman who calls herself Tamira and advertises her services on Craigslist, said otherwise. She said prostitutes who work the streets may ignore the signs. However, she said, some prostitutes may move elsewhere. "If I saw a sign that said, 'Prostitution Free Zone' I would feel a little uncomfortable that there would be a house next store where police are at," she said. Tamira also believes some visitors will come to the inauguration for legitimate business, but prostitute on the side to make extra money.
