Area men caught in prostitution sting

Glad that the slime-balls were identified- hope you run their pictures!!

LOL...dudes paying for poon; LMAO...

Legalize it, tax it, and get health care for the workers.

This ridiculousness - of posting the names of men - ridiculous.

So the men pay for sex. As long as it is safe and consensual (and of course, legal age for those consenting), then WHAT harm does it do?

Figures kahula87 is 23 years old. If he was any older or had any sense he would realize that men ALWAYS pay for poon, whether through prostitution or marriage or any basic relationship.

I'm not sure that the phrase "included several men from the Washington area" is strictly accurate when it appears that actually all ten men arrested fit that description. Perhaps, "[T]he men arrested were from the Washington area." would have been more precise? Could the Post PLEASE re-hire some of their editors/proof-readers???

Because it is illegal and by the supposed Christian standards that this nation stand for, it is immoral too.

Half of the men have Hispanic names, but half the people in this area aren't Hispanic. What does that say?

What an infantile, stupid and unconstitutional waste of time and effort. We don't have enough problems so we spend time and money putting people in jail for violating another Christian religious taboo?
I want my tax money back.

ummm, unconstitutional?

You know, since prostitution is legal in Canada, in England, in the Netherlands, in France, in Germany, etc, we ought to be talking a serious look at why the heck it is illegal here.

Regulated? Sure. Kept off the streets? Absolutely! But made go-to-jail illegal? That's just silly.

Publish the name and picture of the cop who was posing as a hooker. The public deserves to know when they are being set up.

Now, where am I gonna go to get some?

Immigrants who came to do jobs that Americans won't do -- pay prostitutes for sex.

While I think prostitution should be legalized, regulated, and therefore made safe so there are no victims...it is currently illegal. So the pimps should be arrested and tried. Because there are pimps there ARE victims! (And just because I think it should be legalized don't think I consider it an admirable profession. Guys who get their kicks out of this situation might not be so interested in it once the "danger" has been removed.)

Moral and religious ethics.
If jurisdictions can pass gay marriage laws, then one of the oldest professions SHOULD be made legal.

Gay marriage, and legalized/controlled prostitution should both be a 'JOINT' bill for legalization. If one passes, so does the other. If recognized by another state, then prostitution recognized as legal also.

Why do men have to pay for sex? There are many women willing to give it away for free. They might be fat and look like trolls. LOL

Prostitution did not become illegal until the early 1900's when the religious zealots started pushing their views on others, as they continue today. One person's religion is another's belly laugh!

From Wikipedia: Originally, prostitution was widely legal in the United States. Prostitution was made illegal in almost all states between 1910 and 1915 largely due to the influence of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union which was influential in the banning of drug use and was a major force in the prohibition of alcohol. In 1917 the legally defined prostitution district Storyville in New Orleans was closed down by the Federal government over local objections. In Deadwood, SD, prostitution, while technically illegal, was tolerated by local residents and officials for decades until the last madam was brought down by state and federal authorities for tax evasion in 1980. Prostitution remained legal in Alaska until 1953 (though not yet a US state), and is still legal in some rural counties of Nevada (see Prostitution in Nevada).
