Our Own (Small Scale) Prostitute Scandal

We may not have any hilarious stories of hypocrisy and sex at the level of Eliot Spitzer, but don’t think consensual crimes haven’t corrupted those in the Keystone State.

Why, ex-Horsham police officer Thomas Crow has pled guilty to soliciting a hooker while in uniform and then trying to cover it up!

The charges stem from an incident last year when the 36-year-old Crow picked up a hooker while in uniform and then tried to cover it up by telling police he was investigating an escort for his brother-in-law.

Prosecutor Todd Stephens says he lied, destroyed some notes and tried to have other witnesses lie to police: “When you have a police officer falsely accusing people of crimes, I think that’s a serious charge and we have to aggressively prosecute that.”

That quote is so strange. Most people, I would hope, believe cops falsely accusing people of crimes is a pretty serious charge, not just this prosecutor. You know what? Don’t let me know if I’m wrong here.
