#1 Job: Pa. Informant Paid To Have Sex

Among the many fine services the government provides us, nothing can possibly beat its role in preventing consenting adults from exchanging money for goods and services. Frankly, I get upset when goods and services that offend my sensibility are sold, and the government thankfully stops it so I can spend all my time being berated in comments sections.

Of course, sometimes there are casualties in this war on consent, and so sometimes the cops have to pay for an informant to have sex with prostitutes four times. That’s what happened in Lehigh County, where a judge has dismissed the case against Cha Chon of the Shiatsu Spa due to a informant making $180 for the state to pay for him to have sex with people.

The informant went to the police after going to the spa and becoming “appalled” that he was offered sex. He then went to the cops and agreed to be paid money to go back there and collect evidence in the form of sex. Quite appalling!

He wore a wire and the police laughed and laughed at him on tape. District Attorney and Saints backup QB Jamie Martin is shocked at the judge’s decision: “The tactics that were used are the same tactics that are used in making a controlled buy of narcotics, the only difference being the commodity being purchased.”

The defendant’s lawyer managed to dig up similar cases in Florida and right here in Philadelphia. Is there a signup sheet somewhere to become one of these informants?
