Pretrial Probation For Accountant Charged With Sex For A Fee

On January 23, 2015 members of the Boston Police Department set up a sting operation targeting men looking to purchase sex over the internet. The operation consisted of an advertisement set up on backpage.com soliciting men looking for a good time. Through emails and texting the defendant and an undercover officer posing as a prostitute negotiated a sexual act, a price and a location to consummate the act. Once that was established officers set up surveillance. They observed the man enter the prearranged establishment and make contact with the undercover officer. A signal was given and all backup officers descended on the suspect and made an arrest. His cell phone was seized. From this device the police confirmed that this man had in fact been the person making contact with the undercover officer. A charges of sex for a fee was filed. Today, Attorney Neyman negotiated pretrial probation pursuant to G.L. c. 276 Section 87. The man will have no criminal record.
