Charges of Sex For a Fee Dismissed After Clerk Magistrate Hearing

The defendant is a professor at a prestigious university. On April 20, 2017 members of the Braintree, Massachusetts police department were conducting a surveillance operation at a local hotel. They had information that one of the rooms was being used by a male prostitute and that he was servicing dozens of local men over a period of days. One such man was approached by officers as he left the hotel. He was questioned and quickly admitted to engaging in these activities with the prostitute. The man identified the prostitute and the room. Officers then went to the room, were permitted to enter and found the defendant in the room with the prostitute. Both admitted to engaging in sexual acts for money. The defendant was then summonsed for a clerk magistrate hearing charging him with sex for a fee, G.L. c. 272 Section 53A. Attorney Neyman represented the defendant at the hearing and was able to get the charges dismissed. No complaint will issue.
