Complaint Charging Sex For a Fee Does Not Issue Following Clerk Magistrate Hearing
The defendant is a software engineer who is legally in this country but not a citizen. On September 30, 2016 he responded to a backpage.com advertisement soliciting customers for sexual activities for money. Unbeknownst to the man, the police had already responded to the add and quickly set up a sting operation using a female detective as a decoy. The defendant, replying to the listing by phone negotiated some sexual acts with the undercover. He went to a Woburn hotel, the agreed meeting location. He went up to the room, continued the negotiations and handed the decoy officer money for the service. Other officers then descended on the man, arrested him and charged him with sex for a fee under G.L. c. 272 Section 53. Attorney Neyman represented the man at a clerk magistrate hearing. No complaint issued.
