Pretrial Probation For Physician Charged With Sex For a Fee

On November 20, 2015 members of the Burlington, Massachusetts police vice squad conducted a reverse sting targeting customers of prostitutes. Officers enlisted the assistance of a local hotel where they secured two rooms. Then, using backpage.com a listing for an adult escort was placed. Just over an hour later a telephone call was placed by the defendant to the number listed on the backpage advertisement. After an exchange of texts the defendant arrived at the hotel and met with an undercover police officer posing as a prostitute. A brief negotiation followed. The undercover then released a pre-arranged signal and surveillance officers descended on the room and arrested the defendant. He was charged with sex for a fee in violation of G.L. c. 272 Section 53. Attorney Neyman was hired. Today, the day of arraignment, we were able to get pretrial probation for the defendant for a thirty day period. If he stays out of trouble for that period of time and completes some community service all charges will be dismissed before Christmas.
