Award Recipient. Early Termination and Expungement, Prostitution, Torrance. He was 43 and had two young daughters. He heard on the radio or read in the newspaper that one could sign up for text alerts about crimes in Torrance, so he did, as he was curious about what was happening where he lived.
One day, he received a text alert that the Torrance Police would be conducting a prostitution sting in Torrance. This sparked his curiosity. What happens in such a sting? What do undercover police officers look like? What do the decoys look like? So, he decided to go to the sting and so he searched online for the advertisement for sexual services in Torrance.
He found it at eroticmonkey. Our client found an online stock photo of a few hundred dollars laying on a table and sent it to her. She then gave him the address of the Extended Stay hotel on Carson Street in Torrance and told our client to meet him there. Our client drove there and looked around to see if there were police vans or undercover officers milling about.
He then walked into the hotel, curious to see people involved. He saw no one, so he made his stay at the Extended Stay short and walked back to his car to leave. As it turned out, he was being monitored closely and two plain clothes police officers stopped him as he got into his car to leave. The officers asked him if he had come to the hotel looking for a date with a woman who advertised herself online as JC Bae. Torrance Courthouse. Our client admitted this and quickly tried to explain how he just wanted to see a sting operation and had no intention of having sex with JC Bae.
