FORT WRIGHT, Ky. — Police in northern Kentucky arrested a woman who officers say traded sex for gasoline.
Police in Fort Wright set up a prostitution sting and said one of the suspects they arrested engaged in sex for a $100 gasoline card and other gifts.
Angela Eversole, 34, of Fort Wright is charged with prostitution and doing business without an occupational license. She pleaded not guilty at a Tuesday arraignment.
Police also arrested a man they said paid Eversole. He is 50-year-old Kenneth Nowak of Avon, Indiana.

regular or premium?

Bartering is out now? Passe? No more haggling for deals? Maybe just in Kentucky.

it’s hard out there for a pimp.
Pumping Ethel?
The look related.
What leg (no pun intended) does the government really have to stand on when going after this kind of act anymore? If it is between two consenting adults, who cares.
“doing business without an occupational license”
?
just like sports betting. they lose a cut of the tax. nothing makes uncle sam madder.
doing business without an occupational license?
Pretty high mileage for a 34 yo woman....
The latter charge probably carries a large fine.
You too could be in jail for, "promoting prostitution".
All acts are sick in my opinion but there is no difference between them.
Maybe that’s why the need for her own gas card!
New meaning to the expression “fill her up”.
Sort of like how they will bust drug dealers with tax evasion and failure to report income. It gives the DA leverage in forcing a plea deal and saves the courts time and money.
Wow, didn't know that was an available license! I guess prostitution is now legal since the State can prosecute you for not being registered with the state when practicing a profession...
But more importantly, I'm always kind of surprised about these. If they had a one-night-stand casual hook-up, and then he gave her the gas card as a gift, no problem. WTF?
I think in her case she just needs to be topped off.
So is there an option for a hooker to get an occupational license in Kentucky? If they can fine her for it, it only stands to reason she could have been legal from a paperwork perspective.
But Honey, I CAN’T buy you flowers anymore. It’s against the law!
I'll bet you waited 50 years to be able to use that punchline.
I know. This is just stupid. If he had taken her out to dinner and bought her a gold bracelet which she later pawned for gas money, what difference would it have been?
And it took a police sting operation to catch these two arch criminals? What a complete waste of law enforcement resources.
How’s this any diffrent than paying for a crappy chick flick and an overrpriced french dinner?
Like I said, it is a trumped up charge. She may have an out here as only material items were given in exchange for sex, not money. To be quite honest I think prostitution laws are dumb. I can see not wanting to have these women hang around street corners and such. Just force them into bars or clubs and the problem will be solved. Also it seems craigslist has become the hightech way to pimp yourself out.
I agree that prostitution should be legalized. It was legal until the Womens Christian Temperance Union got its way after WWI, along with Prohibition. Those Christian women are to blame for all kinds of crime and misery.
You don’t have to wake up, look at her face and say WTF was I thinking.
since no cash was involved, I think you have a point.
maybe Shmucky Schumer should offer his services to the Saudis rather than threatening suing.
At least 50 years, maybe more. Heheheh. Well worth the wait, too!
I heard she had a tatoo on her butt that said...’Please pay before pumping’
It all comes down to money. If the government can get a cut of the profits they are all happy about it. But hookers and pimps don’t keep good financial records.
Put a bow around your money.
Having sex after a date is sick?
ROFLMAO!!!!
And I bet you don’t need to fill her up with premium, bust regular 89 octane will do.
With the pic on post 34, I say yes!
Neither do grocery stores, hair salons, restaurants, etc.
If prostitution were legalized, whores and pimps would pay taxes on their trade like other self employed cash-based businesses.
In Nevada, the legal brothels must pay good taxes. They could at least make fancy brothels legal, and leave the streetwalkers out in the cold.
The govt reaps huge fortunes from all kinds of other sin industries, like gambling and tobacco.
I saw the same thing and thought - What?
Heyyy...I was gonna post that!! ;^)
On the first date yes. With people my age, often you skip the date and just go for the sex. The idea of taking a woman out to dinner is foreign to males my age.
Please pay before pumping...
She was just drilling for oil. I wish congress would do the same thing.
Sure, but the licensing fees would be huge for a brothel. Not to mention the health care costs that would result. Can you imagine a union of prostitutes. The taxpayers would have to subsidize the industry for sure.
How much gas can I get, sonny?.....
