94 Year Old Man Entrapped In Prostitution Sting

George Carlin said it best when he said "Fucking is legal. Giving someone money is legal. But giving someone sex for money is illegal. Makes no sense."...

It is just another way to control people. Especially women. How dare a woman want to make a decision about her body! For God sake, we could never have that!

And these poor Johns. All they want is a little action because they can't find a willing friend. So we penalize guys for not having more girlfriends who are sluts?

If you are a Governor or Senator or even a Prosecutor in a major city, you can be involved with prostitution ring and never see a day in jail. They say that is between that person and his wife and it is a private matter. But if you just a regular Joe who can't pay 4 grand for one night with a prostitute like Spitzer, then you end up in jail.

Here is your tax dollars at work....arresting old people for prostitution, arresting homeless people for not having a home and what ever new crimes they can come up with to just keep people down.

BRADENTON - A 94-year-old man whose arrest in a prostitution sting here caused an international buzz will not be prosecuted. A judge ruled Tuesday that Frank Milio was a victim of entrapment.

Milio, who has dementia, was unable to get into a care facility while his case was pending.

The undercover Manatee County Sheriff's Office detective on the street corner that afternoon in November took 30 steps to go chat with Milio, who authorities say had honked his car horn at the woman to get her attention.

Milio, who turned 94 this month, stopped his car in a parking lot about 60 feet away from the woman, who was standing in an area where authorities regularly set up stings to nab johns. Milio did not flash his lights or say anything to lure the woman over. The woman opened his passenger side door and leaned inside. "Do you want to party tonight?" the woman asked Milio, who replied that he wanted to think about it for another 15 to 20 minutes. The officer asked about money. She asked whether Milio wanted sex. Milio replied: "Huh?" Milio eventually offered to pay for oral sex.

Manatee County Judge George K. Brown Jr. weighed in Tuesday, tossing the misdemeanor case, in a six-page order that questions the extent to which the detective controlled the nature and direction of the sexual conversation.

"This particular 93-year-old man was encouraged and/or enticed to proceed with the police officer's direction of conversation," Brown wrote.

The judge's order, however, says the sequence of actions and conversation by the undercover officer "carried with it a substantial risk" that Milio would commit a crime.

After Milio's arrest, prosecutors declined to file a charge against another elderly Bradenton man accused in a solicitation sting in Bradenton -- his second charge in 20 years.

That 93-year-old man promised to return several hours later with $30 to seal the deal. A prosecutor said the state was unable to prove the man intended to return.

The pending charge against Milio blocked him from getting into an assisted living facility, Grieco said. That now may change.
