Prostitution 101: Johns, Bring Cash
Austin Police Officer Scott Lando, 45, is under investigation for having sex with a prostitute more than once while on duty in 2006. According to a search warrant affidavit posted on KXAN.com, Lando is accused of paying a prostitute named Denise to have sex on more than one occasion in 2006. “Denise” apparently accepted Cash, Check or Couture for payment; she is claiming that Lando offered up some of his wife’s clothing in exchange for sex.
Lando’s attorney Travis Williams says his client is “totally innocent” and that he was just trying to set a good example for the rookie officer he was training by showing him that giving away your lady’s threads to a hooker helping out people in need is just part of the gig. Williams also speculates that the reason Denise is able to describe Lando’s house in full detail is because she is a “serial burglar” and broke into his home in Cedar Park to rob the place.
Austin Police Chief Art Acevedo says a thorough investigation is underway and that Lando will remain on paid leave until the investigation is complete.
A 17-year-old upstanding young man boy from Williamson County also learned the valuable lesson of “cash only” recently when he answered an ad on everyone’s favorite online classifieds list. While his parents were out of town, the boy-that-shall-not-be-named answered an ad posted on Craiglist for an escort and arranged to meet Lindsey Force, 25, at his house. Though it is still “unclear what took place”, Force apparently felt she deserved more money for whatever activities may or may not have occurred.
The next day, the boy was greeted by Force, her pimp security and her drug bosses (two of whom are aptly named Jina Bender and Bethie Coker.) The boy freaked and called Williamson County’s finest to report a burglary. That is when authorities learned that getting a hooker on the mean streets of WilCo is as easy as ordering pizza and set up a sting operation. A few hours later, the Williamson County Sheriff's department had made six arrests in the case and told the boy not to be such a cheap ass.
