"Grandpa! What are you doing?"

from the AP newswire:

NEW CASTLE, Pa. - Police charged a 19-year-old woman with selling sexual favors to two elderly men for $4 and $6 each. Stacy L. Kendall, 71-year-old William R. Claypool and 83-year-old Carmen A. Nocera were arrested just outside New Castle on Friday.

Claypool paid Kendall $4 for a sexual favor and Nocera paid $6, police said.

Shenango Township police Chief Allan Nocera said the arrests occurred during a police sweep of an area where residents recently had complained of drugs, sex trafficking and gunfire.

Police on Monday filed misdemeanor charges of prostitution and solicitation against all three defendants.

Kendall and Claypool didn't answer repeated calls to their homes. Carmen Nocera didn't immediately return a message left at his home.

Bad enough, right? But check the name of one defendant against the name of the chief of police, and try to imagine the scene...

Six bucks for a sexual favour? Where are these peoples' standards, man?

Six bucks should even buy you the right to a long, suggestive whistle.

Pikers.

Cost of living's low down there, I guess.

And of course, being late, my snarky comment has a critical typo in it...

SHOULDN'T buy the right to a whistle.

But I maintain, they are pikers. Six bucks. Feh.

Are you in Scotland?

*boggles* I'm shocked that the girl had such a low asking price...

But yeah, those last names have to make you wonder...it's not as if 'Nocera' is a common name. :/

"Dad, what in the hell were you thinking!" :-)

And I have to admit that $4 and $6 charges for "sexual favors" boggles the mind.

Maybe the old guys thought what they were getting for pocket change was sex.

I hate articles like this. I want to know the details of these 'sexual favors'. Yes, I realize that I'm alone here and no one in the world who read this article is the least bit curious as to what you could get for your money in New Castle, Penn.

This will effect the whole escort industry...

"What? Thirty Dollars! I can get that for sex bucks in Pennsylvania."
"Honey, this ain't Pennsylvania."

Do you think these guys have talked to each other?

"Gee, you were ripped of. She only charged me four dollars."
"She told me wearing the cowboy hat was two dollars more."
"She had a cowboy hat?"
"No. I brought my own."

I also think the reporters could have saved some time here. If a guy is charged with paying for sex, he will be unavailable for comment.

There's a web site that gives you the average cost of living in various parts of the country. This has got to affect those numbers...

"Honey, we should move to Pennsylvania. only cost six bucks! Gas is a dime less, too.

Maybe they had a coupon, or it was one of those deals where you get a discount on Sunday if you have a church bulletin.

Clearly the extra 2 bucks was danger pay. He's 12 years older than the other guy.

[thewordoffred.livejournal.com]

If it's a dollar for every six years, does that mean if they were the same age she'd be paying him?

[tanaise.livejournal.com]

Nah, I figure she just though there was a greater chance of him kicking the bucket during sex

I now need to know if Carmen's middle name is Allen.
