Can a cop use a fake telephone conversation as evidence for prostitution in Texas?
On October 20, 2008 I had a undercover cop come to my house. He called me earlier that day and asked for an appointment. I do erotic body rubs for men. There was no more said on the phone because I assumed he got my phone number from the ad. This happened to be on a quiet Sunday afternoon around 3:00PM. I’ve been accepting clients between 3-6PM for a few months. I started this part time several months earlier to make enough money to pay off credit cards which it has done that for me. When the police officer came in my house, I asked him what his occupation was and he told me he did construction work traveling from San Antonio to Austin in installing underground cables. He acted very nervous and said he had some eyeglasses that broke so he had an upset stomach. He gave me 0 which I did put in my pocket and I gave him a rubdown with lotion on his back and legs for thirty minutes. Then he got a call on his cell phone and said he had to go outside to get some medicine for his stomach. I heard some noise at the front door so I got my clothes on over the lingerie I was wearing. When I got to the front door, a Travis County officer said I was under arrest for prostitution and handcuffed me. There was no mention what so ever between the undercover officer about paying me money for sex. Now if this was an arrest for prostitution, shouldn’t there have been a conversation about money for sex? In fact, the officer brought several officers from the SWAT team since he assumed that I was dealing drugs and had fire arms. He also did an illegal search of my house for those and found none. This happened because of a call from a neighbor lady complaining of “traffic” in front of my house on several Sunday afternoons. There was nothing about money for sex on his report, but he lied about recording a phone conversation with me saying I said I would satisfy him sexually with my hand and mouth ( a big lie). There was also nothing in his report saying I wanted money for that over the phone. My attorney is having trouble getting the fake phone conversation to listen to because they have it in a DVD format and only have a CD player which won’t play it.
I was wearing lingerie. I asked him to pay me for the rubdown and there wasn’t any mention about sex although he was nude.
