His wife died, he's 77 years-old and widowed, what's the big frickin' deal?
So now being caught with a Prostitute is "being involved with a prostitution ring"?
No victim, no crime. If it is a personal arrangement with two people and sex trafficking isn't involved, then it shouldn't be a crime.
It is funny how, if he just picked up a young woman for a date, wined and dined her, maybe bought her a $2000 purse that she could flip the next day at a pawn shop, and happened to get some action, it would just be a 'date'.
Maybe they need to do like the Pachinko machines in Tokyo and not actually exchange money but tokens that you can take down the street and 'sell back'.
