Why You Should Never Pay for Sex with a Credit Card

by Robert Koehler on May 26, 2009

Using a credit card at a, ahem, massage parlor is sort of like mailing yourself pot — it never amazes me how people keep on doing it.

Anyway, two civil servants in Gwangju have been busted for purchasing the services of young ladies — some 30 times in a six-month period, in the case of one of them — at a Buk-gu massage parlor.

The two were discovered when police investigated the credit card transactions of the massage parlor, which was apparently raided.

What’s wrong with a harmless rub-n-tug? Still can’t figure out how its illegal to charge for something that you could do for free. Morality Blue Laws are a scourge. Don’t the police have anything more serious to investigate?

I would have agreed with you before a former trial defense client of mine used a credit card receipt to prove consent and convince the Korean police that he was innocent of rape. In an astonishing turn of events, the Korean police actually — sit down for this — followed the evidence and charged the object of my client’s affection with extortion.

How does visiting a massage parlor prove guilt in this case?

They could have gone to get a legitimate massage and paid with a credit card.

Likely? Probably not. But in a court of law, I don’t buy that a simple receipt could prove guilt of paying for sex.
