Soliciting sex in a public restroom is disgusting. But I’m not so sure the “evidence” the police had would convict someone “beyond a reasonable doubt”.
I don't think I have ever met a cop that I would believe about this BS unless it was on tap and then I would want the tap checked.
au contraire..
when the perpetrator is using a specific “code of conduct” known to be used by gays to solicit sex (as shown by multiple other gay solicitations) then you have pretty good evidence that there is clear intent.
When did you last go into a public restroom, sit down, peer through the gap into the next stall, tap your foot repeatedly, slide it under the partition into the next stall, and run you hand repeatedly along the bottom of the partition?
Never?
Thought not..it’s not a random behavior, is it?
Agreed. At most, you could be convicted of "acting really goofy."

I agree, he should have hired an attorney. A sitting senator does not consult a lawyer for 2 months, pleads guilty, knows that the left is out to get him, but thinks no one will find out. That is dumber than picking up paper off the BR floor.
A guilty plea generally removes all possible doubt.
