GRAND RAPIDS, MI The 87-year-old man police say was soliciting an undercover cop posing as a prostitute will not be prosecuted.
"What would be the purpose in prosecuting him? " Kent County Prosecutor William Forsyth said Tuesday, Sept. 1. "He wouldn't and shouldn't go to jail and 87 years without involvement in the criminal justice system has, in my opinion, earned him a pass."
Howard Arthur Klein, likely the oldest person ever charged with this crime, was arrested by Grand Rapids Police around 10 p.m. June 26, near Broadway Street NW and Leonard Avenue, not far from his home.
Klein was arrested along with two other men and two women, the rest of whom were booked into the Kent County Jail. Klein was not taken into custody, due to his age, and was arraigned July 8.
What would be the purpose in prosecuting him?" Kent County Prosecutor William Forsyth.
Klein allegedly claimed he thought the woman he approached was someone he knew from church.
They need to take Viagra off the Medicare Part D list.
Currently auditioning for a Cialis commercial...
Good decision; prosecutor probably wouldn’t’ve been able to get the evidence to stand up in court anyway.
LOL it varies by insurance provider.
Mine (ExpressSripts) covers “Cialis for daily use” but not Viagra.
Okay, THAT is funny.
Ha!
In sufficient evidence.
The suspect was released into the custody of his parents with a warning....
The old guy wanted to get off easy — but not like this.
VD is better at 87?
A prosecutor who’d like to run for higher office.
He wanted to go out with a bang...
And the priest asks, "When was the last time you went to confession?"
And the old man says, "Actually, this is the first time."
And the priest says, "You're 80 years old and this is your first confession? Why now?"
And the old man says, "Because I'm Jewish."
And the priest asks, "In that case, why are you telling me?"
And the old man says, "I'm telling everybody."
Have to wonder what the church girl , whom he thought the police woman was, is selling ......:o)
The guy’s a real optimist.
I think he was out collecting for the Red Cross.
True love waits.
LOL
Reminds me of the following Churchill anecdote:
During World War II, an aide read to Churchill an account in a tabloid: A seventy-five-year-old man on a cold January day-with the temperature thirty-five degrees below freezing had propositioned a nineteen-year-old girl to have sex on the grass in Hyde Park.
Churchill replied to the aide, “Over seventy-five! Below-zero temperature! It makes you proud to be an Englishman!”

Sorry, but the evidence will not stand up in court (or any place else for that matter), so the prosecutors case is limp at best.
