He Took a Prostitute to an Oakland Motel. Next Thing He knew He Was Being Robbed
San Jose Mercury News ^ | April 16, 2025 | Nate Gartrell

Four people have been charged with robbing a man at a local motel, in a case where the prostitute the victim had hired may not have been honest about her true intentions.

In one case, Trevell Moore, 19, and Taza Thomas Jr., 20, were charged with second degree robbery for allegedly beating a man and stealing $2,000 from him. Both men were arrested earlier this month after detectives identified them as two of at least four suspects.

In an earlier filed case, prosecutors charged Bianca Ashely — the 18-year-old woman who allegedly helped set up the victim — and 18-year-old Damian Ortega, who allegedly participated in the beating and robbery. Both were charged with second degree robbery.

Police said in court records that Ashely’s “pink fur coat” and “French tip style nails,” worn by the female suspect during the robbery, aided in her identification. She was wearing a similar outfit when an undercover cop in Oakland arrested her in a prostitution sting, authorities said.

Don’t ya’ know? Prostitution is a victimless crime. No one ever has a problem with a prostitute.
That poor sap.....what a dingbat.

Over a decade ago a very rich man in Monte Sereno was “Seeing” a prostitute from the East Bay. She either solicited a gang she knew, or the demanded the info from her, but it lead to a home invasion, where he died, and the wife was badly beaten. And the prostitute presumably lost a loyal client.

A friend of mine became a prostitute. Brutal family life and then drugs and then she was out selling herself.

She got beaten a lot, her pimp was a monster...and yeah she probably set a few guys up.

I had a vending machine route at the time and some of my machines were in Richmond Terrace gas stations, where she pliked her trade.

It used to break my heart when I saw her. She’d tell me about the things that happened to her.

She was beautiful and she was young when we were kids.

And she was never beautiful and young again.

The lie about a victimless crime is up there with non violent drug dealers.

That’s why the pot dealers who got into my cab all had guns or knives...driving a cab is no glamorous job either in some areas :)

Dealers and prostututes use cabs to ply their trade.

Crazy world.

Flashing a wad to a pro was a bad idea. Might as well worn a “rob me” sign around his neck.

Our advertising and entertainment industries like to romanticize prostitution. It's disgusting.

Even more disgusting are some professors at universities who try to promote it as a "victimless crime." These people have a moral void in their lives and are trying to sell it to impressionable youth.

I hope and pray your friend finds her way out of that life.
