SPOTSYLVANIA, Va. (AP) -- The sheriff said Friday he will no longer allow detectives to receive sexual services while investigating suspected prostitution after they spent $1,200 at massage parlors last month and sparked a public outcry.
Spotsylvania County Sheriff Howard Smith defended the practice as necessary to obtain a conviction but told his department he was suspending it.
"As sheriff, I understand the feelings and concerns the citizens of this county have expressed," Smith said in a statement sent to The Associated Press on Friday. "And I empathize with those feelings. Because of the public's express response, I have suspended this practice."
Court documents show that four times last month, county detectives allowed women at Moon Spa to perform sex acts on them - once leaving a $350 tip. A total of $1,200 was spent during the visits, Smith said. He said multiple visits were necessary so detectives could build trust with the operators.

They were undercover?
Did they have to use the words "sex" and "probes" in the same sentence?
I don't know about this situation; but the sex parlors that were being investigated in my state were also engaged in human trafficking. Bringing in young girls from other countries to service.
(smacks forehead)
That was too obvious for me I guess!
I only sent six.
Huh huh! You said "prostitution probes!"
"Oh well, the cops have to go back to spending their own money on hookers now."
Nah. They'll just go back to threatening to run them in unless they give it up.
The Attorney General was pissed at how his directive to "probe prostitutes" was misunderstood.
"They were undercover?"
I don't think so, although they were uncovered...at least in part.
"Huh huh! You said "prostitution probes!""
Go deep!
I'll volunteer to give them a hand...er...I mean some help....yeah that's it..I will volunteer...nothings to big or to hard to help the men in Blue...spew some goo for the men in blue..

Another article said they only used single employees.
Define single. No girlfriend? Or do they have some 'splainin' to do?
That isn't possible - lol.
"Honest, I didn't go searching for the sex stories - they just kind of found me today.
"
Oh, sure...so you say....
