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.

LOL! "Sheriff, I'm afraid we don't have this investigation screwed down tight, yet. We've got to go back and probe some more. Don't put the red light on this! This kind of investigation takes time before it gets to a climax."
Well, it's been kind of a boring Friday afternoon...
Apparently so. Still, I never make judgments. Whatever blows your dress up, I always say....
HEHE, that's what I meant!
Ah, no more shimshee-shimshee for the cops there, I guess. So sad.
Said one hooker, "That's too bad. They was some of our best customers. And good tippers, too."
heh...heh...you said "tipper"
It gets me when the government says we dont have enough police to stop the illegal immigration invasion, but the police always have plenty of time to go after prostitutes, poker games, parking meter violators, etc. Hmmmm.
