The founder of theeroticreview.com, a Web site the New York Times calls the Amazon.com of prostitution, has been arrested in Phoenix on suspicion of trying to kill one person and seriously injure another, selling drugs and misconduct with weapons.

David Elms, 38, was booked into the Maricopa County jail early this morning after he arrived in Phoenix from California, following information about him that police gleaned from the "Desert Divas" escort service investigation. Here's the straight poop from Sergeant Andy Hill's news release:

Suspect: Elms, David; A/M; DOB 4/09/71; booked into Maricopa County Jail for one count of conspiracy to commit murder; one count of conspiracy to commit aggravated assault; one count of conspiracy to possess narcotic drugs for sale; one count of conspiracy to commit misconduct involving weapons; one count of possession of drug paraphernalia

Victim 1: 32 year old female

Victim 2: 62 year old male

Phoenix Police Department investigators recently received information that Mr. Elms wanted to hire someone to kill the listed female victim. Investigators met with Mr. Elms after he arrived in Phoenix from California just after midnight on February 15, 2009.

Mr. Elms was arrested about 30 minutes later after probable cause was developed to arrest him for the listed charges. Investigators state that Mr. Elms contracted to have the woman killed and the listed adult male victim seriously injured. Mr. Elms was arrested without incident by officers from the Phoenix Police Department's Special Assignments Unit.

Yelp. The are guys who spend money and write reviews on the prostitutes. One guy has posted 700 reviews.

700? Wilt Chamberlain laughs at him and calls him an amateur.

Btw, how does a guy who pays and rates hookers end up wanting to murder one? Talk about getting to involved with your work.

He was probably framed by Craig’s List - they didn’t want the competition.

But I thought prostitution was a victimless crime?
If it was legal, we could tax it and control it.
Hey, everybody does it, so what is wrong?
Its the world's oldest profession, it has and will always be with us.
The element that is involved is already here and active, so they won't increase.

Everybody has their favorite justification ...

It is a big problem and it very hard to stop. People who get involved with prostitution have a very serious addiction. Talk to the girls who catch STDs from it. Do a google search on beefeater500, he has the most prostitution reviews on the internet.
