Former Prosecutor Arrested for Arranging Prostitutes for “The Minnesota Nice Guys”

woman dancerFormer Hennepin County prosecutor John St. Marie, 65, has been arrested for arranging for wealthy clients to hook up with high-priced prostitutes for a club known as “The Minnesota Nice Guys.”

St. Marie allegedly did the work of setting up flights, hotels and logistics for sexual services and did not accept money as part of the scheme. Nice guys included lawyers, business owners, accountants and mortgage bankers who came from out of town to meet with the women.

St. Marie is wheelchair bound due to childhood polio and started the club in 2003. To make matters worse, police say that they have St. Marie on wiretaps discussing the illegality of his work and frequenting prostitutes for 35 years, including during the period he was a prosecutor. The prostitutes charged $500 an hour.

    Why the Cairo Speech & Election of Obama gave Achmadinejab his Presidency:

    In the cafe’s and whisper channels of Iran average Iranians said they saw that a position of strength & opposition against America won. For it had resulted in the election of a black man they consider a Muslim by Fatherwood. This man came to Cairo and told Muslims what great things Islam had done in the world.

    Average Iranians are now convinced his election was an intervention by Allah and proof Islam is the one true faith and that God is guiding them to victory and the path is through Achmadinejad.

    God help the free world, Israel, and Christianity.

    AY, You could turn that statement around to put the onus on those nice guys pretty easily.

    It’s only an issue because it’s illegal, just like drug use. Would it even make the news if it was legal and there was no ‘special interest quid pro quo’ at work? I don’t think so.

    ****************************
    some call it pimpin, some call it pandering, some call it prostitution, some call it a reason for divorce. But the bottom line is, it may be illegal in all states except Nevada unless you are in a town with a population of more than 50,000 it is generally over looked.

    Canada, Windsor specifically got Gambling, then legalized Call Girls and Weed. so I really don’t see a problem with it so long as it is consensual and the parties are over 18 or the age of majority in the state that they reside.
