I'm surprised that such a person was willing to create such an extensive paper trail for their crimes, and that their customers were willing to go along with it too. If I were trying to hire a prostitute and the matter of my signature on a contract came up, I would conclude it was a police sting and GTFO. Then again I don't hire prostitutes in the first place. I suppose those that do probably have a higher tolerance for criminal risk.
