Other Criminal Charges & Offenses I Only Contacted an Escort and She's Threatening Me! Help??

[Mr. Friscus]

Jurisdiction

Ohio

My question involves criminal law for the state of: Ohio

I sadly have a horny stretch, and sometimes I get a mild high off considering the idea of soliciting a prostitute. However, I've never done so.

So, for some shameful reason, I was scanning the backpage escort services, saw an ad that had lots of pictures and caught my eye, and texted, which was a giant leap for me. We also chatted on the phone. Basically, I expressed interest in meeting this evening, she said she'd call me back. She did. I sent her a few pictures of me (foolish of me) that included my face, along with I'm ashamed to say a picture of my privates, and she sent one picture of her privates back back. I said I had cold feet and couldn't go through with it. She blew up on me and began making threats.



So my first question is, did I officially solicit prostitution?

Second, can I go to the police with this "evidence"? With her supposed connections through blackmailing police officers (I have to assume there's a possibility), could I find myself quickly on the wrong end of being framed?

Third, could she be charged with extortion or some sort of intimidation?

I have her phone number, and she has mine. I assume, IF she's good on her claims, that she can have people look me up by phone number.

I usually don't get freaked out by threats, but this one has me very worried. I'm upset and nervous. But, I need to know if I did anything wrong as far as breaking the law officially.

Did I?

Probably nothing will come of this. Block her number. Forget about it.

I removed the text messages to protect your privacy.
I also removed them because the conversation was a bit salacious.
Lastly, I removed the convo because it was useful or relevant to provide you with an answer.

I suggest you stay away from those sites.
If you can't, the you might wish to talk to a mental health counselor, psychologist, psychiatrist, or your family physician.

As far as the PERSON (you don't know if the person was male or female, that's one problem with engaging in certain behaviors, or what diseases were available if you ended up doing the deed), more than likely IT has moved along seeking the next mark.

Let it go, move on, and don't do it again.
Very bad things, as in harmful physical things could come of trolling among people involved in unusual business endeavors.

These days, with social media, people can be harmed that way, too.

Protect yourself, champ.

You really want to go to the police and claim the illegal prostitute you tried to hire is being mean to you? Really? You can't possibly think that will end well for you. As it is yes, you did engage the services of a prostitute, and you did send her pictures of yourself. You can't undo that. Block her number or change yours. Cross your fingers it goes away. Stop contacting prostitutes.
