RE: hypothetical question

Hello [ ]

Left message on your VB. Spoke to■ this morning who said she would have you call me.

Have a legal question re prosecution of adult sex offenders in Fla.

If adult (pimp) pays a minor, to have sex with another adult (say transaction was negotiated in Fla or other state in the US), and minor has sex with another adult (not pimp) outside the US, is that considered a crime in Fla and the US?

Secondly, can "pimp" be prosecuted in fla or other US state for paying minor to have sex with other adult outside US?

Thank you,

Hi Conchita.

I received your voicemail and explained your conversation with her [ ] to me. Unfortunately, I cannot help you either. My answer is the same as hers: As prosecutors, we cannot give you a legal opinion on whether a hypothetical set of facts might or might not constitute a federal crime. Sony for the inconvenience.

Take care,

Yes this is a great inconvenience. Odd too that a practising lawyer cannot comment on a hypothetical [ ] case.

Forgive me, I thought moot court was exactly this- to learn the law through simulated court proceedings.

In the meantime, do you know a prosecutor in Fla who would speak to me who has nothing to do with Epstein case- since this is obviously your concern- who would answer this hypothetical question?

Thank you,
Conchita

Nasty, huh?

I told her she should ask the lawyer for her newspaper. That is what they get paid for!
