Richard Cohen, an online porn connoisseur from Philadelphia is a good example of how legal Sex Work can be profitable- even when the feds come. Peep game: Richie Rich owns National A-1 Advertising and RS Duffy Inc. Anytime you have a legitimate Sex Worker operation bringing in tens of millions of dollars you better know the feds will be watching and rightfully so. Most people don’t understand that the Sex Worker industry wants to be respected as business people. In doing so the industry has to be regulated to ensure that criminal activity that has plagued our industry for over a hundred years becomes a non-issue. In plain language: the feds have a job to do and you should be happy that they do it.
As legitimate Sex workers, your job is to abide by all applicable laws regardless to whom or what. I’m fully aware that sometimes things are out of our control and we fall victim to circumstance. Let Richard Cohen’s case serve as a good example of how to handle shit when the going gets tough. He owns the domain name escorts.com. This site is used worldwide by Sex Workers and their clients. A state police investigation started in Pennsylvania during surveillance of online prostitution in the Williamsport, Pa. area. A state trooper found a connection to escorts.com (probably after using the site but that’s another story). This led to Cohen’s office being raided and the shutdown of escorts.com, but don’t trip. Cohen’s two companies, not Cohen himself agreed to a plea deal with federal prosecutors. The two companies agreed to plead guilty to money laundering and to forfeit 4.9 million in proceeds from escorts.com and pay a 1.5 million dollar fine and 18 months of probation.
By copping the plea it ended the criminal investigation and allowed Cohen to continue to operate his other lucrative sex businesses like hotmovies.com and his phone sex business Prime Tel, which has almost 2 million 1-800 numbers. Two key factors allowed for this favorable outcome: the first and most important one is establishing a legit sex business and the second is having money to defend yourself when something goes wrong. The two attorneys for his companies, Andrew Miller and Joseph P. grimes were able to defend him properly because he had money to pay them. Sex Work is a billion dollar industry. Legalize and save money for a rainy day. As much as America hates Sex Workers, they can’t live without y’all.
