Good Morning, Starchild-- the Earth Says Hello

starchild.jpgGood news everyone-- well-known libertarian, Ron Paul fan, exotic male dancer and bisexual male escort Starchild has been aquitted of charges of prostitution by a Fremont court. Starchild was up on charges for soliciting prostitution on Craigslist and was caught up in a sting by a Fremont police officer.

Starchild denied he was hooking in this particular case. In fact, he said this about the case: "we were not denying I might have committed prostitution on other occasions, we were just saying I didn't do it on this occasion." The jury agreed as nobody could prove anything actually transpired. After all, as Carol Leigh of BAYSWAN) Bay Area Sex Worker Advocacy Network) put it: "Starchild, like most San Franciscans, would have little cause or desire to go to Fremont." Good point.

The case had gained a measure of attention as ho sex worker advocates rallied to his cause and people pointed out that it seems like a waste of Fremont's time and money to go after a perennial political candidate in San Francisco. It also gained a measure of attention because, frankly, Starchild rules.
