To report this male prostitute to 111

[chibrowoo]

He's contacted me on an online dating profile twice now. I've reported him once a few weeks ago and nothing has happened with his account.

Firstly its clearly against the t&c of the app to use for selling yourself, secondly I don't need to pay for it and its pretty insulting. He may have a good body, but the face is very average.

[catfordbetty]

I stand corrected.

Catford , section 5 doesn't work because neither party is in a public place . Try again . Harassment possibly , if it becomes a course of conduct , or maybe malicious comms , but not an offence under the public order act .

[goodnightdarthvader1]

I think 101 have more important things to worry about.

[catfordbetty]

The OP was offended by the implication that she might "have to pay for it". I think that's the basis of a very good case against this prostitute but, admittedly, I'm no lawyer. Prosecution for an average face seems harsh - how many of us might be caught in that dragnet? I dread to think of the strain on the British criminal justice system.

[AndrastesKnickerweasels]

Honestly, catford I think it's the very average face that I'd find most distressing. All that fine bod, marred by a potato for a fizzog.

[catfordbetty]

Section 5 makes it an offence to use “threatening, abusive or insulting words or behaviour, or disorderly behaviour” or to display “any writing, sign or other visible representation which is threatening, abusive or insulting” within the hearing or sight of a person “likely to be caused harassment, alarm or distress ...

[AnyoneFucoffee]

I imagine the police would want a photo of you so that they can decide whether he is being insulting.

Howling.

[BusShelter]

The face is average as is the thread

[BubsandMoo]

I think unsolicited cock shots should count as sexual harassment. When men whip them out in the street at you it's illegal, so I'd imagine the same must apply online?

[Imaminda]

this has to be a troll thread but fpml

[PiperChapstick]

Is this a reverse? Are you the gigolo OP, do you urgently need medical help that's not life-threatening? Then yes,call 111. Unless pharmacies have something for a very average face.

And don't be so hard on yourself, I'm sure you have a lovely face HUN

[BigChocFrenzy]

Face very average
Obviously you must report it - to the Trading Standards Office !
How very dare he, with his vegetable face.
I'm thinking olive eyes, turnip nose and cauliflower ears
Nice bod, shame about the boat race ....

Shouldn't he have to pass an exam first, before opening [innocent face] his business

[howtorebuild]

A lying cock.

[howtorebuild]

Giglo sadly has already sent a cock shot.

[BubsandMoo]

Glad you saw sense OP and thanks for the giggles . This is not a police matter, no crime being committed, unless he's sending you threats/harassing you - that might come under malicious communications I guess. Although in defence of the 'mumsnet advises calling 101 for bloody everything' brigade - sometimes it is the right thing to do! Just not for nuisance twits on online dating sites.

DEFINITELY report to the dating site though - as an online dating veteran that is Just Not On! According to some male friends, apparently it's pretty par for the course for men to receive frequent messages from female prostitutes though.

I wonder if cock shots count as sexual harassment?

[GigoloWithAnAverageFace]

Hey ladeeeeeez.

I here for you baby

[RickRoll]

"Insulting behaviour is against the law.."

No it fucking isn't.

[howtorebuild]

just send us a screenshot of his face.

Someone on another thread tonight said Rob Lowe has a small head, so we need to judge.

[enthusiasmcurbed]

OP. Fuck off. Can't think of anything more to say.

[BertieBotts]

Generally although soliciting is illegal it's unlikely anything will be done unless he is causing a public nuisance. Online doesn't really count as public (yet).

If you think there's a chance he's been trafficked or illegally pimped I suppose you could report that, but I don't know how you'd work that out or who you could report it to. And it's less likely with male sex workers, anyway.

Just block and move on.

[Plomino]

Pah . Don't ring the police - ring Trading Standards . You'll find yourself on "Rip off Britain " before you can blink .

[verystressedmum]

I definitely think you should call them. They will probably send an investigative team to your house to look at your online dating profile and gather all the information about him. Then they will go to his house and arrest him for this crime. You can give evidence at the trial.

[Redglitter]

Costa I'm one of the poor sods who gets all the 'OMG call 101' calls on my screen.

Wtf - is a not uncommon response to these calls when they arrive

[Flashbangandgone]

Would be interested to know what the OP thinks the Police would actually do here? On the basis that they are swamped with the numbers accessing child abuse images, to think the Police would be interested in this is ridiculous!
