They always claim they never went through with it.
It's convenient because the evidence trail stops at the brothel/apartment the prostitute is using etc.
This is the typical cheater's playbook, which is "only admit to what can be proven".
If women on here ever have the opportunity to find out if he did actually have sex with a prostitute, they tend to find out he did.
As others have said - how very unusually unlucky for him to be caught the first and only time he's done it. When ppl get caught doing something, it's usually something theyve done more than once.
Also the coke and drink typical excuses - for why he's not responsible for his values, ideas, choices, decision making, actions ...... But he is. Plenty of ppl get drunk every day of the week and don't contact and go to brothels. Plenty of ppl do coke ... And don't contact & go to brothels.
Looking up, contacting sex workers and apparently (it's likely) having sex with them is what he does when he's high. He can't blame the drink and coke if every other person drink or taking coke doesn't do the same, which they don't. It's a out his inclinations and values and character.
He's trotting out one of the typical convenient lines for a cheater who's been caught. They generally revolve around being under the influence, being an "addict", being depressed etc etc.
As someone said above, someone who drinks to any large extent and does coke at all is hardly a great partner prospect anyway.
