"The police wasn't trying to accuse an innocent person. They were doing their job. Face it, he offered $30 to an undercover officer for oral entertainment after he circled the block repeatedly. She had a witness and sent him to jail. If alcoholism is to blame, why didn't they go after a DUI charge also? It was soliciting for sex. Its in the court record."

According to Predident Bill Clinton, it is not sex.
Bull! I say, the police needs to do something or we will have prostitutes soliciting on every corner near Krogers, Walmart, City Hall, schools, everywhere. Thank you Portsmouth PD.
They are godly and you are not!
Whoring around is ok because they will be forgiven.
I'm not sure why you are so down on one particular school, and no, I didn't attend there. I went to a state school. If you think Christians think they are better than everyone one else you are very much mistaken. We know we aren't. That's the point. I'm so glad I don't judge Southern Ohio residents by your angry hatefilled responses. I truly hope you find what you're looking for.
I also know the Cedarville crowd needs to maintain their phoney innocence.
Not everyone pictured was prostituting themselves or even picking someone up. One person gave into the addiction of alcohol, closed down a bar, was waved over by 2 women (dressed casually) he thought were from the bar , asked them what they wanted, rejected their offer when it was made, and drove home. The police picked him up 6 blocks away, told him to keep his mouth shut and take the ticket or they would hit him with a DUI--which he was guilty of and is a much more serious crime. He thought he could loose his job and pleaded no contest to the lesser charge. If he didn't struggle with alcohol he wouldn't have been there. He is devastated, ashamed, and feeling hopeless because he failed. I hope the "Christian", who judged him and a good university based on a humanbeings weakness, searches their heart and their attitude to see if it glorifies God or just makes them feel more superior--that's what judging is all about. Being a Christian DOES NOT make you perfect--no do they claim it does. We've just accepted God's way of reconciling ourselves to Him through His son. We have a faithful, loving God --so thankful for that. He is also the God of hope and 2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc etc changes. We all just pick up the pieces, look ahead, and keep pressing forward. Forgiven and Thankful
I thank God that I did not go to Cedarville. I went to a major university and most of my friends were Christians and none of us were whoremongers. Moreover, none became prostitutes either. Listening to deceivers promoting Cedarville, the opposite is claimed by them.
