Was it Prostitution?
You be the judge
File it under the heading of “boys will be boys.” Or maybe “boys in blue will be boys in blue.” Doesn’t matter. Whether it was solicitation of a sex act for money is the question of the day.
News flash: Buying ass is just as illegal as selling it. The authorities just won’t have it. It’s against everything they stand for — that is — until they do it themselves.
Enter a story from the Opelousas Daily World, a newspaper published in Louisiana, concerning a correctional officer named Eddie Taylor who has been accused of passing out extra food to female inmates in exchange for their performing lewd acts — some alone — and some with each other. OOO! Sounds hot, dude! I wanna be a Louisiana CO, too! Hand me a camera. Let’s shoot an episode of “Girls Gone Wild Behind Bars!”
So here’s the rub. What do you charge the guy with? Swapping twinkies for glimpses of girls sucking each other off? Hostess cupcakes for cupcakes hosting a viewing party? Nope! They hit him with a crime and phrase as obscure as they come:
malfeasance in office for prohibited sexual conduct with persons in the custody and supervision of the Department of Public Safety and Corrections.
