Smith Defended Practice Earlier In Week
POSTED: 9:39 am CST February 17, 2006  
 
SPOTSYLVANIA, Va. -- The Spotsylvania County sheriff in Virginia has suspended the practice of allowing detectives to receive sexual services while investigating suspected prostitution.
 
Sheriff Howard Smith defended the practice this week. But he said in a statement Friday that he suspended the policy "because of the public's express response."
 
Smith told The Washington Post this week that sexual contact was necessary to obtain a conviction. He had said that he stood by the practice, but limited the work to unmarried detectives. He also said the practice was not new.
 
The sheriff said detectives spent $1,200 during four visits last month to a massage parlor. He said multiple visits were necessary so detectives could build trust with the operators. One detective left a $350 tip.  
 
 
Detectives shut down Moon Spa last month, and charges were filed against five people.
 
Spotsylvania Commonwealth's Attorney William Neely said he respects Smith's decision to end the practice, but refused to apologize for the officers' tactics.
 
Henry Connors, president of the county board of supervisors, criticized the policy this week. He said Friday that his opposition was "never about the need to stamp out prostitution or crime. It was always about the tactics."
 
Several police officials and legal observers say the practice has been tried by other agencies across the country, but they knew of none that still permit sexual contact with suspects as part of prostitution investigations. nbc 5 story
 
What will these officers use for evidence now?
