On that I fully agree. We both say that escort agencies vet clients and protect prostitutes. I think escort agencies do much more for both their clients and johns and that Derek is correct morally in steering his adult film agency clients to an agency (of which there are only two major escort agencies on the west coast — his agency Luxury Companion and Slixa — the latter might not be structured as a traditional escort agency but they serve as one, Trinity St. Whore and her pimp friend also have one but they are small and very dishonest with a horrible reputation, there are also several mom and pop agencies that I cannot speak knowledgeably about) rather than taking the moral high ground and refusing those services to his talent agency clients on conflict of interest grounds.

By using a high class escort agency the girls clients are vetted and they pretty much eliminate the chances of them ending up with a serial killer as opposed to girls working the streets.

If Derek was what her attorney claims in his complaint he would have went up to Soledad, Corcoran, San Quentin or another California prison years ago on rape charges. Charlotte’s attorney essentially accuses Derek of rape by coercion. She also essentially accuses him of pimping, I can’t argue that he isn’t a pimp in the technical sense but I don’t think he is hurting his clients by referring them to the escort service he part owns to protect them from the riff raff on Hollywood Blvd. They also make four times the money escorting (even after Derek’s cut) than they would standing on a seedy street corner flagging some low class john — possibly VD ridden, drunk or high off of his ass (I may not have had VD but when I was fucking street hookers I was drunk as hell and the only class I had was when I taught at a university, back then outside of work I had less class than Jeff Mike Steward on a whiskey bender fucking Belladonna up the ass with a Louisville Slugger). At least with the escort service the johns are verified as able to pay and background checked to keep cops, rapists and ax murderers from seeing clients. I know if I were a hot woman I would rather make $1200 an hour (after commission), likely not get arrested and fuck a clean, reasonably decent person that can pay than risk hooking on Hollywood and Vine for $300 an hour maximum, take my chances on whatever street meat drove up to fuck me and get arrested (and probably raped by the cops for free) three times a week. Also, with the escort service the john provides the hotel room, with street meat the hooker has to pay for a nearby hotel room or fuck in the back of the john’s car. Hell, for the money in pimping at an escort service maybe I should get into it (NOT).
