Greg Raymer (Fossilman) Arrested in Prostitution Sting

[AlfieAA]

not really sure it matters whether it is male of female prostitutes tbh, aslong as they are adults and above age of consent then its the man's own business...not that i agree with it or would ever even think about doing something so dirty myself...dont particuarly fancy catching sexual diseases or funding some poor desperate girls drug addiction....hopefully he will come out and appologise since it has came out publicly, then he can go back to playing poker or whatever.

law enforcement actually spends our tax dollars setting up sting operations to go after people because they want to pay for sex. ya they've really punished some serious menaces to society here (sarcastic). when are we goin to pull our collective head out of our asses in the US and vote for better laws and politicians.

I agree - there is no more reason for that to be illegal than playing poker should be illegal. Politicians/government pushing their self righteous religious beliefs on the rest of the country.

I totally agree.

Probably same politicians pay for sex

Wake Forest police said the sting was part of a wider attempt to crack down on prostitution.

Really, how does it??
Wake Forest police had no comment!!

 

[inflnlte]

Really sucks for him, but its his fault so no one else to blame. He'll def not get the same treatment when he sits at a poker table unless someone never hears this story.

1,000 bond pocket change for a guy with 1.6 million dollar home.

Ummm.. don't think it was a girl he was looking for

(MALE prostitution sting)

"A Wake Forest Police Department spokesperson said Gregory Paul Raymer, 48, was one of six men who responded to an advertisement posted by undercover police on a popular website men often seek out female prostitutes."

It says female prostitutes not male.

And why does raymer not have him a sugar momma? Im sure he has enough money to keep a good lucking girl around him lol.

The article now clearly states it was a female prostitution sting:

A Wake Forest Police Department spokesperson said Gregory Paul Raymer, 48, was one of six men who responded to an advertisement posted by undercover police on a popular website men often seek out female prostitutes.

Honestly though, when it comes to career impact, how many poker players & gamblers are going to judge him for this? Vegas, prostitution, and gambling go hand in... er... hand. Hardly something to be overly concerned about among that crowd. The only reason this is really news is that it happened in the conservative South.

Of larger and sadder consequence is the family impact. He's married and I don't recall if he has kids or not. That's what's really shameful.

He was railed, after that back door straight got flushed away.lol

When questioned by the police Phil Helmuth (left) & Greg Raymer (right) assured the authorities they understood there was a Charity Poker Event being held in the Hotel.

^worst post ever.

Come on, that was some funny shit!

 

[Marginal]

Nah, just not working

 

[NineLions]

Article still reads:

The men face misdemeanor charges of prostitution and attempted crimes against nature.
​

Any idea what constitutes "attempted crimes against nature" in Wake Forest?

"A Wake Forest Police Department spokesperson said Gregory Paul Raymer, 48, was one of six men who responded to an advertisement posted by undercover police on a popular website men often seek out female prostitutes."

It says female prostitutes not male.

Yea - they have since corrected it - it was originally reported wrong. See my post above.

 

[triplesyxx]

He was just trying to backdoor a straight!

lollll....so what prostitution should be legal....not that I would engage in it, but its the worlds oldest pofession, and what a woman does with her body is her business.

 

[ScottishMatt]

Meh. Some dude had sex with a woman. That is really all this amounts to.

Nothing wrong with sex. Nothing wrong with paying for a service someone is willing to offer. Nothing wrong with prositution.

As for Greg, he seems like a cool dude through the interviews I've seen. This changes nothing.

Totally shocked two champions hold this in hotel...eek

Totally agree, should be legal everywhere like it is here. As I understand it, you meet the ladies in a Lounge setting then chat a bit to see if both parties are mutually interested then your off to the nurse to be checked out and shower up. Most the ladies are just college girls looking to pay tuition or alike.

Or so Ive read. :cheers:

Nothing wrong with it at all, as long as the wife knows hes off for a stress reliever.

Yea, he should have driven over the hill like he usually does. I see him often at the peppermill and GSR giving classes. Hes a very nice person, very approachable too.

Totally agree...the supposed separation of church and state is a myth.

 

[FrankMStone]

Let the man be, he has cash to spend lol

 

[needaGF]

Oh my... this is really shocking!!!

Greg Raymer is the first player that I watched on TV. How could he do this!!!

 

[GOIVIT]

Oh my... this is really shocking!!!

I wonder if he is the first poker winner to pay for sex?

 

[catchitfool]
