Escambia Man Gets 25 Years For Assaulting Prostitute
November 24, 2012
An Escambia County man is headed to prison for sexually assaulting a prostitute.
William George Redmond III, 36, was sentenced by Circuit Judge J. Scott Duncan to 25 years in state prison as a habitual felony offender for two counts of sexual battery, assault and procuring another for prostitution.
An Escambia County jury found Redmond guilty after hearing evidence that during the early morning hours of December 12, 2011, the defendant picked up a known prostitute in his vehicle and drove her around while trying to find money.
During the drive, the defendant stated that he would not give her money and the victim attempted to escape from his vehicle, but Redmond pulled her back in the vehicle. Redmond then drove to a secluded area, parked his vehicle, and forced the victim to engage in sexual activity, according to prosecutors.
Afterwards, Redmond dropped the victim off and she immediately alerted law enforcement.

Bad on both counts. The guy for either not paying or even picking up a prostitute, and for the girl.
Lesson on both sides. You should be able to pay for what your asking for, and she should protect her self.
Wonder what would have happened if she would have gone after the family jewels as payment?
Nothing said the only evidence the jury considered was that of the lady.
They probably didn’t even tell the jury of his many previous convictions.
Only going on her word?
Very dangerous.
I doubt prostitutes are above lying.
Rape is rape regardless! She said no, so no it is. Pretty much an open and shut case as the judge proved. Even if she was a postitute, she did NOT deserve to be violated.

Or maybe especially not them.
They aren’t doing it for fun or the desire to catch AIDS.
Bet his parents are proud of him.
If he would have just paid her, maybe he could have avoided jail a little bit longer. Everyone wants to be compensated for the “work” that they provide. Nobody wants to be robbed…even prostitutes.
