At least he didn't try to scare her with climate change tall tales, or tell her how great the Federal Reserve is.

this is what you get when marrying a barrel of shrimp is legitimized....

I am still having trouble understanding why this is illegal.

Everything is illegal. What part of that don't you understand?

The fair's last day was yesterday, so property values must have increased by $100,000 starting today....

Fair definitely has a bit of a subculture feel to it - both for employees and from the customers - seems like plenty of hard drugs and booze that added up through years of existence.

It appears he was soliciting 18+ women.
Is that illegal? How will they make it stick?
Instinct tells me he really wants young girls who just claim to be 18. That way he can have a defense.
If they frame him I'll be glad

When will the government stop oppressing job creators who are only trying to bring opportunity to the downtrodden?

zzyzzx says

a card that says "Big Pimpin Inc. Be a Star." The card also offered a signing bonus for an 18th birthday contract.

The evidence is right on the card, 18th birthday. Thus, there's no soliciting of a minor here.

That's like saying that when you're 18, you can join the Army on your own volition. Is that the army soliciting a minor, by telling him when his adult options are?

Sorry libs. I don't believe in fairness and justice for scumbags.

Did he try and sell them a house as well?

Pandering. Illegal but seldom enforced.

The Alameda County Fair IS a meat market, guess he got confused.

At the Alameda Fair concerts (for the free on the beach concerts in Santa Cruz as well), the musicians are soliciting groupies and collecting keys/phone numbers right from the stage, what's the difference.

zzyzzx says

They said he handed Justice a card that says "Big Pimpin Inc. Be a Star." The card also offered a signing bonus for an 18th birthday contract.

"He like asked if I was 18 and I was like no I'm 16, and he kind of thought about it, and he was like call me when you turn 18," said Justice.

Mom's just jealous that she was passed over for a mother/daughter team.

zzyzzx says

“He said I’d be a good porn star, that makes me just feel sick,” said Justice.

Don't worry honey, soon you'll be too old and unattractive to be noticed by these people. Just ask your mom.

Hmmm, highly paid porn star or cannon fodder.

Choices choices...

Seriously if you name your daughter "Justice" you're just preparing her for the porn industry.

What? I thought the fair was organized for educational purposes such as checking out the reptiles and black widows!

Nah, porn doesn't pay. It's better to be a highly paid escort and then, there's also no digital history of the activity.

Yeah, a whorehouse.

No reason the young lady can't do both if the porn advertises her escort service(s).

And as to the digital record who cares? Celebrities put out sex tapes all the time just to enhance their appeal.
