Florida newlywed, 34, is arrested for trying to solicit a prostitute on his HONEYMOON as wife slept: 'Is it too late to get the gifts back?' Sheriff jokes

  • Paul Turovsky, a 34-year-old businessman, was married on July 15 and spent his honeymoon in Tampa, Florida
  • While his new bride was asleep, he was looking for sex online, and arranged to meet a prostitute at the Hyatt hotel in Tampa
  • On arrival at the hotel he was arrested by an undercover detective, who had posed as a prostitute as part of a human trafficking sting
  • Turovsky was one of 176 men arrested in the sting: police also located two missing Massachusetts teenagers who they believe were trafficked to Florida

Paul Turovsky, 34, was arrested as part of a sex trafficking sting after he solicited a prostitute on his honeymoon - unaware that it was a detective

A Florida man was arrested on his honeymoon after he answered an advert for a prostitute - only to arrive at the hotel and find a detective awaiting him instead.

Paul Turovsky, a 34-year-old businessman who local media said was based in Fort Myers, was in Tampa on his honeymoon after his July 15 wedding.

His new bride fell asleep, and so Turovsky went online to search for a prostitute.

Unaware to him, Hillsborough County sheriffs were conducting a sting operation to clamp down on human trafficking, sex with minors and prostitution.

Turovsky is believed to have tried to solicit an adult prostitute.

When he arrived at the Hyatt hotel at 2900 Bayport Drive in Tampa, he was put in handcuffs. The date of his arrest hasn't been disclosed, but it came during a months-long operation cops say snared multiple johns.

Chad Chronister, Hillsborough County sheriff, said: 'The only question here was, as a wedding guest was it too late to get the gifts that they gave returned back to them?'

It is unclear whether he remains married.

Turovsky was one of 176 men arrested in the sting.

Detectives also found two missing teenagers aged 16 and 17 who had traveled from Massachusetts to Tampa with two of the suspects.

One was found with an adult, sleeping in a vehicle at a grocery store, and the other was found at a hotel with one of the alleged traffickers, Chronister said.

'We believe these two individuals, these two men are responsible for trafficking many more women,' Chronister said.

'I'm not able to say more without jeopardizing the investigation.'

The girls were taken into protective custody and will be reunited with their parents.

Whoever put this sting on is getting promoted.

Pause this should show you that it’s not a certain look for people who pay prostitutes. These mofos I’m assuming we’re paying for the convenience on some vendor only stuff. So outside of the underaged minors why doesn’t the state allow licensed prostitution and make a red light area? Of course it will be taxed wouldn’t that help improve some communities? Or do we value not allowing prostitution more.

I think if I had to vote I’d vote for weed and a type of legalized prostitution. But I doubt I ever see that day.

Prostitution should be legalized or decriminalized, this man was soliciting from an ADULT, it's totally different when these dudes get caught trying to solicit minors. If they going after 14 year olds then it's throw the book at em' but these stings are always dumb if dudes trying to get at a 23 year old prHofessional :francis:




Who's mugshot is that in the last pic though? They out here catching cartoon characters :what:

Not sure how this solves the problem of sex trafficking, by pretending to sell ass and catching johns ? Wouldn't the smart thing to do was go after the pimps and get the girls by pretending to be johns ?
Nah, that makes too much sense.

But in general stings are more about humiliation and a deterrent to men thinking about engaging in the act.
