I always believed your dad! He is nobody’s fool. He helped me investigate a solicitation charge for a Russian immigrant who barely understood English. Before he went to court before judge (current Secretary of State Ellen Rosenblume) I discussed with him what had happened.
The Russian guy said that he was driving home in SE Portland when he saw a woman motioning him into a driveway behind a building. He told me that she said, “You want a * job?” He nodded and drove in only to find that it was a prostitution sting by Portland Police.
Your dad learned from his sources that this sting had been in place for some time and that the people involved thought it was a big joke that the Russian guy was expecting a “blue” job as a worker somewhere.
I will never forget Rosenblum’s decision to convict him for soliciting prostitution. He didn’t know what a “blow job” was! It was a great shame for him and his family.
Great article about your dad reads like a real life version of Chinatown with even a rape of a minor. But real life takes longer to reach a satisfying end. I am glad your dad got to it.
Jason,

Your dad is a mensch!
Please send him my regards.

This was honestly one of the most fascinating things I've read in a long time.
