Dart Puts Former Prostitutes on Payroll

In an effort to continue his battle against prostitution, Cook County Sheriff Tom Dart has added a few former prostitutes to the payroll. The sheriff's office, partnering with the county Department of Women’s Justice Services, performed a pair of prostitution stings earlier this year that led to the arrest of 11 women and two of them accepted Dart's offer. The primary job of the women is to amass information on pimps and other sex traffickers that the sheriff's office can use in their battle against prostitution. [WBBM]

Wow, I guess every story has a happy ending.

I hate how he prostitutes himself like this.

If he REALLY wants to "Combat Prostution, then why does he not bust ESCORTSCHICAGO.COM???? I guess the owner pays him off.

Now job requirements are you must have a history of prostitution, no GED required. Know wonder I couldn't land a County job.

Why does the phrase "to amass information on pimps" make me laugh?
