To get an idea of how prevalent the problem is, Liberty Lake Officer Mark Van Hyning, dressed in plain clothes, sat in a civilian vehicle in the gravel parking lot Wednesday and was propositioned numerous times. The men wasted no time in small talk and were very explicit about what they wanted, he said.
“When they were contacting me, the verbiage that was used was amazing,” Van Hyning said. “I was amazed at how many contacts there were. A lot of these guys were pulling up with (child) car seats in the back of their cars, wedding rings on their fingers.”
Simply propositioning someone isn’t illegal, and Van Hyning made no arrests. If discussions had turned to payment, the men could have been arrested for prostitution. Also, people caught engaged in sex can be arrested for indecent exposure.
