Answer

If you are paying this escort for a date and it involves sex, it is illegal. Just because the advertisement is listed as an escort, it still does not change the fact if money is paid in exchange for sex. If the police are involved with this or you get caught, you could face misdemeanor charges. Moreover, you expose yourself to potential STD's. Avoid using these services as it is likely to lead trouble
