Just the Facts - Prostitution is the Act or Practice of providing Sexual Services to another Person in return for Payment, Illegal in all States except Nevada. This Law needs to be Revised...Guns and all Mam Made Weapons should be Illegal.

To Anon - I would have no Problem, One can Refuse or Accept - Now, if He was agressive and would not take NO, that is a different situation. We all have to be careful and should not put ourselves in Danger especially at Night. Sexual gratification is a Normal Function of the Body and should not be considered Illegal especially if there is consensual Agreement. I was not present when this took place, so I really can't make a Judgment.

@Muriel

To solicit also means to propose an action in the manner of a prostitute. Doing that is illegal under Section 645 of the New Hampshire code. Don't be intentionally dense by pretending the first meaning of the word in a dictionary is the only thing it can mean.

I'd like to know how the police determine the difference between lewd speech and solicitation. The law doesn't specify that money needs to be involved or that the speech needs to be unwanted. So what's the line between being a drunk asshole and an accused prostitute? Is there one?

Muriel-
He was not asking questions or just mentioning it, that's not illegal. He was asking these two girls to perform a sexual act on him. That is illegal. How would you feel if a strange man walked up to you late at night and started to try to get you to perform these acts on him? Would you be comfortable or would you want him to stop? It is not a matter of speech, but a matter of making these girls' feel unsafe enough to call the police.

In Reply to Anonymous - Absolutely, You have the Right to feel safe at the Bus Stop and in your Apartment. My Comment is based on the First Paragraph of the Article which mentions SOLICIT - Dictionary Definition - to SEEK or ASK. The rest is a matter of Opinion/Choice.

I know of this person from a similar incident he was involved in when he was in high school. He wasn't charged with an offense at that time primarily due to his age and his victim was convinced by the police department and the District Attorney's office not to press charges. Thank goodness he got caught before his actions escallated into something much more serious! Good work on the part of the UNH police!

Muriel--I would like to feel safe at my bus stop (and in my apartment). He wasn't mentioning sex or asking a question, he was soliciting a graphic sex act, in a way that was clearly perceived as threatening enough to contact the police. To portray that as "asking a question" is a blatant misrepresentation. We don't live in a puritanical society, and discussions about sex are common and accepted. What Boyer did was not discussion, it was sexual harassment.

Crime? Oh, Oh...I forgot, you can't mention anything to do with Sexual Pleasure or just asking a question about SEX without being Arrested......how SAD!

The next time you get angry with a UNH employee that won't let you into your dorm without and ID, remember this.
