Lawyer convicted of prostitution

[Goodfella]

Tough times out there :biggrin2:

The Illinois Supreme Court has agreed to a three-year suspension for a solo lawyer who pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor count of prostitution and failed to disclose her illegal work history on her bar application.

Reema Nicki Bajaj, 28, of Sycamore, Ill., was suspended by consent in an order issued Friday. The petition alleges the prostitution occurred between 2005 and January 2011; Bajaj received her law license in November 2010 after graduating from Northern Illinois University College of Law.

According to a petition filed by the Illinois Attorney Registration and Disciplinary Commission, Bajaj identified herself as “Nikita” in ads posted on AdultFriendFinder.com. She performed sex acts with two men who answered the ads, the IARDC alleges, one of which resulted in a June 2012 guilty plea. But Bajaj denied ever exchanging sex for money in sworn testimony in the ethics case in September 2012.

The IARDC says that testimony was false. The commission also alleges that Bajaj failed to disclose information on her bar application, including:
• She didn’t disclose her “Nikita” alias in response to a question asking if she had ever been known by other names.
• She didn’t disclose her employment as a prostitute in response to a question about jobs she held in the last 10 years.
• She answered no when asked about possible misconduct.

The US is so concerned about sex when they have much bigger problems. It's a bullshit case and she should use her law degree to fight their discriminating prostitution laws.

Uphill fight against the moralistic, uptight religious politicians who screw around all the time but won't admit it.

What she is guilty of is failure to provide full disclosure.
That is an ethics violation.

Albeit a strange idea for a lawyer to be held to ethical standards.

Dude, what has she done? Escorted to put her way through school and become something she could be proud of only to have it taken away from holier than thou people.

10/10 in the sexy leg thread.

She used it as a stepping stone to better her life and for this I cannot throw stones. She may very well be a brilliant lawyer if given the chance and I would be prepared to say let her have a chance. Relieving her of her career will push her back into the pay for play industry making it a no win situation for anyone except maybe Wanker. It has become surprisingly obvious to me that punishing people within the industry pushes the ladies further underground. Letting them use it as a stepping stone with available support I think is the better option.

They should poll the Senate to see how many of our politicians have partaken in the hobby.
