i’m pretty sure receiving an award for making adult videos is not illegal sex work.
making porn isn’t illegal either, but that’s not why he was traveling there.
Do you think that you’re above basic literacy?

I guess you missed this part of the literature.

“This officer decided to be a lot more thorough with his search and interrogation. After about two hours of intense interrogation, he found evidence that I do porn on my personal phone. Then, over the next two hours found evidence of escorting on my other phone.”

Miles keeps a second phone specifically for professional calls and texts.

“While searching my second phone, which was dead, they charged it up and found text conversations I had with past clients. They banned me based on previous text message conversations with clients, confirming that I had met up with clients in the past.”

Miles added, “I was having text message conversations with potential clients in Vegas, but no solid plans had been made to meet with any clients in Vegas.”

He made a point to differentiate between the escort work he provides and prostitution.

I guess you missed this part of the text:

He made a point to differentiate between the escort work he provides and prostitution.

“Escorting is an exchange of money for time spent with an individual. For example, most of my clients are looking for ‘the boyfriend’ experience. Or someone to go to dinner with. Prostitution is an exchange of money for sexual services. There was never any evidence of prostitution on my phone, only escorting.”

Again, I wasn't born yesterday. That's just equivocation.
