A whole new set of circumstances huh? So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright 'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life Make light!

1969912 0 #2 July 1, 2007 Well, the most likely reason for her to want contact info is in case she becomes pregnant. I wonder if there is any case law (in the US) related to a similar situation. One could argue that since she'sa professional, she should assume all responsibility.

kbordson 8 #3 July 1, 2007 I would be curious to know what the contract actually read. Other points are that 1. She probably provided said condom. She should be responsible for its failure. 2. He paid not only for the service, but for discretion and anonymity as well. If she became pregnant, it would be wrong to impose the responsibility of a child on him. Now... in case there was an STD transmission, for that she should know how to notify him. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
1969912 0 #4 July 1, 2007 I thought about the need to notify him in the event of an STD, but it didn't make sense that sh would call the police in because he wouldn't provide contact info.. Did your read "contact" as "contract"? Because of the way it's worded, it looked like "contract" to me also.

misskriss 0 #5 July 1, 2007 QuoteIf she became pregnant, it would be wrong to impose the responsibility of a child on him This I disagree with. I'm assuming he knows that contraception is not 100%. A child shouldn't have to pay the price because his/her father is a john and the mother a prostitute. The condom broke but he took the risk as did she. Going to a prostitute is obviously a "risky venture" in many ways. Of course, she's probably not pregnant but it does bring up a lot of questions. If I hire a housekeeper to clean my house and she slips and hurts herself in my bathroom am I legally responsible for her injuries? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Akey 0 #9 July 2, 2007 QuoteIf she became pregnant, it would be wrong to impose the responsibility of a child on him. Something i've never quite understood. I believe that in having sex you are surely understanding that there is a chance, no matter how small that you could make a baby, and thus, should be able to deal with the consiquences!

ACMESkydiver 0 #10 July 2, 2007 QuoteIf I hire a housekeeper to clean my house and she slips and hurts herself in my bathroom am I legally responsible for her injuries? Yes, you could be. That depends on if you hired her through a service or if you are directly paying her. If you have a house guest that slips in your bathroom and hurts themselves, you are responsible for their injury as well (through your homeowner's insurance). I have no comment as to the article mentioned above.~Jaye Do not believe that possibly you can escape the reward of your action. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Even though she was hired for "services" it doesn't exempt us from our own responsibilities. Granted, it was a poor example. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
